Keep an eye on the Kateib Ahrar al-Sham Youtube channel. The videos aren't advertised as EFP but the indicator is a shallow metallic liner at the front of a cylinder which is placed at the side of a road. There is a video doing the rounds which claims to show the death of Colonel Abdul Razak el-Khalaf caused by an EFP IED; there is footage of the device.<br /><br />The BBC had a good feature of Syrian militants which shows the emplacement of an IED which is highly likely an EFP. I say this because of the shape of the IED container and the way it is deployed, even though the front of the IED and a liner cannot be seen:<br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-18580175<br /><br />Rule of thumb: if the cone in an IED is steep, it is a shaped charge; if it is shallow, it is more likely to be an EFP liner.Trazzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803038587673410702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871088750473093560.post-11805344309215697882012-07-12T06:48:49.617-07:002012-07-12T06:48:49.617-07:00If you have any examples of EFPs that would be ver...If you have any examples of EFPs that would be very handy.Brown Moseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562126209980810351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871088750473093560.post-59084730515624966302012-07-12T06:32:44.536-07:002012-07-12T06:32:44.536-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Trazzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803038587673410702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871088750473093560.post-13789871176389122432012-07-12T06:31:47.394-07:002012-07-12T06:31:47.394-07:00The second video also shows a shaped-charge, rathe...The second video also shows a shaped-charge, rather than an EFP. It doesn't matter what material the cone is made from because it is the shape of the main charge which causes the shaped-charge effect. The stand-off requirements for a shaped-charge are also quite complicated; something that training is required for. Whereas an EFP can be deployed completely differently.Trazzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803038587673410702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871088750473093560.post-15432625381932492262012-07-12T06:24:44.381-07:002012-07-12T06:24:44.381-07:00That first video shows components for shaped-charg...That first video shows components for shaped-charges, not EFPTrazzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803038587673410702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871088750473093560.post-69710007585837485762012-06-28T13:58:45.568-07:002012-06-28T13:58:45.568-07:00Huh.

That EFP's deployed against US troops in Iraq were Persian in origin is a well proven fact. Not sure who is providing them to the FSA in Syria, but as the Youtube video shows, this "technology" is now "open source." Considering how many foreign fighters against US troops in Iraq got safe passage through Syria, it is ironic how the hand that feeds often gets bit.A&EOChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08778129077304981325noreply@blogger.com
