In the fight against ISIS, YPG forces have used armored vehicles covered with metal plates for a long time. One of these vehicles is on the front in Raqqa right now, and it is called the “Scorpion of Seven Lives”. The vehicle earned this name for coming out unharmed from countless attacks.

Şervan Kobanê operates the “Scorpion of Seven Lives”. Şervan says they take bullets every day, but the vehicle has not let them down yet, and adds: “We hit a landmine yesterday, nothing happened. This is why me and my friends love ‘Seven Lives’.”

Şervan said his friends nicknamed the vehicle “Scorpion of Seven Lives”, but he thinks “the vehicle is called YPG. Because it has a will of steel, just like the YPG.”
