Claim: Visuals of an aircraft crash event that was carrying Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Fact-check: The visuals of an IAF aircraft crash falsely shared as the crash of Bashar al-Assad's aircraft - FACTLY
Verdict: the visuals in the video show the incident on 02 september 2024, when a mig-29 fighter jet of the indian air force  crashed in barmer, rajasthan, during a routine training mission. the flight was owned by the indian air force, and the crash was caused by a technical snag. the pilot ejected safely. the visuals have nothing to do with syria. though there have been unconfirmed reports about a flight from syria disappearing from the radar, there is no definitive information whether bashar al-assad was in the flight. hence the claim is false.
