Thermal riflescope footage reportedly filmed on Oct. 2, 2021 appears to show Kurdish HPG insurgents of the PKK engaging a Turkish military helicopter over Iraq's northern Metina border region.

It's not clear from the footage if any hits were actually landed, and the aircraft doesn't appear to deviate significantly in response to the shots. However, with enough practice, this rifleman and his equipment could become a very real threat to low-flying aircraft.
