Before the fall, the pilot managed to catapult, but was immediately captured. The Syrian Monitoring Center prepared a short report on the incident. The plane was defeated during the flight, then caught fire. The Russian General Staff has not yet commented on the loss of the fighter over the Maasran area.

The photo of the shot down plane was published by the grouping of the Syrian Free Army "Jaysh an-nash".
