"The second example, featured in a May 29 2016 official IS video release from its Tarabulus media office as part of an attack against Libyan Dawn forces West of Sirte, was a next to identical up-armoured truck. However, the frontal armour on this example was not angled, and had instead been fitted with frontal slat armor.". (VBIED)
