Activists and Rebels Report Overflight of Russian Jets in Idlib and Hama

Media activists and rebels in the Idlib and Hama region reported the overflight of “Russian aviation” in the “Idlib and Hama countryside” on October 2. Three videos, posted at approximately the same time, showed two jets flying in formation. Russia has reportedly carried out a number of strikes in Hama and Homs in recent days, according to reports by the Russian defence ministry, state media, and local activists.

Storyful are unable to confirm if the jets are Russian, though Syrian Air Force jets do not regularly fly in formation. Credit: 1. YouTube/Jabhat al-Sham || 2. Facebook/Ahmed Khanoos
