Ukrainian passenger jet probably crashed after being hit by a Russian-made Tor-M1 missile over Parand and crashed in the town of Khalaj Abad.
Ukrainian International Airlines flight PS752, en route from Tehran to Kyiv, with 176 people on board has crashed in Iran just minutes after take-off from Imam Khomeini International Airport, and officials say there is no chance of finding survivors.
A Ukrainian Boeing 737-800 went down just minutes after taking off from Tehran’s airport at 06:12 local time (02:42 GMT). Three Britons and 63 Canadians were among the 168 passengers and nine crew on board the Ukrainian International Airlines flight to Kyiv.
The OSINT experts cataloged and mapped some of the debris of the Ukrainian passenger jet and claim that some debris from Boeing 737-800 shows signs of a missile strike.

Also, Iranian social media released footage of suspicious wreckage that was founded nearly of passenger jet crash place. Suspicious wreckage found at Ukraine plane crash impact site appears to be the nose cone section and control fins of 9M331 surface-to-air missile. It is employed by the Russian-made Tor-M1 mobile air defense system and features a semi-active radar guidance system. This system currently in service of the Iranian military deployed at a military base near the crash site.

In addition, numerous amateur video appeared to capture the final moments of a Ukrainian passenger jet also testify in favor of the version of the missile attack. An amateur video, run by Iranian news agencies and purportedly of the crashing plane, showed a descending flash in a dark sky. It was accompanied by comments that the aircraft was “on fire” and then a brighter flash as it appears to hit the ground.
Iranian media blamed technical problems and quoted an aviation official who said no emergency had been declared.
In a sign of the potential difficulties facing crash investigators, the head of Iran’s civil aviation organisation was quoted as saying the Ukrainian plane’s “black boxes” – the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder.
Iran’s aviation authority has said it will not hand over flight recorders from the Ukraine International Airlines Boeing 737-800, either to the aircraft’s manufacturer or U.S. aviation authorities.
The statement was issued on Wednesday as the leaders of Ukraine and Canada, from which dozens of citizens died, vowed to identify the cause of the crash amid contradictory statements and swirling speculation.
The Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, said: “Our government will continue to work closely with its international partners to ensure that … [the crash] is thoroughly investigated, and that Canadians’ questions are answered.”

We knew Muscovy would somehow be involved. Was it Russians that pulled the trigger?
I already know all this since yesterday noon. All one had to do is zoom the video footage filmed by iranian students.
According to Fox news, the Iranians have said the black boxes are damaged. Which is BS. MH17 blew up at 30,000ft and the black boxes were OK. This plane was only 2000ft up.

Again i already said yesterday they would destroy them or say they are damaged. It’s handy to blame Ukraine for the death of 160 iranians. Ukraine should stop any flights to Iran and all trade with Iran forever.
Only one problem. The Fox story is the only source, no other media outlet has mentioned anything about damaged black boxes. I’m always sceptical when only one source publishes info. Let’s hope it’s not true anyway.
It was in Norwegian newspapers today, the data was partially destroyed. It looks more and more suspicious
So they say it was destroyed. I find that hard to believe. The same as I found it hard to believe Iran claimed it was an engine fault 5 minutes after the plane crashed.
From Reuters today
“The initial assessment of Western intelligence agencies was that the plane had suffered a technical malfunction and had not been brought down by a missile, five security sources – three Americans, one European and the Canadian – who asked not to be named, told Reuters.
Ukraine Security Council Secretary Oleksiy Danylov said the country’s investigators wanted to search for possible Russian missile debris after seeing information about it on the internet.
Ukraine is looking at various possible causes of the crash, including a missile attack, a collision, an engine explosion or terrorism, he wrote on social media.
Ukrainian investigators into the crash include experts who participated in the investigation into the 2014 shooting down of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17, Danylov said”

A lot of conflicting reports and theories are circulating. I just hope the truth eventually comes out, but I’m sceptical.
I don’t think the relatives of the ‘canadians’ in Teheranto will be satisfied with the official version about what happened. Maybe another nail in Iran’s regime’s coffin.
Canada don’t seem to be mourning the loss of these “Canadians” too much.
Russia always finds a way to be the problem , It will all come out this time .
