Footage recorded on the camera of a Free Syrian Rebel participating in combat operations near Damascus, Syria in 2015 captures the moment a recoilless rifle is utilized to destroy an occupied Syrian Arab Army defensive structure.

So, fun fact for the new guys here, sand bags don't defeat recoilless rifles. Who could have guessed?

Also, we do cover down on topics outside of Ukraine from time-to-time. In 2018, YouTube deleted almost the entirety of the Syrian Civil War by banning a bunch of small FSA and SAA units that uploaded combat footage directly to their channels for recruiting, propaganda, and evidence based purposes. This single action by YouTube is one of the worst incidents in modern history of "Big Tech: corporations working to erase history.

While I presume that YouTube and Google did this because it offended advertisers, it's also interesting to note that the deletion occurred at a time where the American Central Intelligence Agency was trying to distance themselves from the conflict due to the rapid radicalization of FSA units by Islamic Extremist Factions that were involved with the conflict.

Regardless, we at Funker530 are still here, and we're not going anywhere. I can share as much combat footage from the Syrian Civil War as I want, and nobody can stop me.

Gotta put this blog post on pause for a minute guys, there's a black van in the driv
