Syrian Army Utilizes Modern Armored Vehicles in War on Terrorists in Eastern HomsThe Arabic-language website of Sputnik reported that the army used Russia-made MT-LB armored vehicles, equipped with 23mm cannon, in the liberation operation of the town of al-Sukhnah in Eastern Homs.

Meanwhile, senior Russian military expert Yuri Liamin said that the Syrian Army had not previously owned MT-LB armored vehicles, adding that the vehicles were vastly used in Iraq.

Liamin further said that Russians might have recently dispatched MT-LB vehicles to Syria or the vehicles might have been seized from the terrorists who, in turn, had captured the vehicles in clashes with the Iraqi army earlier.
