On November 22, the Syrian Military Intelligence sized a large shipment of weapons, which was on its way to the Eastern Ghouta region near Damascus, according to Hezbollah media wing in Syria. The source added that the source of the weapons is the northern al-Suwayda countryside where US-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) groups operate.
The shipment included 15 Soviet-made Malyutka and Iranian-made Raad (an Iranian upgraded copy of Malyutka) anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs). 3 Soviet-made Konkurs, 2 Russian-made Metis-M and 1 French made MILAN ATGMs were also sized from the shipment, along with thermal sights for Metis-M and Konkurs launchers.

The weapons shipment included dozens of US-made M72 LAW anti-tank rockets, plus dozens of Soviet-made RPG-22, RPG-26, and Czechoslovakian-made RPG-75 anti-tank rockets. These types of the anti-tank rockets were supplied by Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the US to the FSA in the US-led coalition base in Tanaf area north of al-Suwayda.

There also were 3 disassembled Soviet-made R-60 air-to-air missiles. A special training is needed to disassemble this type of missiles, according to experts . These R-60 missiles may be used in another attempt to produce some ground-to-air missiles by militants. There is no other reason why they would smuggle air-to-air missiles to besieged militants that don’t operate warplanes for sure.

Huge amount of drugs like marijuana and captagon tablets was also included in the shipment, along with dozens of explosive belts, mines and explosive materials.

Damn it.
Haha also pot in the shipment. Allahu akbar ?
And speed.
The Syrian army has turned much of the drug smell into dead Smell. The Russian air force has spread their body piece all over for firtilization of the land.
Lol yeah
SAA should use it lol
Captagon is a U.S. army drug.
I wonder how long this Eastern Ghouta safe heaven will last after the termination of ISIS campaign by the SAA. It looks like a lost cause to me, surely a reconciliation process will save hundreds if not thousands of lifes?
I expect the elimination of these druggie murderers will require another 5 years after all shooting is finished. The world community now has a terrorist murder rate per country. There is no longer a terrorist murder free country. Thanks in part to Sunni Muslim atheist nazi Obama and his bosses the atheist zionist New World Order. As Russia and China have helped create a second world order, we should expect to see lots of real human wealth expanding.
Syria & Russia ask the United Mickey Mouse States of America for more captured war booty as soon as possible please.
A convoy of arms passing through SAA held area’s?
How far did that convoy get through SAA held lands, how many road blocks did they pass?
Seems like sloppy security to me, unless they were captured at the first roadblock.
dutchnational = Inspector Clouseau .. without clue :D
I bet he is not dutch either…
He allegedly lives in the NL, but I think he is Kurdish.
With my little Arabic I understand that the Mukhabarat (secret police) has stopped the weapons smugglers in As Suwaidah as they were on their move from Daraa towards Damascus. Seems more like your assumptions are sloppy, dutchnational ;)
The arms smugglers have the first world state-of-the-art services of the British, French and Americans to assist them- indeed much of the smuggling is done by SAS officers ‘disguised’ as rebels.
Yep, the US supplying Russian-made and Iran made hardware to make them look bad.
How they got Iranian stuff?
There are always corrupt people in all the conutries and armies.
Exactly, that is the idea.
finally they caught one shipment .. :) congratulations .
How did they get Iranian missile?
Ever hear of the Interantional Arms Market. I suppose you think the Russian made arms came direct from Russia too?
Lol where do they host these.markets?
Please, for the CIA that is not a problem. Just tell them what weapon of what coutry you want, and that is.
Loot from SAA arms depots, probably a couple of years ago.
Seized not sized…..
Get rid of USA from Syrian soil or expect the worst to come.
Not bright to send so much in one shipment.
Very strange they do not write how and where. I am in a periode, where I think most inf. seemes to be fake. I think I recognize that white rockets and it belongings. Do I ?
But if not, this is a very good catch and should be done more often.
