First Images of Predator Downed Over Syria

Charred wreckage emerges of the American UAS shot down by Syrian military near Assad’s stronghold. The burned metal and mangled electronics in these images could belong to the first American aircraft to go down in Syria since the U.S. began airstrikes on ISIS inside the country.

U.S. officials said military controllers lost contact with the MQ-1 Predator at around 9.40am GMT yesterday over north-west Syria.

Syrian state media claimed the country’s air defence units shot down a U.S. surveillance aircraft in the same area.

Pictures from the alleged crash site show men in military gear posing with the wreckage, a building severely damaged by a possible falling part and electronic hardware belonging to the company that makes the MQ-1.
