The Ukrainian flight that crashed just outside the Iranian capital of Tehran was struck by an anti-aircraft missile system, a Pentagon official, a senior U.S. intelligence official and an Iraqi intelligence official told Newsweek.
Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, a Boeing 737–800 en route from Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airpot to Kyiv's Boryspil International Airport, stopped transmitting data Tuesday just minutes after takeoff and not long after Iran launched missiles at military bases housing U.S. and allied forces in neighboring Iraq. The aircraft is believed to have been struck by a Russia-built Tor-M1 surface-to-air missile system, known to NATO as Gauntlet, the three officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter, told Newsweek.

So much dumb here.
1. For flying a commercial jet in the middle of that.
2. For some dumb arse shooting a plane flying away from Iran.

Why would they not sit it out? Iran looks terrible here. There's nothing to do.

You expecting intelligence to somehow be the redeeming quality here?

They do for letting the flight take off. With that said, is air defense systems not automatic? It’s not like an Iranian targeted the flight. The air defense system assumed it was hostile so it fired.
Or maybe I should shut up because I don’t know what the F I’m talking about.
