Trophy ISIS-made weaponry on display at Russia’s Army-2017 expo (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

Among the exhibits shown at the Army-2017 international military expo in Russia are trophies from Syria – weapons captured from terrorist groups by the Syrian Army. The pieces range from home-made mortars to military-grade firearms and explosives.


Most of the exhibits were made in terrorist workshops from whatever materials they had at their disposal. The hardware includes mortars made from water pipes, several improvised multiple rocket launchers, a two-barrel 305mm caliber weapon and a so-called ‘hell cannon’ - a howitzer firing shells made from propane canisters.

Part of the display recreates a workshop for producing projectiles filled with low-grade toxic agents. The jihadists used such improvised chemical weapons to instill terror in the civilian population.
