Again, the Syrian MiG-25 made its second appearance yesterday 27th March over the same area 60km to the west of T4 AFB the main home base of this aircraft.
From the footage of the video, it looks that this MiG-25 had attacked a target by dropping bombs which leads to a conclusion that this is an RB variant!! But, surprisingly, I was informed later on that an aircraft had launched two missiles/rockets from a considerably long distance then climbed again with intensive black smoke behind generated from two engines...I doubt the MiG-29 is carrying out ground attack sorties over this area as well which witnessed the use of Su-24MK and Su-22M since 2012.
Before the Syrian uprising, the RB variant used to fly mainly from T4 AFB (with regular detachment to Seen AFB), while the R was based in Dmair AFB.
BTW, I published this post here to draw the attention that the first appearance of the Syrian MiG-25 was not such a normal event, seeing this aircraft again would confirm that it is air worthy and an area(s) is assigned for this aircraft to take care of.
