This is definitely not the first time that SAA shoots down enemy's drones. However, what draws attention in this particular case is that these 3 drones shot down on Saturday were loaded with improvised bombs. Pictures below show the remnants of one of the drones:

As it can be seen on the photos, improvised bombs attached to the drones were made of grenades for an anti-tank grenade launcher (most likely Soviet RPG-7).

According to the reports coming from Deir Ezzor city, ISIS uses such armed drones more and more often desperately looking for any possibilities to penetrate SAA's defensive positions, Alamsdar reported.
