Saferight Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I was watching some combat footage from Syria when i saw this and i had to do a double take. http://youtu.be/8TuAxu40BOk?t=4m8s Its a appears to be at 105mm lefh 18 and they broke the recoil mechanism!!! Perhaps wrong ammunition? Also i came across this interesting rebel modified BMP 1 with very well done add on armor. http://youtu.be/OHq_MweXAHU?t=10m57s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwerpunktgrenadier Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Its a appears to be at 105mm lefh 18 Certainly looks like it. I remember a doc on Afghanistan where an Afghan sniper was using a K98k. Seems like there is quite a few items of equipment from WWII being employed in the region. Nice find! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Where did they get that LeFH 18 from? We a have one of those in the Military History Museum over here in Vienna, IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saferight Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 They probably got it from old stocks sitting in a base somewhere. Syria did get a lot of former German equipment like Panzer IVs, StuG IIIs, and various small arms in the 50s from Europe. Probably got some howitzers as well. Heres some various Small arms from WW2 in Syria. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
