Part 5/8:
The fall of Hama has had consequential implications for the Syrian Army. As government troops retreated, they hastily left behind valuable military equipment, including aircraft and armored vehicles, thereby diminishing their operational capabilities. Although the rebel faction does not possess trained pilots to utilize the abandoned aircraft, their capture of ground assets like tanks signals a shift in power dynamics on the battlefield.
The capture of Hama positions rebel forces to expand their influence, likely leading to further offensives. With their newly acquired resources, they are transitioning from light vehicles to more formidable armored units, signaling an ominous trend for the government side.
