SyAAF MiG-23BN Shot Down (2014-06-23)

 
Some photos and a video for a SyAAF MiG-23BN shot down on 23th Jun. 2014 by Al Muthanna Bin Haretha battalion in the eastern Qalamoun area to the north of Damascus.
Above a photo for the tail with the chaff/flares dispenser mounted aside. It looks each dispenser carries 14 flares.

 
The serial of this BN is 1665, and should be based in Nasriyeh AFB.

 
Remnant of front landing gear.


The pilot is KIA, some photos are available but not convenient to publish them here...

IL-76's Spotted in Syria


Let's start with an Iranian Il-76 spotted about to land in Hama AFB on 27th Feb. 2014. The serial is not readable. 


Again, an Iranian Il-76 landing in Hama AFB on 10th Mar. 2014.


Another one spotted landing in Hama AFB as well, date is unknown. This assures the importance of Hama AFB which is considered the hotspot of supplies Assad regime is receiving in the mid area of Syria then distributing them into the other bases.


A stunning shot for two Il-76's the moment the passed beside each others somewhere in the sky of Idleb and specifically over Bennesh town on 20th Dec. 2013.
They should be Russian Candid's those are sent to Syria to assist in transferring the chemical weapons.


Syrian Air Il-76 landing in Hama AFB on 28th May 2013.


Another Syrian Air Il-76 spotted in Neyrab AFB (Aleppo IAP) which was seen in many events standstills in its place for weeks before it disappeared from there in early 2014.


Closer take for the same Candid.


Also another Syrian Air Il-76 could be photographed either in Damascus IAP or in Dhmair AFB, as it was reported a month ago that such transporter is landing in Dhmair intensively the last period and up to three times a day!

SyAAF L-39's Over Homs!!



In an unprecedented incident, the SyAAF L-39's appeared for the first time flying out of their known area (Aleppo and Al-Raqqa governorates). This time over Homs city and its area as videoed above on 3rd June, after it was last seen in Neyrab AFB in November last year.



It's true that the Syrian Albatroses were never seen again after Nov. 2013, that at day time, but it's known that during Dec. 2013 until early Feb. 2014, they continued carrying out NIGHT raids over Aleppo city and its northern countryside starting most probably from Kweres airbase.



The L-39 appeared the next day 4th Jun. over Talbeeseh town which means that the L-39's did not just fly from their known bases in a tenuousness visit here. They are for sure detached either to Sh'eirat, or to Dhab'a airbase which the regime exerted all means to retake the latter from rebels.

By any means, and in order to keep them operational, the exhausted Syrian L-39's should have received a serious overhaul in their new home or at least in the maintenance facility in Hama AFB.

Another plausible thoughts come to our minds here, that the SyAAF should considered to start training new cadets after three years of combat sorties and losing tens of experienced pilots and especially Colonels, and these birds are the best for such use.
