Unknown persons tried to shoot down a Russian drone from MANPADS in Syria

On social networks, there is a discussion that unknown persons tried to shoot down a Russian drone from a MANPADS in Syria. Allegedly, the missile defense system was fired at the UAV when it was carrying out a reconnaissance mission over the province of Idlib.


- it is said in the message of sources.



It is not difficult to guess that this information was spread by opponents of the official government of the SAR. As proof, they published an obscure snapshot, from which it is generally difficult to determine what is happening on it.


Note that not only UAVs of the Russian Aerospace Forces, but also Iran, USA, Great Britain, France, Turkey and Israel are constantly present or periodically appear in the Syrian sky. In addition, the jihadists themselves, like official Damascus, also have drones.

One more strange detail is noteworthy. The message says that only one missile defense system was fired at the UAV, and in the picture we see two points.

We remind you that at the beginning of August, the irreconcilable jihadists stated from Syria, in the sky in the west of Aleppo province, a Russian UAV of unknown design was shot down, which allegedly was adjusting the fire of the Syrian artillery at the "opposition" in the Idlib de-escalation zone.
