Plane was in the wrong place at the wrong time. They probably thought it was a retaliatory strike, considering the shoot-down happened just hours after they launched missiles at that Iraqi Airbase. Can only imagine how nervous their people manning SAMs must have been at the time.
sa nabasa ko ung Russian SAM meron auto function
So naka activate yan anticipating US attack
tapos lumipad ung airplane
nadetect ang heat signature
ayan
dapat pina-ground ng Iran ang mga commercial aircraft pag naka on ang SAM
typical 3rd world incompetence
di nag coordinate mga gov't agency
Still a massive own-goal. Majority of the passengers of the downed jet were Iranian. Some of the foreigners baka daw dual citizenship pa.
admission by iran
Iran says it '''unintentionally''' shot down Ukrainian jetliner
at least there is sort of closure in this case. unlike what happened with MH17, deny pa din ang russian gov’t.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 - Wikipedia
Turns out grounded nga dapat yung flight. Since they had just attacked that airbase the entire airspace over Iran was locked down and that flight should not have taken off.
‘I wish I was dead’: Senior IRGC commander accepts responsibility for downing Ukrainian jet, says it was mistaken for missile — RT World News
The commander explained that the incident had occurred as the country was bracing for potential US strikes and that the “likelihood of conflict” between the two nations has been “unprecedented” since the Islamic Revolution of 1979.
According to an early assessment, the Ukrainian plane was erroneously identified as an incoming cruise missile, which resulted in the tragedy. Air-defense units received a warning that cruise missiles had been fired at the country and stayed on high alert at the time of the incident, Hajizadeh stated.
The commander of the anti-aircraft unit had sought confirmation for the launch from his superiors, but experienced communication problems and had to make the decision –which turned out to be wrong– on his own. The officer only had 10 seconds to make the decision, Hajizadeh added.
That's good news -- that Iran admitted their error. Trudeau / Canada is vindicated. Now comes the reckoning.
Same thing what happened during the 80s when the US Navy cruiser USS Vincennes shot down an Iranian airliner thinking that it may be an Iranian fighter flying in the military corridor towards the cruiser.
As they always say, “shoot first, ask questions later”. Hehehe
