Update:
It goes back to January 2015, when the Zionist air force used a Coalition designated coridor and entered the Syrian airspace, the launched 5 Popeye missiles at target in Syria, the Syrian air defense dealt with 3 of the missiles in the air, stopping them from reaching their target. The Syrian command via a third party notified the Coalition of certain areas where their jets will be shot down, and other areas where they are allowed to use when bombing ISIS.
March 17, 2015 an unidentified areal target entered Syrian Air. The target was then identified as an MQ-1B Predator drone, and Syrian warning radar in the region notified air defense command with the track and course of the target, like any other Coalition jet that enters the Syrian airspace, then the target headed toward Latakia passing its countryside, a region where the Syrian government have restricted from Coalition areal activity, The central air defense command gave its orders to a S-125 Neva/Pechora 2M air defense battery to shoot down the target. A single missile was fired, and hit its target to fall on a civilian building, then be recovered by SAA with no casualties on Syrian side.
The picture attached is labeled, and the labels are as following:
1- The S-125 Neva missile used, and the picture of it recovered at the site.
The remaining labeled pictures are parts recovered with the drone.
US officials admitted losing contact with a US made recon drone over Latakia, but they claimed they do not know what happened to it.
On the other hand, the Syrian Army Command didn’t comment on the incident yet, but it was confirmed by State media.
We are awaiting an official statement, and we will post it as soon as it is out.

The class and type of the aircraft was not 100% identified yet. From the look of the wreckage it is thought to be a French EADS Harfang, or a Zionist Heron. However, we will re post the accurate identification of the drone once we establish that.
Awaiting an official statement from the Syrian Arab Army Command, or Syrian government.
