It is certainly the most bizarre movie ever released by the Islamic State. In comparison, the video of "special departments"A few months ago, they could really participate in the Oscar night. And it is impossible not to use these tones, after seeing the last effort published on the terrorist channels. The men in black have fielded the ultimate weapon against Russian fighter-bombers: condom bombs. And this is certainly not a transcription error: the terrorists used hundreds of condoms as balloons, connected to small bombs that hover in the sky.
Contraceptives are released in the hope of hitting Vladimir Putin's bombers. This is a safe method - the terrorists say - to hit the killers.
Qualitatively speaking, the video is one of the scarcest branches of the ISIS media branch. The images are of low quality, the feeling is that they were shot quickly. Indeed, the audiovisual care that can be found in the previous videos is lacking. The same audio montage, with the usual ubiquitous Arabic song, is sometimes distorted.
The prophylactic bombs were thrown over the skies of the Syrian city of Idlib. These videos should arouse fear and terror, but the result is totally opposite. Indeed, in some ways, these videos help to stigmatize the cutthroats and their horrors perpetrated. The three-minute video begins with the preparation of hundreds of flying bombs with condoms already inflated inside an abandoned building. There is no shortage of inscriptions on the walls. The condom bombs are then released waiting to hit some advanced fourth-generation Russian fighters or an armored helicopter like the Kamov. The film ends with an overview of hundreds of bombs floating in the sky.
Now Putin will have to contend with the Islamic state condom bombs. Really nice - comments from sources close to the Kremlin - we will kill them last (citing the phrase of an American film). It would be absurd to think that such a video could really terrorize a Western soldier. Let alone a Russian.
But the real purpose of these propaganda videos should not be underestimated: to intimidate the local public, demonstrating an obscure as well as invincible force, but at the same time making themselves attractive to proselytize. A sort of glorification of the tactics and of the chosen soldiers of the caliphate.
