Russian Su-25 jet downed in Syria, pilot killed – Defense Ministry

A Russian Su-25 jet has crashed in Idlib province in north-western Syria, the Russian Defence Ministry confirmed, adding that it was probably shot down by MANPAD. The pilot ejected but was killed by militants on the ground.

Preliminary data showed the Su-25 plane was downed by a man-portable air-defense system (MANPAD), the ministry said in a statement on Saturday.

The attack took place when the jet was flying over the Idlib de-escalation zone on Saturday. The pilot parachuted down into the area controlled by Al-Nusra terrorist group, the statement said.

He was killed during a confrontation with the militants from an unspecified group.

Координатор группы дружбы парламента Сирии и Госдумы, первый зампредседателя организации ветеранов «Боевое братство» Дмитрий Саблин со ссылкой на свои источники раскрыл информацию о предполагаемом происхождении ПЗРК, из которого был сбит российский штурмовик.


«Есть информация, что ПЗРК, которым был сбит наш самолёт, несколько дней назад завезли в Сирию из сопредельного государства, — заявил Саблин. — Страны, с территории которых сюда приходит оружие для того, чтобы быть направленным против российских военных, должны понимать, что это не останется безнаказанным».
