AMMAN, Jordan—Washington's Arab allies, disappointed with Syria peace talks, have agreed to provide rebels there with more sophisticated weaponry, including shoulder-fired missiles that can take down jets, according to Western and Arab diplomats and opposition figures.

Saudi Arabia has offered to give the opposition for the first time Chinese man-portable air defense systems, or Manpads, and antitank guided missiles from Russia, according to an Arab diplomat and several opposition figures with knowledge of the efforts. Saudi officials couldn't be reached to comment.

They are already taking down jets and helicopters, youtube is filled with all those videos.

Judging at the maintainance of those, they dont have to shoot them down. It seem Syrians are hard time keeping those remaining fighters alive becuase of spare parts.
