Radar and electronic warfare technicians on the Vincennes detected “electronic emanations" that led them to believe the plane was an F-14 fighter.
Why did Iran equip an airbus commercial aircraft with F-14 equipment, and deactivate the Iranian Airbus’s transponder which identified it as a commercial flight?
It was a propaganda victory for Iran. The only cost to them was a few corpse volunteers to serve as "passengers."
Welcome back and thanks for posting the reality of Iran Air 655.
