Defense Tech: More Images Surface of Damaged Russian Tank in Syria
More images purporting to show a damaged Russian-made T-90 tank in Syria are surfacing on social media.
On Tuesday, the Twitter account WorldOnAlert posted the following tweet and stated the vehicle was captured on or around April 16 in the town of Al-Eis near southern Aleppo by militants affiliated with the Al-Nusra Front, also known as al-Qaeda in Syria, from forces loyal to the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Whether it’s the same T-90 that was recently struck by a U.S.-made missile wasn’t immediately clear.

WNU Editor: Hard to say that from these photos if it is the same tank .... then again .... there are not that many T-90 tanks in Syria in the first place.

The T-90 that was hit by the the TOW, was marked 2-19 and was recovered.
The twitter picks appear to show the same tank, (same damage) from two different angles, "designed" to obscure the unit markings.
The photo's are also not geotagged, or dated, so other than al Quida's claim, there is no "proof".
In a war in which Human Rights Watch is using fake photo's to fake atrocities, until a loss is confirmed, or al Quida releases new photo's in which like all their other captured trophies, they have tagged it with their jihadi graphiti, take the claim with a large dose of salt.
