January 9, 20205 yr Iranians sure did seem sheepish the past few days. Shooting down a plan full of civilians explains that...

January 9, 20205 yr Just read a tweet that US ‘officials’ are confident it was shot down as satellites picked up the AD radar and 2 launches. So yeah if that’s true Assman was right, and the expected SA-15 has a fragmentation warhead (vs continuous rod) that’s poke a bunch of holes as seen in the pics.

To be fair, that plane probably started boarding just a few minutes after the strikes, and who knows if anyone knew anything? And what would be the calculus -- "do I take a chance on this flight or take a chance staying in this shithole with WW3 breaking out?"
January 9, 20205 yr We shot down an Iranian aircraft in 1988. Russia shot down the Malaysian aircraft over Ukraine in 2014. And now Iran shoots down a Ukranian aircraft. No reprisals or punishments happened after the first 2. Doubtful anything will come of this. Edited January 9, 20205 yr by crash_davis
January 9, 20205 yr Quote Ukrainian airliner was shot down by Iran with Russian-made surface-to-air missiles From CNN's Barbara Starr The Ukrainian plane that crashed Wednesday was shot down by two Russian-made surface to air missiles (SA-15), according to a US official familiar with the intelligence. The US saw Iranian radar signals lock onto the jetliner, before it was shot down. The morning after the incident, US analysts discovered the data but took another day to verify. Welp, that's that.

Just found this. https://www.nytimes.com/1996/12/09/world/ex-soviet-pilot-still-insists-kal-007-was-spying.html A confirmed Communist who lives in the Caucasus region, Colonel Osipovich insists that the jetliner was on a spy mission and that there were no civilian passengers aboard. He even considers himself fortunate to have achieved a measure of celebrity by having destroyed Flight 007. One of his few complaints is that the Soviet authorities paid him a smaller bonus for shooting down the plane than he had hoped: 200 rubles minus a small fee for postage. The ground-based officer who first detected the plane on his radar scope received a 400-ruble bonus, he complained. ''Those who did not take part in this operation received double their monthly pay,'' he said. ''At that time, monthly pay was 230 rubles. So I expected to be paid at least 400 rubles.''

January 9, 20205 yr 3 days of official state sanctioned mourning for a terrorist scumbag but let's see if the Iranian government will admit to the truth or continue their brazen lying about the cause. What an embarrassing display. 60 people die in a stampede at the funeral of the scumbag and now they shoot down a passenger jet. The value the Islamic government has for ordinary lives is nil.

Yep And they looked external (as in shrapnel punching into the fuselage/wings, instead of exploding outward). The fact that the Iranian government was so quick to say they wouldn't be sharing the blackbox with Boeing/etc. was a sign as well.
