Who is supplying the weapons?
Who supplied the tank and how did it get into Syria? Small arms are not too difficult to smuggle but tanks

The tanks most likely were frkm the Syrian Army. Many weapons are already available in the country, and the rest are flowing in from all land borders, sea and air, and are clming from many possible sources. This is the proxy war center of the world, take a wild guess on who is sending weapons, and most likely it will be correct.
