Who Shot Down Ukrainian International Airlines flight PS752?
Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 was a scheduled passenger flight from Tehran to Kiev.
It crashed near Tehran on Wednesday 8 January 2020 carrying 176 people.
Among the plane’s passengers were- 82 Iranians
- 63 Canadians (many of Iranian origin)
- 11 Ukrainians (two passengers and nine crew)
- 10 Swedish people
- 4 people from Afghanistan
- 3 from Germany
- 3 from the United Kingdom
There appear to be holes in the outside skin of the plane.
Who might have shot it down?
A VT reader offered this excellent analysis:
This was a Stinger. I am convinced.
A). MEK has smuggled MANPADs into Iran via Azerbaijan and Turkey from Libya and elsewhere. We know this.
B). The video (fortunately at night so we can analyze flame signature without light pollution) clearly shows flames from right engine destroyed at rear (look at videos of other shot down aircraft compared to those with engine fires). Importantly, The the plane is still flying and left wing still generating lift but clearly out of control. This does not happen with malfunctions or engine debris intake. Just ask Sulley Sullenberger. You can toss a 100 kg bag full of sand into an engine at full rpm and not cause this kind of damage. Plus within 15 seconds max and with reliable muscle memory (from rigorous engine out/fire training), any descent pilot would have shut off power and fuel to damaged engine and resumed flying plane. With one engine it could have maintained altitude for emergency landing
C) This is a pic of the right wing upside down. The front of the engine is still in tact but the rear and all rear wing components (flaps and brakes) are destroyed!!! There is bending at base of wing (wings are designed to bend) suggesting impact on right side . The impact crater in photo at right confirms this.
D) Stingers are designed to hit slow aircraft at low altitude. This plane was heavy and
E) Left engine totally intact and what you would expect in crash.
BIOGRAPHY
Breaking: America lied, devastation at two Iraqi bases, video evidence
The video above, supplied by helpful Americans who were delighted to see Iran hitting the US side of the Erbil International Airport, disproves Trump’s claims.
Thank our troops in Iraq for their efforts which include this video! Good luck they were in the apartments across from the airport. The road in front heads toward the civilian end and then a left turn takes you into Erbil, a pretty nice town.
Good duty station.
Trump claimed two missiles of 3 were shot down and one missed the base. In the few seconds above, 2 direct hits, no misses and no missile defenses.
The main video, devastation at al Assad air base with 5 direct hits on the central part of the base, buildings and aircraft destroyed, including hardened hangars flattened and obliterated.
