1569 MiG-21MF in Tabqa AFB

First video from inside Tabqa AFB to come to public !! It's true it is leaked, but finally it is our pleasure to welcome more of such kind ;).

The video represents a phased-out SyAAF MiG-21MF carries the serial 1569 enriching our photo archive for Syrian aircraft units with serials.

 

 

SyAAF MiG-23BN Over Damascus - Part II

SyAAF MiG-23BN photographed the moment it dropped a FAB bomb over Erbeen on 21st April, 2014.
 

A stunning side shut for a BN spotted over Mleha on 1st May, 2014.
 

Another BN accelerating and climbing over Mleha after a ground attack sortie on 18th April, 2014.
 

Another BN, the same day.
 

This one was spotted on 24th May, 2014 also over Mleha.

SyAAF MiG-23BN Over Damascus - Part I

Some photos for SyAAF MiG-23BN's spotted during the Syrian Army offensive against rebels in Damascus Eastern Ghouta towns (namely Mleha) in which this bomber played the main role in ground attack raids, as some days recorded more than 30 sorties for this type of aircraft.
A photo above for a Syrian MiG-23BN spotted on 12th May, 2014 on its way back to base (should be Nasriyeh AFB).

Bottom view for a BN after a raid over Mleha on 6th May, 2014.
 

 

Another MiG-23BN dropping a FAB-250 bomb over Mleha on 8th June, 2014.

 

This raid is dated 19th April, 2014.
 

A very low pass performed by a Syrian MiG-23BN over Mleha town on 27th May, 2014.

SyAAF L-39 Albatros - Updated IV

The most beautiful still for SyAAF units ever! The aerobatic team represented by L-39's passing over Rasm Al Abboud (Kweres) AFB sometime in early 2000's. 

It's abnormal to see a Syrian Albatros had its fin tip tinted in Red. This armed L-39ZO carries the number 2052.

A 2007 dated 'Selfie' taken in Kshesh (Jarrah) AFB shows an L-39ZO with serial 2060.

A still in Kweres airbase shows row of L-39ZO's on the secondary western tarmac, one of which carries the serial 2096.

Again in Kweres airbase, a still shows an L-39ZA carries the serial 2127 and fitted with FAB-100 bombs.

This looks as well in Kweres AFB.

Row of L-39's in Neyrab airbase on tarmac infront of the overhaul facility, these Albatroses carried out extensive sorties over Aleppo area last year. Note the fin of the MiG-23MLD to the far left of the photo.

Photos of SyAAF MiG-21s - Updated III

 

Unique and for the first time a stunning photo for a SyAAF MiG-21bis carries a serial starts with 22xx ready to scramble inside a HAS fitted with four AA-2 air-to-air missiles (variant is not clear whether R or M).

 

 
A SyAAF MiG-21bis spotted maneuvering over Erbeen town in the Eastern Ghouta of Damascus on 20th Nov. 2012.

 
Another bis spotted flying over Mleha town on 26th May 2014 during the Syrian Army offensive at that area.

 
The next day as well, 27th another bis was spotted.

 
Group of various variants of MiG-21's phased out in Deir EzZour AFB. The one on Tarmac looks the only operational one.

 
Amazing shot for a Syrian MiG-21bis dispensing flares over Eastern Ghouta towns on 12th May 2014.

Another shot for the same here, as it looks fitted with S-24 air-to-surface missiles.
 

I'll end this post here with a wonderful still of a SyAAF MiG-21bis seconds after it left the runway of Dmair AFB fitted with four FAB-100 bombs. The serial looks like 2241.

SyAAF MiG-23MLD in Action!

(Source: Lens Haidar Razoq)

A valuable photo I could find on web during my daily search for SyAAF stuff, the first appearance of a SyAAF MiG-23MLD flying over Syria!
This MLD was spotted flying over Al-Zara town (Homs governorate) on 7th March, 2014 during the Syrian Army offensive to retake Qal'at Al Hosn 'Krak des Chevaliers' area earlier this year.
 

(Source: Internet)

The MLD -externally- is famous -and special- with its original chaff/flares dispensers mounted over wing roots at both sides as shown in the profile above.
 

The same profile is blackened here and compared to the photo of the Syrian MiG-23 that confirms it is one of the 33 ex-Belarusian MLD's delivered to Syria on 2009.
