Syrian warbird crashes on takeoff in Hama
[AlArabiya] A Syrian jet bomber crashed just after take-off from Syria's Hama airport after it encountered a technical problem, a Syrian military source said on Sunday.The military source, quoted by Syrian state media, did not say when the crash had occurred or provide any other details. Several Russian-manufactured warplanes have crashed since the start of the year, mostly due to technical failures which defense analysts have generally attributed to age. A rebel source told Reuters the plane that crashed was a Russian Mig 21 fighter but this could not be independently verified. Posted by: badanov 2016-06-20 |
