The Syrian Arab air force lost a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23B (also a version of Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23BN), which was supposed to be shot down and crashed into the Qalamon mountains. The pilot, Colonel Nader Ramadan, was killed. The shoot-down is claimed by the Jaysh al-Islam group, but it lists the type of aircraft as Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29.
