180mm gun S-23 in Syria
Wonder where they are getting the ammo to feed that beast...
SAA S-60 57mm
Look at the size of those shells... it was found to be very effective against ground forces... I suspect it will be the same in Syria almost 3kgs of shell at 1km/s is real wake up call in anyones language...

Yes this one should be in Damascus, here's some S-60 in action shelling rebel positions in 2013

T-55s with cage armour, shield plates for HMG and bulldozer blade
This looks like the best cage armour upgrade seen so far...
From another angle
Video from Qalamoun fighting where the "cage" equipped T-55's are shown, as well as a brief view of the truck mounted KS-19 is seen firing (at 00:17)

Thanks for the contributions guys, if there are more recent pics of SyAAF aircraft that would be great! (that Su-22M-3 pic is the best of it in SyAAF colours i've seen).

Gents, wonder if you can help me, i was reading with surprise in a SIPRI file that Syria supposedly received 4 Buk-M1 systems as far back as 1986! (to clarify, not talking about the Buk-M2E received recently, but the very early variant of the system). Anyone heard anything about that, has there ever been confirmation? Thanks.

From memory, I think they received some Kub-M4 variants which is sort of a hybrid between the Kub and Buk

Do you know if there's any picture or video confirmation of that Cyberspec? While looking on the web, not sure if accurate but i found a link to a syrian air defence drill vid on youtube describing (apparently) the types of missile shown in it, and that description included the 9K37 Buk-M1 (SA-11), but the video has been deleted. I've seen the well known air-defence drill video depicting the Buk-M2E for the first time among other SAM types, but i haven't seen anything like the Buk-M1 in there- unless i wasn't attentive enough. Thanks.

No unfortunately no hard proof...it was just some alleged sightings of BUK like vehicles (launcher with radar) but only with 3 missiles per launcher, deployed with "regular" KUB vehicles....mind you this was years ago and long before the current war.
A better pic of the KUB-M4
