I think it is a Foxbat too, but the shape is very blur, the smoke is coming from the engines, it is not a F-4 for sure, however both Syria and Russia claim the Syrians downed F-15s in 1981 and 1982.
If that aircraft is a Foxbat, it is the only physical evidence so far i have seen of a Foxbat downed by any nation, despite Russian sources accept a few MiG-25 have been shot downed

the US nailed a couple more in The Gulf war. But the type was limited export and highly specialized that by numbers it's unlikely to encounter.

It is hard to get pictures like these being released by air forces for example this of a MiG-17 few moments before being shot down in the Vietnam war

The MiG-25 has also claimed to bag several aircraft, but war is also a war of propaganda in which each side claims things, but you can confirm loses only when both sides accept the same thing or there is evidence of the aircraft lost
this is another frame of the unidentified aircraft that we think it might be a Foxbat
