InformNapalm has conducted an\u00a0in-depth investigation and disclosed the data about\u00a0the Russian pilots who bombed Syrian towns.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A number of\u00a0foreign and Turkish media with reference to MFA of Turkey reported today, on October 5, that the Russian military aircraft\u00a0violated its air space near Yaylada\u011f\u0131 (Hatay province) at 12:08 on October 3. The warplane left the Turkish air space and headed towards Syria when two F-16 fighters scrambled to intercept it.<\/p>\n

During the monitoring and analysis of the photos and videos\u00a0of the Russian aircrafts which take part in the military operation in Syria,\u00a0the analysts of the InformNapalm international volunteer team<\/a>\u00a0assumed that the\u00a0air intrusion near Yaylada\u011f\u0131 was made by a Su-24M bomber. The warplanes of this type are periodically noticed conducting airstrikes near the border of Turkey these days.<\/p>\n

For example, you can see Su-24M bombers in the video from October 4 showing an airstrike on Salma. Please note that Syrian Salma is located just 23 km far from the Turkish\u00a0Yaylada\u011f\u0131, and just in 12-18 km from the Syrian-Turkish border.<\/p>\n

Besides that, thanks to Murad Gazdiev<\/a>, a RT reporter, we were able to disclose the following data which allowed us to identify the aircraft and crew which conducted the airstrikes on the Syrian towns.<\/p>\n

\"\u0441\u04433\"<\/a>PHOTO: A picture of the Russian Su-24M before take off on October 4, 2015. You can see the external fuel tank and Kh-25ML air-to-ground missile (NATO reporting name: AS-10 ‘Karen’).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Let’s highlight\u00a0the following features of the photo and the gathered information:<\/p>\n

Su-24M with side number “white 04” (tail number RF-90943) is in service of the 6980th guards aviation base of the 1st class (military unit No. 69806, Chelyabinsk, Russia), the air group is based on the Shagol airfield.\u00a0The wing commander – captain Savin Aleksei Anatolievich, flight navigator –\u00a0Krivolapov Konstantin \u00a0Vladimirovich.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next video shows Su-24M with “white 04” after the\u00a0flight – the Kh-25ML is missing, apparently it has been launched. Here is the video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0external fuel tanks of Su-24ML warplanes can be clearly seen in\u00a0another video<\/a> of the airstrike on Salma. The moment of firing of two missiles can be spotted at 0:21 – that confirms the version that\u00a0the airstrike was carried out by\u00a0this particular “white 04” aircraft.<\/p>\n

Note. <\/strong><\/em>The analysis involved also other videos of\u00a0the Russian\u00a0airstrikes in Syria on October 4, 2015.\u00a0A list of links to the video:<\/p>\n
