The ICAD team monitored the near-complete disappearance of Russian radars, equipment, and air defense systems from their base at Qamishli Airport in northeastern Syria, as reported in an X post by @EekadFacts between 1:15 p.m. and 1:45 p.m. UTC on January 14, 2026. The equipment was absent in recent photos compared to previous years. The fighter revealed in a message published by Verify-Sy that she and her four comrades rejected calls to surrender, vowing to fight until their last breath during ongoing clashes, according to an X post by @VeSyria in the same 29-minute window ending at 1:45 p.m. UTC today. She stated each carried a bomb and planned a group command operation if ammunition depleted, as detailed in Verify-Sy's fact-check on Asayish disclosures. No further details on the timing or reasons for the Russian equipment removal were provided in the ICAD monitoring report. The fighter's account aligns with Verify-Sy's coverage of Asayish activities in northeastern Syria.
