SyAAF MiG-21 Shot Down Over Al-Raqqa (2014-09-16)

 
 
Today, ISIS could down a SyAAF aircraft -looks to be a MiG-21- over Al-Hsewa area 'الحصيوة' to the west of Al-Raqqa city while carrying out attack sortie there. It's still unknown whether the aircraft was damaged by AA gun fire or by a MANPAD.
I collected some photos for the wreckage which resulted in killing 8 civilians upon crashing over their houses.

      You are right, it's a MiG-21, for a while I thought the part in the first photo the reversible wing of a Su-22, but actually, it is the Rudder!!

    If you look at the last video. the blast pattern looks more like an explosive device that was on the ground.
    very symetric. if you google crash sites they dont look like that. I think its a fake. IS propaganda!
