Are there any actual reports on ISIS's use of armor?

Are they generally incompetent like most middle eastern tankers, or are they actually doing anything with what they got?

I don't think so, all of their armor is either Iraqi or Syrian though. They've successfully used it in several of their offensives to break fortified positions and so on, I think it's quite likely they offered to recruit captured tank crews instead of killing them and at least a few took up the offer.

There's a video of an execution where they literally run a man over with a tank from his feet to his head slowly.

Beyond that, I know nothing of ISIS and their tanks.

No

Abu Hajaar proves it

I think this would be a terrible burden, tanks would also be massively vulnerable to SDF/Russian aviation.

I think RT did put up some videos of russians bombing the shit out of some armor depots. I bet it's a bitch to actually keep these things rolling with regards to maintenance, fuel consumption and overall logistics.

They weren't on a tank though. It was a repurposed HMMWV.

There is also a large number of ex Saddam troops fighting with ISIS, a number of their top commanders were high ranking Ba'ath party members before the invasion. It's also likely that a number of ex-Syrian soldiers are fighting with them too. That would mean they probably have at least some fighters trained in armoured warfare.

The soldiers under saddam learned the skills necessary to survive.

It shouldn't be surprising they survived the chaos of the American invasion while others didn't

I don't know about ISIS other than that they use T-55s and T-72s, but if you want to feel sick about something, Kataib Hezbollah (Iranian backed Shia militia who blew up US soldiers during the Iraq War) regularly deploys M1 Abrams tanks

The way ME has been going I wouldn't be surprised that before all this ends we see US army fighting an army being supplied by CIA with Saudis invading people to impose democracy.

Funny thing is that in the early days of the Iraq War even Assad funded AQI (they later turned into ISIS)

There're mostly made up of second gen yuropoor sandnig neets, illiterate Algerian guttertrash, and chechens.

Do those sound like competent tankers to you?
