It was a Tor-M1 (SA-15 Gauntlet) that was used.

“board a flight into Tehran?”

It was a regularly scheduled flight from Tehran.

Motive other than accidental?

Accident is very plausible.

On that particular night, thousands of Iranian soldiers, mostly young, were manning air defenses which must have been spun uo to the highest level imaginable.

Would YOU want to fly out of Teheran that night?

It wasn’t a MAX.

It was a older 737-800NG (Next Generation) model.

Here is the plane in question:

A MAX has larger engines with a shark tooth trailing edge on the engine nacelles.

“It was a regularly scheduled flight from Teheran”

And isn’t it interesting that there is regular air service between Teheran and Ukraine?

I mean, our “very close ally” Ukraine and Teheran?

I tell you, this Ukraine-impeachment-Biden-knocking up strippers story contains wheels within wheels. We will never get to the bottom of it.

That’s not a SAM launch.

That’s the plane being on fire, the fireball before the terminal plunge was probably what was left of the wing coming off

“If true, Boeing stock should nose dive tomorrow.”

From what I saw, it was a 737-800. Different model.
