A Syrian jet bomber crashed just after take-off from Syria&#39;s Hama airport after it encountered a technical problem, a Syrian military source said on Sunday. 
 
The military source, quoted by Syrian state media, did not say when the crash had occurred or provide any other details. 
 
Several Russian-manufactured warplanes have crashed since the start of the year, mostly due to technical failures which defence analysts have generally attributed to age. 
 
A rebel source told Reuters the plane that crashed was a Russian Mig 21 fighter but this could not be independently verified.
