The air defenses of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) shot down ten drones over the countryside of Idlib and Aleppo, the Syrian Ministry of Defense announced on October 30.

In a brief statement, the ministry said that the drones were launched by “armed terrorist groups” with the aim of “attacking army points and the surrounding safe villages and towns.”

Most of Idlib countryside and the western countryside of Aleppo are a part of the so-called Greater Idlib region which is occupied by al-Qaeda-affiliated Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). The terrorist group was most likely behind the failed drone attack.

Several photos released by the ministry and a video shared by the official Syrian Arab News Agency showed the wreckage of the drones.

Most of the downed drones were commercially-available quadcopters, either armed with small unguided munitions or modified for FPV suicide attacks. Few others were locally-made fixed-wing suicide drones which are usually used in attacks behind the front.

The failed drone attack came amid reports of a plan by HTS to launch a large-scale attack against the Syrian military in order to take advantage of the distraction caused by the ongoing Israeli war on both the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

The SAA and its allies have been taking measures to deter the group. In recent weeks, the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out several waves of strikes against targets in Greater Idlib. The army also deployed some of its elite units along the front with the region.

fudge cracker

so in other words —> israel sent drones over syria. funny. gajillions spent in the usa and huge gaping hole in military strategy because drones are cheep. look at the workmanship on that bigger drone. someone is slapping sh!t together.

Mowaten

they’re usng the daeshites to do their dirty work, but they’re not going to give them anything too valuable. after all, they still despise them like they despise all goyims. isis and other groups are just stupid cannon fodder for the zionazi project

Mowaten

most the money went into paying salaries for these mercenaries and brining them to syria.

unlike real resistance groups like hezbollah, takfiris work for pay, not for principles
