<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yesterday, a SyAAF <i>MiG-21bis</i> from No. 679 squadron operating from Hama AB and piloted by Col. Mohammad Sawfan "العقيد محمد صوفان" was shot down by rebels and subsequently crashed in Turkish territory nearby the borders; the pilot in question has successfully ejected but been arrested and taken to a hospital in Antakya.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The <i>Fishbed </i>pilot whom was suspended from flight some years back, was returned to service recently; it's believed this was his first sortie after suspension.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A recording for the last conversation between the pilot and the GC I received, clearly shows the pilot was dis-oriented due to a technical failure malfunctioned the compass first then the whole navigation system. After that the pilot couldn't recognize his way back to base -as requested by the GC- which put him under range of AAA of Ahrar Al-Sham rebels.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last Sunday, 8th Jan.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">New video published by ISIS videoed from the south western part of the T4 airbase and shows how close the ISIS fighters got.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">MiG-25s are scattered everywhere around the airfield as can be seen in aerial imageris, may be 2 or 4 PDS interceptors are still air worthy while the others has been decommissioned since years.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The maintenance hangars are in sight and could be an easy target to ISIS fire; SyAAF shouldn't worries about whether Su-22M-4s and Su-24M2s are inside but for the Gazelles which are housed in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's good to mention that the south western HASes in this airbase house the Su-22M-4 squadron.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today, a SyAAF <i>MiG-23</i> operating from Sh'eirat AB and piloted by Col. Thabet Ismail (العقيد ثابت اسماعيل) is reported crashed in Hayyan field in eastern rural of Homs governorate; the pilot ejected and was recovered.</span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pro-regime media refers the incident to a "Technical Failure" while ISIS are claiming the shot down. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's good to mention the aircraft in question should be either <i>MLD (23-18) </i>or <i>MLD (23-22) </i>as both variants operate from this airfield.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On 21st this month, a SyAAF aircraft -announced a <i>MiG-23</i> but variant is still a mystery- is reported shot down by ISIS fighters in Qalamoun in Batra area.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The pilot -as named Ltnt. Col.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From the <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">insurgents </span>side, it's <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">said the aircraft in question is a <i>MiG</i><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>-23BN</i> operating from No. 697 sqdn from Seen AB<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> and the exchanged pilot<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> is</span> </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lt.

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyway, this incident IMO lacks many details and need further verification.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Today, ISIS fighters succeeded to shoot down a SyAAF <i>MiG-21</i> piloted by Col. Ali Hamza "العقيد علي حمزة" which crashed at Al-Thardah mount area near Deir EzZour AB, the pilot is KIA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The aircraft is supposed to be operating from Qamishli airport which recently witnessed the deployment of numbers of <i>Su-22</i>, <i>MiG-21</i> in addition to <i>Mi-17</i> helicopters.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yesterday, 4th Sep. 2016, a SyAAF <i>L-39 </i>-I suspect it's <i>ZO</i> but cannot confirm- piloted by Captain Ali Farhan Ghanem "النقيب علي فرحان غانم" has crashed nearby Sadad town (around 50km to the south of Homs city). This brings in mind that the aircraft in question should be operating from Sheirat AB which recently housed number of <i>L-39</i>s at the eastern side of the airfield.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Again it's not confirmed whether the jet was downed by means of ground fire or countered a tech. failure caused this incident; the pilot is KIA.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yesterday 2nd Sep. 2016, a SyAAF <i>SA 342 Gazelle</i> helicopter piloted by Col. Mohammad Ali Habib "العقيد محمد علي حبيب" and Major Alaa' Ahmad Dayyoub (or Deeb) "الرائد علاء أحمد ديوب أو ديب" was targeted and successfully hit by a TOW ATGM while the helo was patrolling nearby Al-Khattab village to the north of Hama city; both pilots were KIA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since Hama AB didn't house any Gazelle during the last short period, I can suspect the Gazelle was operating from Stamo newly established airbase.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This incident -footage can be seen in this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8YIjFKTMUk" target="_blank">VIDEO</a>- reminds me of a similar one when a SyAAF <i>Mi-8</i> was targeted by an ATGM when approaching to land at Abu DhHoor AB on 8th Sep. 2014.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FWASiZmquH8/V53GonlUTJI/AAAAAAAAEBk/pamWnBsMhPwx4g_zglh23r7mQ9iboKigQCLcB/s1600/02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FWASiZmquH8/V53GonlUTJI/AAAAAAAAEBk/pamWnBsMhPwx4g_zglh23r7mQ9iboKigQCLcB/s640/02.jpg" width="428" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Few days back, TS (Terraserver) has published new aerial imagery for Kshesh airbase which was overrun by opposition on 13th Feb. 2013 and then was controlled by Jaish Al Islam. The imagery here is dated 26th Jun. 2016 in which we can see the mass chaos occurred to facilities of the air field; thus, I provided an earlier view of the same location dated Sep. 2010 for better comparison. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ovQdsp_fBiU/V53GoTgG8DI/AAAAAAAAEBg/7pGLRUo8Pao1cpikPhrbOff9w53oFlmrgCLcB/s1600/03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ovQdsp_fBiU/V53GoTgG8DI/AAAAAAAAEBg/7pGLRUo8Pao1cpikPhrbOff9w53oFlmrgCLcB/s640/03.jpg" width="428" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first thing can be observed from these views is how JAI worked to shovel the soil which covers the HASes (Hardened Aircraft Shelters) and left them exposed to the concrete structure. I won't be surprised if JAI filled the HAS with soil then after...</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2hd-6I7ouDI/V53GooWvxVI/AAAAAAAAEBo/2Zw7XmyZRXsr4Lm6cl2rrYT-tnrSSI0DACLcB/s1600/04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2hd-6I7ouDI/V53GooWvxVI/AAAAAAAAEBo/2Zw7XmyZRXsr4Lm6cl2rrYT-tnrSSI0DACLcB/s640/04.jpg" width="428" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Around Fourteen <i>MiG-15/17</i>s were shifted from the boneyard. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j0a2iKi7tXo/V53GpO0YMMI/AAAAAAAAEBs/01RZ8mMgeRUCxlhpqUuGEAYRu3VNYnV5gCLcB/s1600/05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j0a2iKi7tXo/V53GpO0YMMI/AAAAAAAAEBs/01RZ8mMgeRUCxlhpqUuGEAYRu3VNYnV5gCLcB/s640/05.jpg" width="428" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In addition to form obstacles all along the runways, those <i>MiG-15/17</i>s are scattered here and there as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-whzTc1vyeDU/V53FnjXH-6I/AAAAAAAAEBU/pBTLIicx2zUMbeVECItXbO_Jw7q8aaAkACEw/s1600/01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-whzTc1vyeDU/V53FnjXH-6I/AAAAAAAAEBU/pBTLIicx2zUMbeVECItXbO_Jw7q8aaAkACEw/s640/01.jpg" width="428" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A phenomenon really surprised me and then I linked it to another view I observed in Abu DhHoor AB is what is valuable in the wings of decommissioned <i>L-29</i>s to make JAI strip them from the airframes as can be seen above!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The same happened in Abu DhHoor AB, the <i>MiG-23</i>s can be clearly seen (below) stripped from their wings (those airframes in the eastern part of boneyard).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is reported yesterday 29th July by pro-regime sources that the pilot Major Mohammad Suleiman Ismail "الرائد محمد سليمان اسماعيل" whom was flying a <i>MiG-23ML </i>took off from Nasriyeh AB had died when his fighter hit the ground in Qalamoun mounts area.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Despite claims of shooting down the aircraft by ISIS but the real reason is a phenomen<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">on</span> most of non experienced pilots suffers from which is called the "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_disorientation" target="_blank">Spatial Disorientation</a>" as the pilot in question was performing a night flight in order to get him ready for non-day-time sorties.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is good to mention here that since 2015 Nasriyeh AB is housing only MiG-23ML after detaching all <i>MiG-23BN</i>s to Dmeir AB and Seen AB.</span></div>

explosions took place yesterday midnight; but it is good to mention
that tarmac of helicopter next to plants recently used to house at least
2~3 <i>Mi-8/17 </i>in addition to </span><i>Mi-25</i>s with serials 2800, 2841 and 2856.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some sources
refers the reason behind this incident to the failure of taking off of
one helicopter which was over heavy exploded on tarmac and resulted of
burning all the other aircraft there.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Two days back, a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zM3XsY8CO4" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">VIDEO </span></a>was published showing the wreckage of a SyAAF helicopter said to be shot down on 14th July 2016 near Al-Baytariyeh town which is located in the eastern rural of Damascus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I cannot tell this is a newly shot down helicopter at the above mentioned date because first of all it is a <i>Mi-25 </i>helicopter, so it might be that one shot down on 1st July 2016 and just recently some public discovered the crash site.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Secondly, no footage was published for the interception nor for fighters inspecting the wreckage taking into account that a MANPAD hit will result in bringing down an aircraft no further than 5km from the launch site, so finding and covering the crash site is a piece of cake after all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last, I didn't find any pro-regime page/individual talking or mentioning a "martyr" pilot/crew within the last few days but only that pilot of the <i>MiG-21 </i>crashed few days back in Deir EzZour.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Update: </b>Thanks for heads up from Gerard & Milos (ACIG). The rotar blades belong for sure for a <i>Mi-8/17</i>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Then, I'm not sure of the possibility of mounting such blades to <i>Mi-25 </i>under any circumstances, but providing the boom belongs with no doubts to a <i>Mi-25 </i>this puts us in front of a possibility that the crashed helicopter is truly a <i>Mi-8/17 </i>was transferring components of <i>Mi-25</i> -boom among them- from an airbase to another.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Talking about a <i>Hind </i>needs maintenance and replacement of specific parts, this reminds me of the incident of intercepting a SyAAF helicopter by JAI SA-8 (Osa) over Eastern Ghouta on 27th June 2016 which forced the hit <i>Mi-25 </i>-as confirmed by my source- to perform an emergency landing at an airport -should be Damascus IAP.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today, a SyAAF <i>MiG-21 </i>could be operating from either Deir EzZour AB or even from Qamishli airport is crashed near Deir EzZour city resulting on the death of pilot <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Col. Maher Kash'oor "<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">العقيد ماهر جابر قشعور" </span></span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is not confirmed as well whether the jet has crashed due to a technical failure -as know, Soviet jets becomes less efficient in hot weather especially that area is witnessing 45+ degrees temperature these days- or shot down by ISIS as claimed by their media. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Footage of crash site can be seen in this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIv5O4eTRY4" target="_blank">VIDEO</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's simply incredible how </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">SyAAF is bleeding units and pilots! Today and just few hours after the crash of <i>Su-22M-3 </i>in Qalamoon mounts, a SyAAF <i>Mi-25 </i>operating from Blai AB and piloted by General Muhammad Badr Mahmoud "اللواء محمد بدر محمود" and Captain Zein Nayef Khalloof "النقيب زين نايف خلوف" has been shot down by opposition MANPAD in Jurud Al-Qalamoun resulting in the death of both pilots.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Apparently, a third crew (technician) Col. Adnan Munir Al-Salem was onboard has died as well.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
