First talk about this time. January 8, local time, UkraineAn International Airlines Boeing 737 crashed near Iran’s Tehran airport, killing all 176 passengers and crew on board.

Because the crash occurred during Iran’s “retaliatory” operation against the U.S. military base in Iraq, speculations have also been raised about “suspected shooting down by Iranian missiles” or “suspected terrorist attack”.

Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau said two days ago that the Canadian side had obtained intelligence from multiple sources, and that the Ukrainian passenger plane that crashed on the 8th was “wrongly shot down” by Iran; the Associated Press reported that “Trudo simultaneously It is believed that the attack on the (ie shot down) may be unintentional.

Today, the Iranian military detailed the details of this “man-made air crash” in a statement:

After the United States has claimed that it will strike a large number of targets in Iran, the Iranian Armed Forces are in the highest alert state in view of the unprecedented increase in air traffic in the relevant areas.

In a “critical situation”, when Ukraine Airlines flight departed Imam Khomeini International Airport, it approached a sensitive military center of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard and “the aircraft shape and flight height were similar to enemy aircraft “And was hit by an unexpected” human error. ”

Hajzadeh, commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Aerospace Force, said at a press conference on the accidental strike of the Uzbek airliner, “Previously, there was intelligence that Iran would be in danger of being attacked by cruise missiles. text-remarks “label =” Remarks “> (Ukraine) The missile system operator mistakenly regarded it as a cruise missile. The operator should have reported to his superior, but it seemed that there was a communication problem. He had 10 seconds. To decide whether to launch a missile, and ultimately made the wrong decision. “

Only eight days have passed in 2020. The “shadow of war” is not as “real imminent” as described by public opinion, but 176 lives have suddenly left.

Recalling the past few decades, it is not the first time that civil aviation passenger planes have been shot down and accidentally killed innocent people.

On February 21, 1973, a Libyan Arab Airlines Boeing 727-224 passenger aircraft performed flight 114. When flying to northern Egypt, it suddenly encountered a severe storm, deviated from its course, and entered Sinai under Israeli control. Over the peninsula.

The highly vigilant Israeli army quickly noticed this “uninvited guest” and sent two F-4 fighter jets to detect and intercept it.

Two Israeli pilots tried to signal the passenger plane with gestures, wing shake, and warning firing to follow the F-4 back to a nearby airbase, but the response of the Boeing 727 was to turn west. Fly away, Israel concluded that the passenger plane “attempted to escape.”

According to the order of the then Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, the fighter jet eventually shot 114 flights into the desert only one minute away from the actual territory controlled by Egypt, killing 108 people on board and 5 surviving.

According to the survivors, the crew knew of the warning purpose of the Israeli fighters, but because of “the bloody sea between Israel and the Arab world,” they immediately decided not to respond to the fighter signals. After the incident, the Israeli Defense Minister publicly stated that the downing of the passenger plane was due to “wrong judgment”, and the accident ended with Israeli financial compensation for the victims.

A full ten years later, quite similar to the “114 flight” incidentAnother “missing accident” suddenly occurred.

On August 31, 1983, a Korean Air Boeing 747-230B passenger flight 007 took off from Kennedy International Airport in New York, USA. There were 29 crew members and 240 passengers on board at the time. If all goes well, they will arrive at Seoul Gimpo Airport after an overnight flight.

Soon after the plane flew over Alaska, a Soviet Su-15 fighter of the 11th Air Defence Forces of the Soviet Homeland Defense Air Force suddenly appeared near Flight 007, which had unknowingly arrived at the former Soviet Kamchatka nuclear submarine. Over the base, this is already a significant departure from the route.

According to the Soviet Union, Flight 007 did not respond to the radio calls and warning shots issued by Su-15, and even “climbed to avoid”. At 3:00 am on September 1st, Tokyo time, the fighter pilot received an attack order and immediately fired two K-8 missiles to hit the rear of the passenger plane, causing the Boeing plane to explode at an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters, and all 269 passengers and crew on board were killed. .

South Korea and the United States stated that the aircraft entered the Soviet airspace by mistake due to navigational faults and deviated from the course, while the Soviet Union claimed that the aircraft used a civilian aircraft as cover and deliberately deviated from the course to perform espionage missions.

Until 1993, ICAO finally determined that the yaw of Flight 007 was caused by the pilot not using the inertial navigation system, but fixing the compass bearing at 245 degrees.
