Footage of abandoned MiG-23 fighters of the Syrian Air Force has been published. After the change of power in Syria, Syrian MiG-23 fighters and Soviet-made Su-24 bombers were abandoned. Judging by the video, there is no security at the airbase, and bombs and other aircraft weapons were also abandoned. MiG-23 fighters were produced in the USSR from 1969 to 1985, Su-24 bombers from 1967 to 1993. The Russian Air Force currently uses modifications of the Su-24M2 and Su-24MR bombers.

"This special footage obtained by Al Arabiya shows the moment Russian forces returned to Hmeimim military airport after 10 hours of waiting in front of the Russian base."

I suppose the rare few still around, and the more rarest ones still able to fly, could be reconverted as recon planes, if they are looking at meaningful upgrades.

Though keeping them as good old CAS assets is also better than nothing.

I wouldn't worry too much about old fighter jets falling into the hands of Al-Qaeda. The IDF didn't feel it was worth blowing up and then the clean-up crew arrives.
