Yes, we broke down Ukraine's plane: Iran

Tehran Ta 11 Jan 29020, Saturday

Iran on Saturday morning confessed that we had accidentally smashed a Ukrainian plane carrying 180 people.

Iran admitted for the first time that it had mistakenly dismantled Ukraine's landing plane in connection with a missile attack near the US embassy in Iraq in return for a US air raid at Baghdad airport.

It took a few seconds before the aircraft took off. Initially, there was talk that the aircraft had crashed due to a technical fault. It killed 176 people.

An Iranian spokesman said that we had dropped our plane due to human error. Earlier, Iran attributed the technical fault to the plane crash. The most tragic thing was that more passengers from Iran were also on the plane. The largest number of casualties, ie 82 passengers, were from Iran. Other passengers included 63 from Canada, 11 from Ukraine, 10 from Sweden, four from Afghanistan, three from Germany and three from Britain.

According to the BBC report Tony Curtis, an aviation safety analyst, expressed the opinion that the plane was severed, meaning that there was a serious collision with the plane on the air or on the ground. In the air, the earth may have collided with something high.

Then the United States and Britain announced that Iran had dropped the plane. Initially, Iran was talking about a technical flaw, but after the opinions of experts such as Tony Curtis appeared, it was difficult to hide the truth.
