May have found a missile part near crash site

I don’t read Islamic characters and the twitter translator is inaccurate

They shot it down, ISO, accidentally or otherwise.

And if they didn’t, and it truly was a “mechanical failure”, Iran is just the unluckiest country on the planet.

I can't begin to imagine what the hell any commercial passenger planes were doing in the air, anywhere near there.

That looks like a warhead honestly, but if so it raises a few questions. First, it looks unexploded, so did it some how get stuck in the plane without detonating? If it was indeed a missile that hit the plane, the crash site is quite a distance from where it was hit. So how did it end up with the wreckage?

It was either hit with multiple missiles or it might explain the slow decent on fire and not a giant explosion in the sky and a plane tumbling out of control. It hit the plane but didn’t detonate but caused enough damage to down the plane anyway

One of those Iranians need to walk over there and kick the hell out of it, just to see what happens.
Film it of course.

Missile tip is the warhead and is usually a HE with shrapnel around it. The back end is the engine and guidance/directional components. Only the war head will explode and the back section will it always complete blow up with it.

Missile was either radar guider or head guided. Head guided would have gone after engine and exploded when in close proximity. Not necessitating a contact hit as the achrapnel is designed to take out the engine.

Does it say ACME on it

Probably says BAE Systems

Lucky for The Road Runner, Wylie didn't have a BAE account.

It’s the tip of the Russian 9M330 Gauntlet missile



Which Iran has oddly enough LINK
