Israeli air defense system shot down a Syrian air force aircraft?
Reports say that the Syrian Air Force aircraft flew over the Golan Heights and entered, by approximately 1-2 km, airspace over the territory that Israel considers its own. On the plane (stated that this is one of the modifications of Su), two missiles were fired.
Syrian sources do not say that the plane was shot down, as there is no information about whether he reached the military base.
At the same time, the AFP news agency, citing the IDF command, reports that the SAR Air Force aircraft was shot down.
It is stated that the air-raid sirens worked in northern Israel around 13: 45 local time. Locals filmed footage of missile launches.
To date, the IDF confirms the attack on the Syrian aircraft, but it does not publish information that it fell. The wording is used: the plane was "intercepted". His specific model, in addition to the name itself - Su, is also not called. The Syrian air force is armed with Su-22, Su-24 (from Sukhoi technology).
In Damascus, these statements leave no comment. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet published any comments.
