Description A demolished and burned-out Iraqi IFW W50 truck in the Euphrates River Valley in the aftermath of Operation Desert Storm. March, 1991.

Ref.
Truck

Enhanced color tones using soft color light brushes from GIMP, The sky is based from mayyang.com photo. I wanted to give the truck an overall distressed look, therefore I chose and ink type edit.

Cheers, Mike

I was there in 91 with a unit from 24th Mech Inf division. Saw plenty of scenes just like this.

It occured during Operation Desert Storm, when the U.S. Air Force used the full brunt of their air power to destroy Iraq's army and air bases.
