IS death machine captured before suicide run

A Mad Max-style armoured IS truck reminiscent of designed to inflict catastrophic damage was captured in Syria before it had the chance to be detonated.

Footage of the claimed vehicle taken in 2015 was released on Wednesday providing a detailed look at the heavily armoured car.

The captured truck features four barrels on the back presumably for carrying explosive materials, as well as spiked wheels.

Bullet proof vehicles like the one seen in the video have become a popular form of kamikaze vehicle for the terrorist group.

The heavy armour protects the driver and vehicle from opposition forces allowing it reach its destination before it sets off its explosives.
