A Syrian army soldier with the Russian-made Kornet launcher has destroyed 4 units of heavy military equipment (battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles) belonging to terrorists. The incident took place at the town Khan Al Sheh in the Syrian capital’s countryside on Monday where the Syrian Army was engaged in heavy clashes with pro-US jihadi factions.
We recall on Monday, US-backed militants launched a wide scale attack on the Syrian army’s positions near Khan Al Sheh in the Western Ghouta region, but failed to achieve a success in the battle. Pro-government sources, argue that the militants lost up to 25 fighters and some 8 units of heavy military equipment in the failed attack.

Well done!
Once the big red arrow appears they are doomed. Those missiles are lethal.
Does the Syrian Army have an equivalent of the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross? This guy deserves one!
I sincerely hope that the apcs which got hit were full of those shitsacks. After all, it’s their own medicine coming back to them, dying roasted in an ambushed steel coffin.
great shot! but i always wonder how free the terrorists are to operate heavy war equipments and to transport them. we see terrorists keep using those heavy equipments which means they are not affraid of an air strike. so what is really going on? how come they are still able to operate this way?
i am really confused. where was the air support while a single great soldier destoryed 4 heavy equipments with an atgm. how is that possible?
