If the pilot bailed out I would expect evidence to be found. I’m guessing it was a drone. Key word here is “guessing”.

"Erdal Ata, the governor of Hatay, said gendarmerie and medical teams have reached the wreckage of the Syrian plane and that no one was in the cockpit. Yıldırım said that “the cause of the crash is not yet clear.." ?? Nobody flying the plane seems to be a clear cause.
