Among the seized equipment are light attack aircraft L-39 Albatros, used for both training and ground attack operations. Reports indicate that Syrian rebels have already begun testing these aircraft, marking an unprecedented advancement in their military capabilities.
Additionally, drones previously operated by the government forces of Bashar al-Assad are now in rebel hands. Possession of this equipment is expected to enhance their reconnaissance and tactical abilities in both current and future battles.
The capture of Kweires Military Airport highlights a shift in the dynamics of the conflict, with rebels gaining access to advanced military technology that was previously exclusive to the Assad regime. Analysts warn that this development could further escalate the conflict, raising concerns over the use of these weapons in an already unstable region.
