Did the plane Assad was on really crash, or was it a planned escape?

A social media post by Ali Yahya shows flight tracking data and satellite maps of Syria. The plane, an Ilyushin-76 with registration YK-ATA and flight RB9218, is depicted flying a looping path around the city of Homs before heading back toward it. The overlaid Arabic text and its English translation describe the plane's unusual flight pattern and question if it's preparing for a shootdown. The maps show the flight path as a blue line circling Homs, with a red circle highlighting the plane's position near the city.
