Those modified "truck cannons" are even more elusive, firing a few shots and then running away. Though their accuracy is questionable, they keep the Kurdish soldiers in a constant state of tension, unable to truly rest.
Even more deadly is the aerial threat.
The 1515 Armed break up limited MANPADS and anti-aircraft machine guns and discreetly deploy them on the tops of key buildings, inside semi-collapsed houses, or even on moving trucks.
They are highly disciplined and never expose their position lightly; they only fire briefly when there is a high chance of success.
This greatly limits Alliance Army helicopter activity, sharply decreasing the efficiency of transporting supplies and evacuating the wounded, and makes aerial reconnaissance extremely cautious.
The casualty numbers of the Kurdish soldiers begin to escalate sharply, with morale visibly dropping.
Many soldiers' faces are filled with exhaustion and fear, and signs of avoiding battle passively start to emerge.
