Clear footage of a Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer in action over northwestern Syria

The Syrian Arab Air Force was believed to count on 20 Su-24 Fencer aircraft at the beginning of the uprising. The aircraft, based at Tiyas, have been rarely filmed or photographed, even though they have reportedly been involved in several air strikes and operations.

Eventually someone managed to get an extremely clear footage of a SyAAF Su-24 Fencer that was flying over Idlib, in northwestern Syria on Sept. 7, 2014.

By the way, can you ID the weapons the aircraft is carrying in the video?
