ISIS uses captured Turkish Army equipment against Syrian Army in Aleppo
2017-02-03
[ALMASDARNEWS] Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) holy warriors showed off their new military hardware in east Aleppo yesterday, as they attacked the Syrian Arab Army with recently captured Turkish armored vehicles.

The terrorist group’s official media, al-’Amaq, posted footage, yesterday, of their forces using Turkish Kobra vehicles to attack the Syrian Arab Army south of al-Bab.

Using Turkish armored vehicles, the Islamic State recaptured the village of Rasm Surhan after launching a counter-offensive against the Syrian Arab Army.

These armored vehicles were captured by the Islamic State forces during the Turkish Army’s failed offensives east of al-Bab.

A senior officer from the Syrian Arab Army told al-Masdar last week that they believe the Turkish Army purposely leaves their equipment in east al-Bab so that the Islamic State can reuse it against the government forces later.

Borrowed a page from the Iraqis, did they? Knowing the Turks, they probably left the fuel tanks empty and a note that the oil had to be changed.
