Does anyone even read anything reliable?

Ukrainians are already on the ground. Looks like Iranian AIB has invited interested parties to participate.

Iran has invoked articles to request assistance from other countries. Which means they genuinely believe it won't look bad for their regime...

My guess is uncontained engine failure with LOC-I characteristics. I have yet to see any evidence of missile or AAA action, because, if you look at the map on avherald, the debris field is small, the transponder appears to have been transmitting correct info, the aircraft was on a normal SID, and afaik nobody has come forward reporting AAA gunfire or a missile explosion.

People on the ground in the Donbass heard the missile hit MH17 at FL280 in daylight, I would be certain that a missile hit at 4,000ft over Tehran at 6am would've been heard by someone.

What sure looks like the front fin section of a 9M330 missile (from a TOR launcher), was reportedly found near crash site. Another coincidence?
