| [ALMASDARNEWS] Russian jets have preemptively destroyed two al-Qaeda boom-mobiles in northern Hama Governorate. The jihadist group intended to use the devices against Syrian Army positions in support of a large offensive it launched yesterday. According to sources, the two boom-mobiles were located well behind al-Qaeda’s front-lines in northern Hama by Russian air reconnaissance. Upon identifying the suicide vehicles, Russian precision munitions were directed onto them, destroying both. Reports clarify that both boom-mobiles were not even en-route to their targets at the time of their destruction and that Russian airpower successfully interdicted them before Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham even initiated its offensive. This serves to explain why no car kabooms were reported by any official sources yesterday despite that fact that jihadist forces launched a major offensive against the Syrian Army. Jihadist militias such as Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham always use at least one to two boom-mobiles against pro-government forces during major offensive operations. |
