Reports: Plane Carrying Syrian President Bashar al-Assad Reportedly Disappears

There were reports that his destination was Moscow. Yet, it appears as if his plane has disappeared. We don’t know if this is a diversion or a case of an aircraft being misidentified. We’ll update accordingly if anything changes, but for now, it seems as if the ousted Syrian leader’s aircraft dropped off the radar and is now missing near Homs.

Interesting. It's not like Hillary taking out Kadafy or us with Saddam. Seems to be going around.

Reports on X claiming it crashed or was shot down.

Good chance there is an F-22 or F-35 with an IL-76 silhouette getting painted on the inside of the weapons bay door. Assad has caused much trouble for the United States and Israel. The Middle East would be a much better place without him. Here's hoping it will be a better place now that he is gone.

"Plane Carrying Syrian President Bashar al-Assad Reportedly Disappears"

Probably just turned off its transponders to prevent tracking.

Not that that could prevent the US or Israels from knowing where it is, but it just prevents other actors from knowing.

Precisely.
His MIL handlers would be stupid to keep the Xponder on.
It keeps the under-funded, open-source rebels from tracking him to destination.
MIL has no problem.
There are likely several nations’ AWACS up and watching.

The recorded flight path is a bit sketchy.

One pencil-neck down, one to go. No, I am not advocating for bad things to happen to pencil-necks. It just seems to be a bad time for them. I know of one bug-eyed one that appears to be especially concerned.

Most likely he ended up in Moscow or Tehran.

And it's just chatter on X. I see nothing confirmed yet.
