The SAA also captured a huge amount of ammunition, a large number of light weapons and night vision equipment.
An officer of the SAA told the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) that many of the captured weapons are made by the US and its allies like the TOW missiles and M777 howitzers, or supplied by the US to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) previously like Bulgarian-made Faktoria missiles.

Quite a haul!
Just imagine how much it cost and this is only one small haul. It really is shocking.
thats huge bitch
This is a good day for Syrian nation. Congratulation to every one that fought against US, Israhell and NATO army forces.
Will make Hezbollah very happy and Israel can’t attack Syria over these weapons since they were not Iranian made but a gift from their proxies.
Syrian war has been a crime spree of weapons sales.
How many ex Soviet countries Criminal gun runners made big money /USD $$ on the game ?
If your Putin…..all these weapons getting used up in the Mid east is good for Russia.
Vs another Chechnya.
Ya….there’s some humiliation as Uncle Shlomo decides the games tempo and direction.
But hey….Your in the game and it’s profitable.
I’m sure US are pissed off about Kalibr missiles and Khibiny Jamming systems.
That’s game though : )
There will be many more weapons finds than this. ATGM’s will come in handy for Hezbollah against Israel.
