The armored combat vehicles Turkey delivered to the new Syrian military last year were the same ones ditched by the Georgian military for being unreliable..
A batch of Ejder 6×6 vehicles, manufactured by Turkey’s Nurol Makina, were first spotted being shipped on trucks in northern Syria in July. At the time, the vehicles were still painted in the three-tone camouflage of the Georgian military. Later in December, the vehicles, repainted in desert tan, took part in a parade in the capital, Damascus, marking the first anniversary of the fall of the regime of former President Bashar al-Assad.
The Ejder 6×6, which weights around 18 tons, features a v-shaped hull for improved protection against landmines and improvised explosive devices, and has an operational range of up to 700 kilometers, with a top speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
It was reported in 2024 that, having proved unreliable, at least 72 Ejders Georgia received from 2008 had been returned to Turkey in exchange for newly-built BMC Vuran 4×4 armored vehicles.
Notably, the remotely-controlled weapon stations which were installed on the Gregorian military’s Ejders were removed before the delivery to Syria.
It is highly unlikely that the Syrian military got all the Ejders ditched by Georgia, as vehicles of this type were reportedly spotted during a graduation ceremony for new recruits at the Turkish training facility in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, last July.
The Syrian military’s Ejders saw action in battles with Kurdish forces, which took place in the north and east of the country earlier this year. It is unclear if any of the vehicles was lost.
Following the fall of the Assad regime, Turkey emerged as the main ally of the new government which was formed by Islamist rebels it backed for years. Ankara is now playing a leading role in the rebuilding of the country’s forces.
In addition to the Ejders, Turkey recently supplied the Syrian military with more capable armored vehicles, like the Cobra and Cobra II, made by Otokar, as well as the Amazon made by BMC Otomotiv.
It is unclear yet if Syria paid for the used Ejders, but it is very possible that the vehicles were sent free of charge. It is also possible that one of Syria’s allies, like Qatar or Saudi Arabia, financed the deal.
While recent supplies from Turkey improved the combat capabilities of the Syrian military somewhat, the country is yet to make up for advanced offensive and defensive weapons destroyed by Israel after the fall of the Assad regime. Ankara and other allies of Syria will not likely help it rebuild these capabilities any time soon, for political, military and financial reasons.

turkey, just stick to making beko washing machines!!!!
berko they call them in the trade here they don’t even hold regular size plates .
here’s a clue to another future shock being planned why you might just only need little plates soon and little bowls.
uk government breaks down as barley and oats harvest collapse across england. you tube
maybe that’s why earl spencer moved his farming to south africa. decades ago
so now that they’re taxing farmers off the land with inheritance taxes,and killing their cows and sheep with footrot and mad cow, the weather s taking its toll following raised fertiliser prices as a package to promote unenglsh farming activities potential starvation throughout un fortunate events of ww3 thanks to russian hegemony.
combine the weather with the spanish floods portuguese floods indonesian floods and south africa’s as well as australias floods in summer in alice springs. historic floods all of them. and hardly mention by msm at all just the usual xthousands without electricity, next story boys in small shorts playing with balls.
let’s start writing negative reviews in beko appliance reviews.we must force beko to stop being sold to europe.
hawarnews.com we must force beko to stop selling to europe. we can do it. we must pray that a smarter israeli president than netanyahu will come along and destroy turkey. that probably wouldn’t be too hard for mossad.

with any luck, the terrorists will also come to russia and help the ukrainians kill russian generals around moscow.
jealousy can kill . all europe using beko products they are very good..
i want a genocide against alawites and kurds to happen so big that ghassan alian can annex sweida and that all store managers across europe will cancel beko household appliances. i want enough shame for turkey that all products made in turkey will be boycotted across europe for another 100.000 years. above all, i wish georgia and kazakhstan would become part of nato, so that all the traitors who first made of betraying syria would pay.
i hope that georgia will join nato, so that they will use their military vehicles at home in their georgia.
certainly, such a supported terrorist hts deserves a suitable punishment and the best possible punishment would be a war with russia.
except for russia and china, globalist military industrial complexes exist for profit gained by plundering taxpayers. who cares if the products work. the stock market is far more important
dont be stupid chinese based factories owned by european western billionaires , are the backbone of the stockarket you jerk .
eighteen dead kurdish children are not enough.

there should be enough dead kurdish children to ban ordering beko household appliances. above all, it would be great if kazakhstan and georgia joined nato, so that either all the traitors who betrayed syria (forced mobilization for these traitorous scum headed by bashar and his sons and daughter )would pay, or even better, russia would destroy all the weapons made in georgia. and factories too.
he’s got no idea, that’s why they like him he says things that dumbarses say. you know kids in the bottom class
oh really ??? do tell please sir can i ave some more ?
ghassan alian was promised the druze that he will hold a referendum on the annexation of sweida to israel.
i hope genocides against alawites and kurds happen so that the turks will be ashamed enough to remove erdogan. if the lives of all syrian alawites and kurds are the price to pay for destroying the reputations of dump, putler and erdogan to the point of being transferred to prison, the price is low.
eighteen dead children are not enough to completely destroy turkey’s reputation.https://hawarn ews.com/en/jineology-academy-docume nts-exec ution-of-18-civilians-and-k illing-of-18-chil dren
