Russian military truck with increased payload "Tornado-U" spotted in Syria
The latest Russian high-capacity Tornado-U vehicles have been spotted in Syria. Photos of the military "Ural" appeared on Twitter.
As explained, the pictures were taken in the city of Seraqib in the east of Idlib province. The city is home to the units of the Russian military police, introduced there in early March 2020 to control the M4 and M5 highways. Prior to that, Serakib had been under the control of militants from the Islamic State terrorist organization banned in Russia for several years.
The drawing on the cab door of the truck suggests that the vehicle belongs to Russian military police. There are no other explanations, although it is added that Tornado-U was not previously seen in Syria.
