V9: Sinai's ISIS latest Video, Baluchistan's Fighters and More!

Just one day after ISIS in Sinai (also known as Sinai Province or "Wilayat Sinai" had published its latest video, Silah Report had its 9th podcast and managed to discuss the video's content and analyze it. The cast for the 9th episode was: Miles, Adham, Calibre Obscura, Analyst Mick, Jenzen Jones, Ataka, MENA Conflict, Hrachya and Abdullah. Following that, we discussed the small arms and compositions of Baluchistan's fighters, who are waging war against Pakistan to have their own independent state. Including the equipment, force size and training of Pakistani troops who are deployed to face them. Also, Miles brought up some photos showing a Saddam era brochure for Iraqi's military industry intended for the weapons expo they had right before the beginning of the Gulf War. And as usual, the cast discusses a variety of small arms found for sale in Yemen and other countries in the MENA region.
