The news comes from sources of the Syrian Major State and has been bounced by some Arab newspapers (AMN), without confirmation from other press organs.

In the village of Abu Alalaya, 20 km southeast of Salamiyya, the paramilitaries of the National Defense Forces would have shot down a drone used by the Islamic State to bomb military and civilian posts along the line of contact with the Syrian army.

The carrier would be armed with a NATO (Bulgaria) GLV-HEF manufacture, according to local military sources often used by the Caliphate across the board of Homs, Palmira and Deir Ezzor in particular.

Right around Abu Alalaya, in the area near the governors of Hama and Homs, there is a fierce clash between government and ISIS for the control of the arteries (roads 42 and 45) connecting the Syrian coast to the eastern part of the country. Civilians are also heavily involved.

To cope with the total shortage of aircraft, both the Islamic State and the Islamists of the Hama-Idlib Front, increasingly use drones, useful both in monitoring missions and localized bombing missions.

The GLV-HEF has a range of 400 meters with a charge of about 40 grams of explosive and in its variants it is very common with Syrian Syrian rebels, who often use it with multiple launchers.

If the capture of an unexploded ordnance manufactured by a NATO country in Syria does not make sense, it is worthy of note that it is the date of packing (shown in the photo) indicating a supply of 2014, three years after the beginning of the conflict in the Arab country .

In operations in Aleppo's December, 2016, large quantities of Bulgarian explosives were found in the east of the city, packed in 2015.
