But they would have to have a plan. So, what was the purpose? To crash the plane and kill everyone on board? To land the plane some place else? The pilots didn’t need any help to do either one of those.
Purpose? Steal the airplane and land it in a secure location where it can be loaded with a nuke. Then fly to the US to be detonated over NYC to financially decapitate us or flown over DC to politically decapitate us.
“The pilots didn’t need any help to do either one of those.”
If they planned on landing in Iran they’d need some help from the Iranians on board.
