US officials, according to multiple reports, believe that Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752 was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile.
Pentagon officials told Newsweek that the plane was probably shot down by accident, as Iran's surface-to-air missile systems were likely active at the time of the crash.
Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752 is suspected to have been hit by fire from a Russian-built Tor M-1 (SA-15) surface-to-air missile system operated by the Iranian military, according to multiple reports.

I knew it. I even had insider info from my sister who is a Canadian Air Force Pilot. Plus my other friend who is in the same field. Both told me that this was 100% shot down by Iran, however they do believe it to be an accident. Nonetheless. This was not a mechanical failure.

I think happened because they got scared that the plane was an american bomber.
But this will for sure feed the ct's here on ats.
I think the most believed theory right now is that there was someone important or connected on that plane.

That's what I'm waiting for. I hope they release a full passenger list eventually. There HAS to be a reason for this "accident" to happen. Just seems so stupid.
Why would this plane take off shortly after a full "NO FLY ZONE" was initiated in the region??

They included 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainians, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Germans and three British nationals, according to a tweet from Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko.

My theory is the US and Iran had a deal. We take out Soleimani and they "retaliate" with a missile strike....that kills nobody.

This is exactly what I was wondering - who was on the plane?
Were any of the passengers significant in some way?
