WASHINGTON: Two Iranian missiles struck down a Ukrainian passenger jet, the New York Times reported Tuesday, posting verified security camera footage showing double projectiles gliding through the sky before hitting their target.

The missiles were fired 30 seconds apart and help explain a mystery as to why the plane’s transponder was not working – it was disabled by the first strike, before being hit by a second, the Times said.

The Ukraine International Airlines plane was brought down shortly after take-off on Wednesday, killing all 176 passengers and crew on board.

Tehran had for days denied Western claims based on US intelligence that the Boeing 737 had been downed by a missile.




It came clean on Saturday when Revolutionary Guards aerospace commander Brigadier General Amirali Hajizadeh acknowledged a missile operator had mistaken the plane for a cruise missile and opened fire independently.

The blurry footage shows the plane on fire and circling back to Tehran’s airport, the Times said. Minutes later, it exploded and crashed.

The footage was shot from a rooftop in Bidkaneh, a village four miles from an Iranian military site, the Times said.

Hundreds of angry protesters, most of them students, have taken to the streets in the wake of the tragedy, chanting slogans against the Islamic republic.


Iran announced its first arrests over the accidental shooting on Tuesday, without naming who or how many people had been detained

The army training work then. Double tap.

why the protesters are mostly students?

SAM's always fired in pairs

evidence points to pro-russian ukranian separatist
granted its russian tech but saying its russians is a stretch la

Ukrainian rebels didn't have any SAM launcher vehicles. (Or tanks.) That hardware is supplied from Russia, often with Russian Army markings still on

Neither did the rebels have the training to operate the SAM launcher vehicles. So the finger on the button was almost certainly a serving Russian soldier.

dont forget ukraine also got the exact same hardware
so all thats left now was whose finger pressed the button and that unfortunately no one knows for certain

last i recall was some eu country (dutch was it?) wanted to charge some high rank ruski military guy. but the charge is for supplying/providing the hardware.
didnt remember it saying the russians fired it. i could be wrong here
