A Syrian Su-22 fighter jet has been shot down by a surface-to-air missile in Aleppo Province, Syrian state TV reported, adding that the pilot ejected
The Syrian Army has confirmed that an Su-22 jet was downed near Aleppo, an army representative told RIA Novosti.
The pilot of the downed plane has been taken by Al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front to one of its bases, according to a rebel source cited by Reuters.
Video has surfaced on social media reportedly showing the moment of the pilot’s capture.
Photos supposedly showing the pilot have also appeared, the comments suggesting he is alive.
The ceasefire in Syria was introduced on February 27. It doesn’t apply to Islamic State (Daesh, IS, ISIS/ISIL), Al-Nusra Front and other organizations designated by the UN’s Security Council as ‘terrorists’. The cessation of hostilities deal has been struck by the Russian ceasefire center at the Khmeimim Airbase in Latakia province, and the US coordination center in Amman in Jordan.
On March 14, Russia announced that it was withdrawing the majority of its forces from Syria, as the five-month operation neared its goals.
A total of 97 armed groups operating in Syria have agreed to the ceasefire. Both IS and Al-Nusra Front jihadists have been intensifying their military action in Syria recently, especially in Aleppo province. The ceasefire has been violated at least 250 times since it began, the head of the Russian center in Khmeimim, Sergey Kuralenko, said late last month.

I havent seen any reports of this on western media.They usually take great delight in any Syrian setback.Also I dont understand why you have shown many disturbing images of the same shooting of one of your own people.
If not been given much visibility to this fact it is perhaps because the plane was shot down with sophisticated American weapons, which they delivered to terrorist gangs.
We published these pictures for exactly the same reason: to let everyone know that American-made weapons, destined to the US military, are provided by the US-NATO alliance to the international terrorism.
“He is Syrian”. Of course he is and he is in Syria defending his contry!
What is preventIng the Syrian Army from liberating Aleppo all this while? They are leaving the Terrorists to arm themselves to shoot down their Planes before they act?
There are whole areas whose population is used as human shield, and we are talking about hundreds of thousands of people
