When I see an ISIS/ISIL/Daech rebel with an AK-47 should I assume they got it from Turkey?
You are perfectly right giving AK-47 as an example. No intent to blame Turkey, at least from me. Could be simply dropped by the Syrian (governmental) army when they were running away from Daesh. Also black market for such things work, as they are quite compact and good for transportation. Ukraine had these mortars, Hungary even got a manufacturing license. Not so important anyway where they came from. The main idiots are those commanders of that airbase/camp who were/are not keeping planes in HAS or PAS.
