Plane Crash in Tehran

You are intentionally mis-quoting. Mis-interpreting is one thing. Mis-quoting is something else entirely.

There’s plenty of other forums that will welcome your anti-■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ rhetoric with open arms. You should find one and spend lots of time there.

Off topic.

They will shut down the thread if you continue with the off topic comments.

Surprised that Iran has admitted this so quickly. It does seem this was a tragic error.

American is not to blame, Trump is not to blame. You cannot even blame the Iranian government though of course they ultimately have to take responsibility.

One feasible explanation is a fly-by by a US Stealth plane, provoking an Iranian missile.
Israel pulled a similar trick when Syria shot down a Russian cargo plane.

There were helicopters. There is zero evidence of any gunfire coming from them.

The flashing lights are strobes/running lights.

Learn to read, I never claimed there are no Israeli operatives in Iran. As I’ve said repeatedly they have the best intel network in Iran of any foreign gov’t.

That doesn’t mean they are operating Iran’s ADA.

BS, if it was a stealth aircraft the Iranians could not have tracked it.

It’s not a Klingon cloaking device you can turn off and on.

Iran screwed the pooch, one of their batteries fired on a civilian aircraft. Shit happens when you go to war and people make mistakes that often cost lives.

Serbia shot down a Stealth. A fact.

A first generation F117 that was flying at low level during daytime.

They got lucky and picked up it’s heat signature as it flew by and it had already been spotted and it’s trajectory plotted by the Serbian air controllers.

Except the Iranians have admitted to shoot down the plane.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — In the face of mounting evidence, Iran on Saturday acknowledged that it shot down the Ukrainian jetliner by accident, killing all 176 people aboard. The admission by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard undermined the credibility of information provided by senior officials, who for three days had adamantly dismissed allegations of a missile strike as Western propaganda.

It also raised a host of new questions, such as why Iran did not shut down its international airport or airspace on Wednesday when it was bracing for the U.S. to retaliate for a ballistic missile attack on two military bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq. No one was hurt in that attack, carried out in retaliation for the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani in an American airstrike in Baghdad.

Still too early to draw any definitive conclusion.
I stick to my earlier claim that something or somebody caused them to make the error.

Despite the tragedy, Trump seems to be defusing the tension with Iran (for now)

Posted this earlier in this thread from another source.The cover up was well on it’s way before they admitted to shooting it down.

They would still be covering it up if they thought there was a possibility they could get away with it.

Certainly a very stark contrast to what they were aiming for.
