MOS:96B2P Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Wow! If this is still being used, as the photo implies, just ... wow. if it could only tell all the stories of all the fights it has been in ................ Now an NCO needs to come along and make that troop get off the barrel and do some preventive maintenance work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I know Syria acquired a lot of German AFVs in the post-WWII years (saw a couple of them myself at a museum in Israel), but even this is crazy, if it's really being used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WynnterGreen Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Video footage surfaced showing Syrian rebels using a German World War II - Era Wehrmacht Howitzer on the battlefield in Idlib. The howitzer appears to be a 10.5 cm leFH 18, a 105 mm light howitzer that entered service with Nazi Germany's armed forces in 1935. The Syrian Army was known to operate limited numbers of the 10,5 cm leFH 18M howitzer, as well as the 7,5cm PaK 40 anti-tank gun. It is likely that the howitzer shown was captured from a Syrian Army base or museum.This footage is part of an ongoing documentary of the war in Syria through raw combat footage.
