The Syrian army attacked Turkish-backed militants with cluster munitions.

The Syrian army has published a unique video of a cluster munition strike on jihadist positions near the city of Al-Bab, located near the border with Turkey. According to preliminary data, as a result of the strike, not only the equipment engaged in oil smuggling was hit, but also the military equipment of Turkey, in response to which the Turkish military launched artillery strikes at the Kuveyris airbase a few minutes later.

In the video footage presented, you can see that the filming is carried out in advance, presumably by the soldiers of the Syrian army, who launched a tactical missile strike. Moments after the start of the video, cluster munitions can be seen detonating in the air, resulting in a massive defeat of the jihadist forces on the ground.

To date, this is the first known case of the use of the Tochka-U tactical missile systems by the Syrian army, equipped with a cluster warhead.

Judging by the scale of the strike, the Tochka-U OTRK covered a huge area, thereby eliminating not only the smugglers, but also the jihadists with their armored vehicles escorting the convoy of oil tankers.
