Bashar al-Assad's escape from Damascus was accompanied by news of the disappearance of an IL-76T aircraft with the Syrian dictator on board from monitoring radar, which was allegedly caused by a shootdown or plane crash.
According to the available data, the aggressor state, russia, used this disinformation to cover up its operation to rescue the Syrian leader and a limited number of people close to him.
The loss of Assad's plane's radar signal is likely due to the actions of the crew, who were following the instructions of the russians and flying under their direction.
Meanwhile, the situation of the russian contingent in Syria is consistently tricky and dire; the remnants of the aggressor state's group continue to pack up and leave by sea and air hastily.
The first to flee were the “bigwigs” of the russian army. In particular, following General sergey kisely's failure, the newly appointed commander of the russian troops in Syria, General alexander chaiko, left the territory of the Middle Eastern country after being in command for a week.
To remove the remnants of their weapons, equipment, and personnel, the russians engaged additional ships, including those from the aggressor's Baltic fleet.
