My opinion is the only entity responsible for this was the AA crew.
In a distance second, I would put Iran for allowing the flight to leave and civilian aircraft to operate, third would be the airline operators who decided to still take off despite the situation. Now to add to the second and especially the third, I included them in more of a way to prevent something like this from happening again, so not as so much a blame game thing, but an action thing to minimize such an event from happening.
So I'm not buying accident....doesn't make sense...
I'm leaning towards intentional...accidental makes no sense
but we'll never know...very hard to prove.
Both Taheran Civil Aviation and the Military are equipped with short-range and long-range radars to monitor all flight paths of incoming and departing planes.
No their isn't, there are no facts that indicate the jet was shot down. Iran and Ukraine say mechanical problems, an engine caught fire.
We can speculate that some trigger happy Iranian soldiers fired a SAM at it, thinking it was an American bomber over the capital, but that is just speculation and really doesn't make sense as it was shortly after take off. So I will go with mechanical problem.
No evidence????? What???? I guess the satellite infrared military tracking system which is the most sophisticated in the world is a worthless childs toy......lol You those were not roman candles WE ALL HAVE SEEN... HITTING THE PLANE LOL
I have to further amend my post about satellites because now it's being reported we did detect 2 launches which could match a SA 15. We didn't report it at first because we wanted to see Iran's reaction. They use thermal detection, so it would be small on a Tor but still reasonably able to determine the kind based on heat signature. A man pad would be undetectable.
I think our intelligence knew within an hour exactly what happened but when Iran declared it mechanical failure we decided to give them some rop to hang themselves and get all their leaders on the record multiple times denying it was a missile.
I also think maybe Iran initially denied it to see how much we could tell.
The Iranians shooting it down is moon bat bullchit. Next we'll hear Putin pushed a button on his desk and shot it down with a laser from Spasskey tower at the Kremlin.
Your arrogant posts are the proven moon bat bullchit.
Plucked with a dark beef based gravy. Broccoli and large curd cottage cheese with Cheetos mixed in a bowl on the side. Fresh baked bread too with a glass of water.
I own it. I completely ignored most of the news and relied on the first videos, pictures and some obscure
aviation experts. It all seemed to fit together so I went with it.
Seems to me you also ignored basic common sense and probability.
Anyone still wondering why folks are a tad nervous regarding Iran getting its hands on nuclear weapons?
Shooting down a lumbering civilian jet 3 minutes after it takes off from their very own (and largest and operational) airport is an immediate disqualification from future control of extremely dangerous weapons. (Even without those usual ‘Death to America’ blah blah blah chants.)
Ahh.. er... no.
That's not how it works, when it comes to "immediate disqualifications." ( At least not in my book, and at least not until I'll get sufficient explanations for example, of what exactly happened to the Flight TWA 800.)
The only REAL concern is that Iran is an Islamic country after all, but this is no bigger concern for me than Pakistan having the nuclear weapon. Or North Korea for this matter.
