Last night, ‘moderate’ jihadists downed a L-39 Albatros jet (military trainer aircraft/light ground-attack aircraft) belonging to the Syrian Arab Air Force over the Syrian city of Aleppo.
The L-39 Albatros was conducting air raids against militant targets in the area between Aleppo Citadel and the National Eye Hospital when it was hit from the ground.
Both pilots died in the crash.
