(ADDED SUBTITLES) In standard American Humvee crammed nine people: two soldiers of the Iraqi army and seven journalists. Here in this part we were like "sardines in the bank," driven to the front somewhere under Mosul. This regular press tours organized by the Iraqi command to show international journalists the liberated neighborhoods of the city. Taking long in the desert. Because of the dust in armored windows with traces of bullet holes we can't see anything. Taking long in the desert. Because of the dust in armored windows with traces of bullet holes we can't see anything. Gunner upstairs trying to sing. But then the front of the armored car stops dead in its tracks. All agreed that pierced the wheel. But machine-gun fire from the side where should be the city, made a clarification. The wheel is shot. The drivers put the spare on, and accompanied us General tries to calm everyone down. In General, cost. Here is much hotter. We are on the edge of Mosul, the capital of ISIS hand. The house visible even to the naked eye, they are not more than a kilometer, now there is the Iraqi special forces. Fighting in the Mosul are now in their third week. The anti-ISIS coalition forces managed to encircle the city, but then the attack stopped. In the morning, grab a few houses, at night the terrorists to discourage them. The next day everything repeats. But then the Eastern neighborhoods of Mosul to move not get. It seems that the terrorists deliberately threw all the surrounding communities and focused only on protecting its capital. "Would certainly faster move to the center, but there is a population we are very careful" - said the brigade commander of the Iraqi army Asim Nazar Jasim. People are still trying to escape with white flags from the besieged city, often find themselves in the crossfire. Humanitarian corridors and hours of quiet for special escaping civilians there so far. This is my nephew. In our house the entrenched terrorists, when they knocked he was wounded. He died in the hospital. Street fighting is the most difficult in any military operation. Dense residential development and the remaining civilians to nullify the superiority in manpower and heavy armor. To surrender the terrorists are not going to. Resist to the end. They intentionally missed the armored vehicles in the narrow streets and started to shoot her at close range with hand grenades. Elite Iraqi division in "Altoona" (translated as "Golden") loses the tank for the tank. The terrorists broke through the information blockade and began to upload footage, which famously beat off the attack on Mosul. The militants on camera bragging about their victories and mock the coalition. Here they managed to undermine American armored personnel carrier. And defeat a column of Shiite Humvee "Hashd al-Shaabi" They trample black flags with the image of the prophet Hussein. Mock the bodies of dead soldiers, vicality their eyes. Problems with the ammunition the terrorists don't seem to be experiencing. Militants can even use the captured weapons. The footage shows terrorists shooting from ATGM tanks "Abrams", which is in an open area makes a wonderful target. Attacks on Iraqis shoot drones. Often in the course are armored cars loaded with explosives. Bomber at full speed crashed or in a separate tank or in the accumulation of military equipment. Several UAVs of the terrorists managed to bring down, and showed us what it is. "This is the unmanned drones of the brand "Puma", they are made in China. But bought them in Europe. These aircraft have two cameras to shoot our Peshmerga, and then to strike with suicide bombers," says former speaker of the Kurdistan Parliament Kamal Kirkuk. Manufacture of bombs on wheels is also put on stream. Normal jeep sheathe with sheets of steel in the thickness of a finger and Jihad-mobile ready. "This armored car was used by one of the emirs. It was his personal car, he moved it across the front," says the commander of the Iraqi army Akit Shakr. Above the ruins is a terrible smell of decaying bodies. Karakose seized several armored vehicles of the terrorists, they had stuffed with explosives. "There was a meeting of the commanders of ISIS, they are here for armored cars arrived. They calculated intelligence and precision air strikes destroyed" says Sofa Jamil Bengal. Residents of liberated cities that near Mosul, are beginning to return to the plundered and deserted town. "Here lived an invalid, he could not escape with all. Relatives found his body buried near the house, and the top as the monument stood his Walker" - says a resident of Karakosh (Bakhdida). In the Christian Karakosh when he joined ISIS, leaving only a few feeble old men. "They threw me to the floor, pointed a gun in her belly and began to shout: the Old lady give me all your gold," says Zarifa Bakosh. Two years octogenarian Zafira Bakosh, together with the roommate has lived in captivity of ISIS. Even their slaves did not.
