The Syrian Air Defense Forces have downed an Israeli reconnaissance drone in the province of Al-Quneitra in southwestern Syria, the al-Manar TV channel linked with Hezbollah reported on March 20 and released photos of the Israeli-made Skylark drone.
The Israeli Defense Ministry confirmed that it had lost the drone in Syria. According to Israeli sources, the Israeli military is investigating the incident and believes that the crash could the result of technical failure.
“The unmanned aerial vehicle, known in Hebrew as Rochev Shamayim, or Sky Rider, in the IDF, isn’t considered to be technologically advanced, and the army stressed that its crash has no security ramifications,” the Israeli Haaretz newspaper reported.
However, a majority of pro-Israeli sources ignored the possibility that the Skylark had been jammed by Syrian troops.

looks like new. i think its technical failure not anti aircraft missile or gun hit this.
Yea doesnt look like theres much if any damage to it, Maybe SAA hacked it!
It would be a laugh if they did.
The most probably it has been hacked. Technical failure would render UAV uncontrollable and it would crash. Nice job keep it up.This toy is a part of current jihadi offensive in Damascus and Daraa masterminded and coordinated by Israhell hence Israhelli drone involvement .
This is Israeli terrorists state technology failure. Israel have also developed SAM air defence missile system, which is just a fire works and is another technology failure.
Israeli terrorists state just uses spies in nearest countries to tell them that where is the target and how to reach to the target away from Syrian air defence SAM missile systems.
i’ll be damned if israeli spies aren’t merged with all the jihadist groups in syria.
Since the incident has been reported by Lebanese’s source close to Hezbollah it may be indicative of Iranian involvement.
