Putin's trophy train of weapons and tanks taken from Syrian rebels during the civil war



This American-made Humvee was used by opposition forces, then captured by the Islamic State and later taken by the Syrian army.


The train, made up of 20 cars carrying captured tanks, rocket launchers, improvised explosive devices and other military hardware.... also known as the Syria Breakthrough Train, a travelling exhibit of captured equipment and other war souvenirs from Russia's five-year involvement in the Middle Eastern country, went on up an epic 20,000-kilometre, 61-city journey through Russia, from the Baltic to the Pacific in 2019.
