Claim

A member of Bashar al-Assad's parliament, known as "Fares al-Shihabi", shared on his Twitter account today, a picture of a soldier wearing a military uniform standing on the wreckage of a missile and another one in front of him.

Al-Shihabi wondered in his tweet about the reason of these "smart" and "new" missiles achieving their purposes in Syria, referring to those missiles which the American president, Donald Trump threatened using them to target the regime sites.

During the research conducted by Verify-Sy platform about the type of missiles shown in the picture, turned out that it is not American, but Russian-made anti-aircraft missiles, of AA-6 ACRID R-40, and is likely that the army of Bashar al-Assad launched during his sites were targeted with air strikes and missiles at dawn on Saturday.
