The video showed that the SAA has captured dozens of light, and heavy machine guns and sniper rifles. The SAA also captured several anti-tank weapons including at least 3 Russian-made RPG-29. In addition, 2 unidentified man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADs) were captured by the SAA. The SAA also seized more than 20 drones, and what appears to be some ISIS made DIY drones.
The SAA also captured the following heavy weapons:
- 3 T-55 tanks one of them up-armored;
- 1 T-62 tank;
- 1 Humvee armored vehicle;
- 1 VBIED;
- 1 M-46 130 mm artillery pieces;
- 2 D-20 152 mm artillery piece;
- 1 D-30 122-mm artillery piece mounted on a truck.
Syrian pro-government sources released another video that showed a communication center of ISIS. According to the sources, the SAA captured many US-made military radio systems inside the center.
An officer of the SAA told SANA that the weapons and ammunition that were displayed are only 25% of what the SAA sized inside Mayadin. The amount of the weapons captured by the SAA proves that ISIS didn't expect the SAA could advance so rapidly towards this strategic city.
