Syrian Army units knocked down three
American drones on the airspace of the mountainous region of Latakia
province, bordering Turkey, military sources in Damascus today reported.
According to the reports, those remote-controlled aircrafts, about two
feet in diameter, five pounds in weight and an average range of about 10
kilometers, were neutralized over areas close to the city of Kessab.
This location, located less than 20 kilometers from the border with
Turkey, is about 40 kilometers east of Idleb, the main seat of the
terrorist grouping for the Liberation of the Levant, led by former Al
Nusra.
The sources added that to the north and east of that
region are located forces of the Turkish army and no less than three
thousand troops of United States Special Forces.
