Dramatic moment fighters open fire on ISIS suicide bomber truck

Moment western troops use a Javelin anti-tank missile launcher to take out a ‘Mad-Max-style’ ISIS car bomb

• Around 12 British, American and French SAS and special forces troops involved in attack in Syria
• Video shows car-bomb racing to its target at a high speed before missiles from troops take it out
• The car disappears into a blaze of fire, leaving a huge stream of black smoke coming out from behind it
• While Kurdish troops whoop and cheer to celebrate the success, it was Western coalition who launched strike

Western special forces soldiers were involved in a Javelin anti-tank missile launch that took out an ISIS car-bomb in Syria, footage has revealed.

Images show a ‘Mad-Max style’ car racing towards its target before being struck by the missile.

The dramatic video was captured by broadcaster France 24.

The broadcaster said about a dozen British, American and French soldiers were involved in the missile launch.

The footage shows the soldiers in military clothing arranging airstrikes from American A-10 tankbuster warplanes, reported The Times.

The Ministry of Defence did not comment on the footage in line with government policy of not discussing special forces operations.

The video shows the car – resembling those in apocalyptic action film Mad Max – careering through the desert at high speed.

The British narrator says: ‘The IS driver hurtles towards our position’, before the missile launches.

The missile hits the car, making the vehicle explode in a huge fireball of black smoke.

Kurdish troops then can be heard whooping and cheering as they celebrate their success.

One female soldier says: ‘A suicide bomber tried to attack us but our comrades managed to kill him’, while another says he’s thrilled because he believes its his missile that has hit the vehicle.

But the video reveals that a coalition of reportedly British, American and French forces were the ones who launched the strike.

The soldiers carried standard issue US weaponry including M4 carbines, an M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle, an M249 light machine gun and a Milkor multiple grenade launcher.

The US currently has 50 special forces soldiers fighting with Syrian domestic forces against Isis, but a spokesman for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) told The Times that the US soldiers are not involved in active combat.

Colonel Tala Selo said: ‘The Western special forces are not settled here, they actually come and go back, 15 to 20 of them each time.’

The footage came just hours after Barack Obama said the US was sending 250 more troops to the war-stricken country.

The video comes after it was announced yesterday that special forces commandos are preparing for a deadly two-headed attack against IS militants in Iraq and Libya.

Hundreds of crack troops from both the SAS and SBS will lead assaults on a key Islamic State held city.

They will join with regiments from France and the US in launching the ground and air attacks aimed at not only regaining the area, but cutting off extremist forces from their Syrian stronghold in the country’s capital, Raqqa.

There have been an increased number of special force raids in recent weeks – about once every three days, according to Obama’s special presidential envoy for the global coalition to counter Isis, Brett McGurk.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that ISIS are developing driverless car technology to carry out attacks.

Scientists and ballistics experts have been employed by the terror group to create sophisticated new weapons intended to bring bloodshed to Europe.

From a ‘jihadi university’ in the Syrian city of Raqqa, they are working on building remote-controlled vehicles which can be used as mobile bombs in devastating strikes.
