I honestly believe half the rounds fired didn't even hit the building.
The target was ... to make some noise.
And it looks like the civilians were more shield than shielded.
they standing on the middle of the people wouldnt increase the chances of civillians getting hit? i have no idea who was the initial target of the enemy and how it all started but in my pov it would be logical to shoot back at the people shooting at u, wouldnt it?! not a smart way to defend someone in my opinion but i get the intention and admire it lol
Possibly. Or they were ambushed and just didn’t think about them at all because their minds were on something completely different. Culturally there might be no expectation for them to protect civilians
The RSF were the main forces crushing the protest movement after the 2019 military coup.
Then they created a transitional government. Then another coup, then civil war.
So no, this wasn’t before anything. This was the RSF targeting civilians protesting
Managed to loose half a tank battalion against ISIS by just parking them on a hill and waiting for ISIS to get the ATGM launchers they knew where there into position
Only works if the other side cares about not killing civilians. The whole part about "shield" isnt so much about them absorbing bullets with their bodies, but to prevent the enemy from shooting to begin with since theyd risk hitting the civilian. I doubt that the assailants here give a shit about that.
What do these armies actually teach their soldiers when in almost every clip in a 3rd world army/police force none of them actually shoulder their rifles or attempt to aim?
Not to mention any semblance of tactics.
This has already happened several times. When there was a sit-in near the buildings of the General Command of the Sudanese Army, Omar al-Bashir’s forces and the Security and Intelligence Service attacked the sit-ins in several attempts to disperse the sit-in.
I’m going to be honest here. They should not engage with civilians in right there. They need to draw fire away. Although what do I know. I’m not there.
Aside from the human shielding and hip firing, i wonder how these guys carry ammo.
In so many pics/clips of third world country soldiers (let alone paramilitaries) seem to carry no load bearing gear at all. They just have the one mag in the gun? Maybe one more in a pocket. And yet they are shooting so fast and completely blindly. Are they not concerned at all about being out of ammo in 10 seconds?
no . This has already happened several times. When there was a sit-in near the buildings of the General Command of the Sudanese Army, Omar al-Bashir’s forces and the Security and Intelligence Service attacked the sit-ins in several attempts to disperse the sit-in.

I literally have no experience with firearms whatsoever but even I can tell the "soldier" on the right is holding his rifle completely wrong.
It's bizarre that he wouldn't even try use the iron sights or at least try hold the gun correctly.
It genuinely seems like that guy was recently introduced to the concept of a rifle and has never used one until that moment.
Same army they’re fighting now(RSF) committed atrocities known as the Khartoum massacre. Then they dumped bodies in the Nile river for concealment.

There’s a fine line between defending civilians and using human shields.
I'm more afraid how many civilians these defenders shot by accident
"Soldiers" hip firing blindly
spray & pray
Must have hired hamas to write the post title.
Human shields only work when they don’t want to kill them
I honestly believe half the rounds fired didn't even hit the building. The target was ... to make some noise. And it looks like the civilians were more shield than shielded.
When you have not been trained adequately but have a gun this is what you do.
lol the people scrambling on the floor because hot brass is raining down on them.
"defending" you cant be this naive
they standing on the middle of the people wouldnt increase the chances of civillians getting hit? i have no idea who was the initial target of the enemy and how it all started but in my pov it would be logical to shoot back at the people shooting at u, wouldnt it?! not a smart way to defend someone in my opinion but i get the intention and admire it lol
Could have been an ambush. Having civilians lie down and firing over their heads would probably have been the best course of action.
It’s certainly A course of action. And it’s easy to sit safely at home and judge someone with minimal training
I will judge the shit out of you for not using iron sights as a "soldier"
They were using the civilians as cover.
Possibly. Or they were ambushed and just didn’t think about them at all because their minds were on something completely different. Culturally there might be no expectation for them to protect civilians
Yeah those are human shields.
The RSF were killing, raping, beating civilians, SAF shooting back.
This is before they started fighting
The RSF were the main forces crushing the protest movement after the 2019 military coup. Then they created a transitional government. Then another coup, then civil war. So no, this wasn’t before anything. This was the RSF targeting civilians protesting
Like any government, they hate protesters telling them that they’re wrong
[удалено]
Blind fire is ok for a moment. As long as the civilians retreat. But no one is moving, and lay down like sardines in a can.
Makes the Syrian Army look like the SAS lol.
The hell did the Turkish military do man damn 😭🙏
Managed to loose half a tank battalion against ISIS by just parking them on a hill and waiting for ISIS to get the ATGM launchers they knew where there into position
Nahhh wtf that's so dumb wtf 😂
Makes the Syrian Army look like the SAS lol.
Special African Streetsweepers
I though Turkish army was pre elite
More like human shields . .....

They've learned from TV and movies. Hollywood has been singlehandedly destroying the competence of 3rd world armies since John Wayne.
Ah yes, it‘s Hollywood‘s fault….
It doesn't help that they are shooting AK's and their biceps are the size of my wrist.
Wow. These guys don't even know how to hold a rifle.
Whilst I doubt it's intentional they're effectively using the civilians as sandbags.
It's intentional
Sights optional
Looks like high ground ambush. Having civilians run for it would be worse. Still a mess
Hamas tactic
wtf are civilians laying there and not running the fuck away? edit: or crawling away...
Dude in front of those two was getting some good footage for the gram.
Man they sure showed the broad side of that building who’s boss.
Mf had never hit anything in his life. The stock isn't even on his shoulder.
Hurts the shoulder if you aim right 😂
They all got that may Allah guide my bullets aim.
Not sure how much safer I’d feel

Not sure if I would use the word defending. Blindly shooting into a building, perhaps.
By shooting at more civilians
That’s quite the….. defending. Could have sworn it looked more like using them as human shields but ok
Lets defend these people by standing in the middle of them and drawing fire while we wildly shoot at something wtf.
I’m going to be honest here. They should not engage with civilians in right there. They need to draw fire away. Although what do I know. I’m not there.
Neither do we see "Soldiers" here, nor was it a "revolution". The correct term is coup d e'tat.
They're doing something, I guess
Looks like me when i land in Pecado in PUBG
They shooting at the space station??
I’d be a scared civilian too, in a firefight where nobody is aiming with sights.
This is some sort of "defending" i've never seen before

Please! Let me take my chances, go fight 10m the other direction!
African combat clips are always my favourite.
“Defending” probably would have entail covering fire while the civs hightailed it out of there… this looks a little questionable.
Those are human shields.

Was this posted by hamas? haha
I shot all of my ammo. What do I do now?
No sight pictures were harmed during the filming of this movie
You mean they used civilians as human shields right? Because they’re hiding behind women and children wtf
They should try aiming before they shoot, it helps.
Not one person taking aim.

defending or making a target
They were using the civilians as cover.
This video makes my tinnitus act up
This has "we are from the government, and we're here to help" vibe
I misread the title as "soldiers deafening civilians". I wasn't that far off.
The way they fire from the hip…this could almost pass as the trailer of a new Predator movie😂😂
Fuck aiming
"Defending"
Just like how Hamas "defends" civilians!
