None
Syria's armed forces said a military jet was downed by insurgents in northern Hama province on Tuesday and the pilot killed, state television said.
Militant group Tahrir al Sham - a fighting force dominated by members of Al Qaeda's former branch in Syria - said it hit the plane.
A source said the militants were searching for another pilot they believed had survived the crash.
The western central province has seen intense aerial strikes by the Russian and Syrian air forces in the country's civil war. Dozens of civilians have been killed in the bombing of towns away from front lines in the last few weeks, according to rescue workers and witnesses.
