Flight path of a plane that took off from Damascus shorty after news broke that Assad left the city towards unknown destination, which might have been Latakia on Syrian coast which is still under SAA control as of now. Terrain in place where flightradar stopped tracking that plane isn’t especially suited for emergency landing
Shortly after crash Syrian Army Command informs officers about fall of the regime https://xcancel.com/Alhadath_Brk/status/1865587913817305454#m
update: it’s not spoofed transponder data or controlled landing, locals reported plane crash in the area. rumors so far, but dawn will break soon in Syria and we’ll know https://xcancel.com/Schizointel/status/1865593800678130081#m
clarification: there’s some chance that Assad went out of Damascus before on other, private jet, so it’s not sure and it’s all conjecture on unproven information
update 2: there’s a claim by Russian media that Assad is in Moscow, so he would have to flee on some earlier plane, but no photos as of now. Still, looked mildly credible at the time
I did hear it here first, you’re right.
No, I heard it first here.
We heard it here first, comrade.
I didn’t. OP is wrong.
Well you did hear it here first. It’s just it wasn’t true.
No, I didn’t hear it here first!
One of the rare cases where I hear of a death and check wikipedia to still see the word “is”. I wonder how long confirmation will take.
There may be no changes on the article yet, but there’s a lot of ongoing discussion at the Discussion page of the article:
German Wikipedia already has past tense and a small paragraph about Assad leaving the country for an unknown location.
Is it sourced properly? Because killing people on wikipedia without sources isn’t helping wikipedia’s credibility.
At least the current version of the article uses past tense when referring to his presidency but doesn’t claim he’s dead.
Russia claim he’s already in Russia, but I’ve seen no footage of him yet. It’s entirely possible he’s in the wreckage.
Brother delet this
nah
it seemed plausible when it happened. i still think it’s likely that that plane crashed, there’s a red dot on FIRMS map for 8.12 around that area that wasn’t there before or after
I hope to see trump flee to Russia one day.
I hope he doesn’t get the chance to abscond and is held accountable for his crimes. Not likely to happen but one can dream.
Yeah but planes tend to fall out of the sky for no reason around there
No! No. No-no-no. Take him and Putin as a gift. Volodin says Putin is national treasure.
Good example of why you don’t trust internet “journalism.”
It’s just a rumour until you get confirmation from the AP. People tend to think the mainstream media is hiding things, but it’s usually down to them not publishing unconfirmed rumours while the internet will. And here’s an example of why that is. Many of these things wind up being false. It’s better to hear about what actually happened two days later than spend time forming opinions about what might have happened right now.
you don’t have to get AP article for every claim, but it helps. if you can get geolocated footage, that’s still a bit better than just rumors, many of these maps work this way. this time a few things were missing

Lmao do you know where you are??? This is NCD, I have recklessly violent opinions over shit that only exists in my head.
*camera pans warthunder arguing over about millimeters of handrail on a 20 year old tank *
You’re giving journalists way to much credit. The Pulitzer Prize was named after a man who started the Spanish American war by making shit up.
BBC article mentioning this flight. A tweet from FR24 says that the aircraft “was old with an older transponder generation, so some data might be bad or missing”, that it was “flying in an area of GPS jamming, so some data might be bad”, and that there was not aware of any airports in the area where the signal was lost.
Holy fuck lol. I sorta called it.
well it still could have been friendly fire
I didn’t say that it would be insurgent fire.
Just that Weak Chin MaGee would be shot down.

Yes, these are very credible desires that will happen!
Curious if this is just another straw, or maybe enough to motivate Russian citizens to start dealing with all this hay.
You know when NCD has actual writeups and citations shit is getting real. Getting Wagner coup vibes, what a time to be alive where we can glimpse into the sausage of geopolitics being made in real time.
Idk, it feels a little too credible for me…
Honestly guys, it’s not the first time I got breaking world news from this community and I am disappointed, I thought this was non-credible?
The funniest part is it may be days before news starts reporting he was probably on this plane. They’ll want to wait for some sort of confirmation, which probably doesn’t exist.
Yes, but to be truly non-credible, one must first poses great knowledge and insight.

n in ncd stands for news
Oh come on, its not like the rebels would have any anti aircraft systems… Other then the odd Pantsir, maybe a BUK or two. And even if they did, why would they need anything like that marching on the last stronghold of the regime? /s
Buk (TEL) lacks a radar. Pantsir or MANPADS lacks range (7km altitude give or take). Either they networked radar to Buk, or made these super old S75 work, or planted bomb onboard like with Prigozhin, or something else. It’s also possible that F35 sneaked around and took it down with A2A missile, not that we’ll ever see it
7km altitude give or take
The ADS-B data puts it as descending between 23 and 22 thousand feet. That’s below 7km.
22-23k ft would be 6.7-7km, i did only mental math at that time
this is the kind of superpower that chronic insomnia gets you

yeah this also
he was done either way as damascus was handed over few hours ago
Yea, it’s amazing how fas this can go down. Been F5ing Live UA map every few hours the last few days and almost every time there were notable changes.
This also cements Russia’s loss of their only notable Mediterranean port.
port and airbase now. and SAM site if it ends up being the cause
that would be dumbest and highest profile friendly fire ever. are we sure that Girkin wasn’t exiled to Syria?
