Two other Leopard 2A4, placed on one and the same position, were hit to the west of al-Bab on December 13. Supposedly, missiles from the Konkurs anti-tank missile system were used against the both of tanks. The first tank was severely damaged by the explosion of the anti-tank missile system, but did not catch on fire. The second tank was destroyed. However, there are no official information from the Turkish side about the losses.
Military experts believe that militants use Soviet antitank weapons systems: the Fagot and Kornet that were captured by them from arsenals of the government forces in Syria and Iraq.
