Principled Israel. CAA breaks through to the place of the death of the colonel in Quneitra
Details of the incident with the Syrian military aircraft in the Golan Heights appear in the Middle East media. Recall that on the eve of the Israeli air defense system, as stated by the IDF command, the fact of crossing the Israeli air borders by the Syrian means of combat was recorded aviation. The plane, according to these reports, entered Israeli airspace to a depth of 2 km, after which it was hit by two Patriot air defense missiles.
The headquarters of the Syrian troops confirm the loss of the aircraft, noting that we are talking about the Su-22М4 aircraft. This is an export version of the Su-17М4 aircraft, which was produced in the USSR in 1984-1990. Su-22М4 - the plane that is piloted by one pilot. Therefore, the initial media reports about the “unknown fate of the second pilot” can be commented by the fact that there was no “second pilot” due to the design of a combat aircraft.
However, some Lebanese sources claim that the Israelis shot down the Su-24 bomber of the Syrian air force.
At the same time, all sources agree on the data that the plane took off to perform a combat mission from the airfield T-4, which was previously repeatedly subjected to rocket attacks by the armed forces of foreign countries.
The data on the dead pilot, whose body fell into the hands of terrorists just a few kilometers from the dividing line with Israel on the Golan Heights, has been confirmed. This is the Syrian Air Force Colonel Umran Mare (Omran Marie) from Tartus. Colonel Mare was considered by the Syrian Air Force to be one of the most experienced and skillful pilots, behind whom there were numerous successful combat missions.
The Syrian command notes that the pilot performed the task of striking the positions of the terrorists of the so-called “Islamic state” (* prohibited in the Russian Federation) in the north-western corridor of the Yarmuk river basin. It was added that the plane could, for the implementation of the maneuver, enter the airspace for a few seconds over the part of the Golan that official Damascus calls the territory occupied by Israel. It does not comment on the statements of the IDF that the pilot allegedly did not respond to signals from the Israeli side to enter Israeli airspace.
A map of the military situation in the provinces of Daraa and Quneitra in the south of the Syrian Arab Republic is below.
The plane fell in the area of Sayda settlement, which is currently controlled by ISIS terrorists *. The SAA assault troops are trying to get through to this place.
It is noted that in carrying out the combat mission the aircraft did not threaten the security of Israel. But Israel decided to be principled, that the militants in the south of Syria had already appreciated, expressing enthusiasm for the precise attack of the SIRM missiles on the Syrian military aircraft.
