Turkish press continues to publish about those weapons, which Ankara directs to Syria or to the borders of Syria. It's about weapons, with the help of which the support of the Syrian anti-government formations is actually carried out.
Turkish journalists report that, that the General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces decided to transfer the ROKETSAN TRG-300 Kaplan multipurpose missile system. The system is capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 120 km. It means, that even with the placement of "Kaplan" on the Turkish-Syrian border, the installation is capable of "shooting through" the entire territory of the province of Idlib - up to its southern borders.
TRG-300 Kaplan missiles are capable of hitting heavy armored vehicles, well fortified and protected facilities.
The mass of the TRG-300 Kaplan solid-propellant rocket is 585 kg, warhead mass - 105 kg. At the same time, the missile of such a complex can hardly be called high-precision.. Deflection when hitting a target can be up to 50 m.
Recall, that during the week, from the positions of the Turkish army, the militants launched an offensive on the areas where the SAA was located. The main vector of the offensive is the village of Nairab. Militants, with the active support of Turkish troops, broke through the SAA defenses in this area.. Air support saved the Syrian army from completely breaking through the front and further advancing the militants, which was provided by aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces. At the same time, the Russian Su-24 bomber was attacked from the ground by militants - from the location of the so-called observation post of the Turkish army. The Russian pilot managed to divert the plane from being hit by a MANPADS missile and returned safely to the Khmeimim airfield.
