(Damascus) In this third and final part of how the Turks are using their technological advantage to defeat the Syrians on the battlefield, I am going to gas about the ground war. The Turks initially reacted to the killing of it soldiers on Thursday using it's T-300 Kasirga Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher (MBRL) in which to strike ground targets inside Syria. Based on the Chinese 300mm Weishi rocket system which the Turks have built under licence, it affords the Turks the capability to drop a 1/4 of a tonne of high explosives on a target with each missile, seeing as each launcher carries 4 and each missile battery consists of between 6 to 9 launch vehicles , you are talking 6 tonnes of High explosives on any given target out to 120 kms
And funny enough somebody caught them in use on Thursday evening/Friday morning last, resulting in a lot of sore heads the next day:

Whilst the Syrians have the similar Russian made BM-30 Smerch Missile system on their books , the Turkish system is a lot newer as in just been taken into service as opposed to the 31 year old Russian system, also the Turks used their UAVs to find and locate targets something the Syrians are lacking .#UPDATE: Video of Turkish TRG-300 Kaplan (Tiger) missile system firing into Syria pic.twitter.com/axS267etsU— ELINT News (@ELINTNews) February 28, 2020
The Turks have also deployed its KORAL Electronic Warfare System, something the Syrians don't have simply as until now they have had no use for such fighting against rebels whose largest attribute is an ability to die for the cause. In a nutshell the Koral can blind radars and communications.
Turkish military deployed electronic jamming equipment over the border into #Idlib . This equipment can disrupt various types of communication and can cause electronic blindness to the enemy #Syria #Syrianarmy🇸🇾please feel free to follow for daily Syrian Arab Army updates 🇸🇾 pic.twitter.com/5TeWfXuayF— Steele M (@SteeleSyAA) March 1, 2020
