The airliner pilot panicked? Something is not right in that case... apart from the fact that airliners do seem to get shot down in that region

Absolutely.
iirc USAF lost 6 aircraft in the last 2 months (May/June). They seem to be competing with Indian AF in professionalism.

Perhaps you don't have a clear understanding of what the definition of the word professionalism is. But since you bring it up.....

Haha, ok USAF competing with Russian airforce in professionalism, not Indian or Iranian. That is actually not that bad, you must be proud.

I think there will be an operation to the places where Russia has withdrawn because of the Ukraine war. Iranian militias began to pour into the region. After 15 years, the foreign affairs minister will visit Israel on May 25. I think this will come to the fore. It is very sad that we are in such a situation due to domestic political reasons at a time when our interests with Israel overlap so much.

Syria plans the phased demobilization of tens of thousands of reservists from next month, a defense ministry official said, as fighting in the civil war has wound down in recent years.
“Tens of thousands will be demobilized by the end of the current year, and the same next year, while maintaining combat readiness and acting in the interests of the people,” Major General Ahmed Sleiman told Syrian state television late Wednesday.
Syria plans the phased demobilization of tens of thousands of reservists from next month, a defense ministry official said, as fighting in the civil war has wound down in recent years.
“Tens of thousands will be demobilized by the end of the current year, and the same next year, while maintaining combat readiness and acting in the interests of the people,” Major General Ahmed Sleiman told Syrian state television late Wednesday.
Reserve service will be reduced to a maximum of two years in the final phase, he added.
Sleiman said the decision aimed to “achieve an advanced army that relies on voluntary enlistment, through a new volunteer contract,” according to which anyone who has completed five years of service and does not wish to continue will be discharged.
Those who enlisted voluntarily and have served for 10 years will be exempted from all reserve service, he added.
The military has announced several demobilizations since the conflict broke out.
In a 2015 interview, President Bashar al-Assad highlighted the importance of “volunteer” fighters, without whom “the army would not have been able to hold on for four and a half years of such a difficult war.”
With support from Iran, and after Russia intervened militarily in support of the government in September 2015, al-Assad was able to regain much of the territory lost in the early years of the conflict.
A 2021 report from the European Union’s asylum agency said that “the evasion of conscription has been reported as one of the main reasons for young men over the age of 18 having fled Syria” and key obstacle to their return.
In the war’s early years, experts said a combination of casualties, defections and draft-dodging saw the military lose half of its 300,000-strong force.
