Su-24M in Syria being flown back to Russia

This photo shows a Su-24M being prepared for transport back to Russia in an An-124. The number of stars in the front section shows that it has carried out +700 missions in Syria. This very same aircraft was shown in Charly015's blog back in March 2016. By then it had ~330 missions.

Some have wondered why the Fencer is being flown instead of flying by itself. In my opinion it could be because it has exhausted its number of flight hours/landings. It could also be caused by a technical problem.
