Ukraine: Recordings Show Iran Knew Jetliner Hit by a Missile

KYIV, Ukraine — A leaked recording of an exchange between an Iranian air-traffic controller and an Iranian pilot purports to show that authorities immediately knew a missile had downed a Ukrainian jetliner after takeoff from Tehran, killing all 176 people aboard, despite days of denials by the Islamic Republic.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy acknowledged the recording's authenticity in a report aired by a Ukrainian television channel on Sunday night.
...
A transcript of the recording, published by Ukrainian 1+1 TV channel, contains a conversation in Farsi between an air-traffic controller and a pilot reportedly flying a Fokker 100 jet for Iran’s Aseman Airlines from Iran’s southern city of Shiraz to Tehran.

“A series of lights like ... yes, it is a missile, is there something?” the pilot calls out to the controller.

“No, how many miles? Where?” the controller asks.

The pilot responds that he saw the light by the Payam airport, near where the Guard’s Tor M-1 anti-aircraft missile was launched from. The controller says nothing has been reported to them, but the pilot remains insistent.

“It is the light of a missile,” the pilot says.

“Don’t you see anything anymore?” the controller asks.

“Dear engineer, it was an explosion. We saw a very big light there, I don’t really know what it was,” the pilot responds.

The controller then tries to contract the Ukrainian jetliner, but unsuccessfully.

The Mother of All "Oh...shit!" Moments

Reading/speculating between the lines some ...

* The Iranian government could have known within a very few hours - if not minutes - that PS752 was downed by a missile.

* Information about airport flight operations apparently was not communicated to the military, down to the battery command level;

* Either communication of what the air traffic people knew to the supreme mucky-mucks was delayed for days, or the supreme mucky-mucks were trying to brazen out what they knew was a lie for several days.

* PS752 was NOT the only commercial plane in the air at the time. With commercial air traffic information not being adequately communicated to and within the military, every one of those planes and their hundreds or thousands of passengers were thus endangered.

* Plus or minus a few low-level scape-goat heads rolling, NOTHING is likely to be learned from this F-Up by Iran.
