Every country should revoke flight priviledges of Iran Air in their country/airspace and stop all flights to Tehran until they officially apologize and explain what happened. Fuck em if this is true and they took out an airplane. https://www.businessinsider.com/ira...8z7ikfw8NsJZUNdh52HOMvu6KpRzRHw3Bp9r_T2NGGVQI
For them to give an explanation they will have to admit to believing the aircraft was a threat and shot it down. That is a bit of a game changer as it forces everyone to acknowledge the Iranians will shoot down any aircraft, including a US aircraft, if they believe their airspace is being attacked.
This has already been confirmed by multiple sources. There's actually a photo of the seeker head in this interesting thread. https://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/628650-ukrainian-aircraft-down-iran.html US officials say two missiles were fired. Iraqi military bases detected and picked up Iran's air defence systems turning on radar and launching the missiles. https://time.com/5762527/was-a-ukrainian-passenger-plane-lost-in-the-fog-of-war/ In the video you can see what appears to be the missile (left to right in the video) hitting the plane. After the missile hits the plane continues and appears to be on fire (right to left in the video). https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/09/world/middleeast/iran-plane-crash-ukraine.html
I would think some of these systems can't rely on slow human reaction to intercept threats? inb4 hacked Iranian weapons system to make them look bad
Wayyyy to go Dumphuks. Iran adds one of its naval vessels and some Iranian sailors to its list of phuck-ups. Yep. they don't just take civilian airliners down. I wonder how this will be Trump's fault. No doubt the lefties here will help them to find a way.
