The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has uncovered several weapons caches in the town of al-Harrah in the western Daraa countryside.
A Syrian officer told the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) on September 26 that the weapons were uncovered in the course of a combing operation, which was carried out in cooperation with the locals.
The uncovered weapons included:
- A U.S.-made TOW anti-tank guided missile along with a battery for the launcher;
- A Soviet-made Konkurs ATGM;
- A Russian-made MRO-A thermobaric rocket launcher;
- A Soviet-made RPG-26 anti-tank rocket-propelled grenade.

Al-Harrah overlooks a large section of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The town’s hilltop used to host a joint Syrian-Russian signal intelligence (SIGINT) base.
The SAA stepped up its search operations in the southern region recently. Earlier this week, the army uncovered loads of weapons and ammunition, including 60 Grad rockets, in the region.
I’m kind of glad to see the rusted iron pot helmets and what I guess are gas mask filters. Those are some of the rare head-chopper arms cache contents that I probably didn’t pay for with my US taxes. I assume they’re SAA. The rest of the crap? Yeah, that was likely my money. Now if I tried to buy a Konkurs here in the US, I would end up in prison for the rest of my life. How is that even fair?
Funnily enough I was travelling in or near Amish lands in the US in the early 70’s and was startled to see some German WW2 equipment for sale. One of the items was a WW2 Nebelwurfer towed multi rocket launcher.
It was too big for the plane home :)
But what would the neighbors think, I assume they would bring over pastries and such to be very friendly to you. The Russians made Katyushas in mass quantities. Talk about shell shock! Some German defenders had to be evacuated for mental reasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArSZmPz6dAo
