Iran tried to explain why the IRG did not immediately recognize the strike on the airliner

121

The Iranian news agency Fars has published a statement by the commander of the Aerospace Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, which also includes air defense forces. Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh recognized the full responsibility of the IRGC for the death of the Ukrainian Boeing. He stated that "I would like to die, but not to witness such an incident."

According to Hajizade, the Iranian authorities, when they talked about the non-involvement of their country in shelling a passenger liner, did not try to mislead anyone or hide the real facts. They simply did not yet have complete information about the causes of the crash of the Boeing.



The incident happened early in the morning of January 8, and a little later the brigadier general was informed about the involvement of the Iranian air defense forces. Although this information was still unverified and in doubt, he immediately reported it to Tehran. Upon arrival in the capital, he learned about the creation by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of the investigative group, but he did not receive permission to provide her with information. At this time, the authorities claimed that the plane crash occurred for technical reasons.

It took about two days to collect all the data and accurately determine the cause of the death of the liner.

Hajizadeh claims that neither the IRGC nor the Iranian military received orders from above to hide information from the public. He says the disaster was due to a mistake by the operator who mistook the plane for the Americans cruise missile. This happened due to the extremely tense situation and increased security measures. The general claims that the IRGC leadership requested the release of Iranian airspace from civilian aircraft.

Against the backdrop of the recognition of the Iranian military command attack on the airliner of Ukraine International Airlines, related questions arise. One of them: if the aircraft commander, before the missile hit the airliner, continued radio communication with the dispatcher and did not report any problems, then why did the calculation of Iran’s air defense systems take the plane that had just taken off for a “cruise missile”? There is no official answer to this question yet.

          The man.

          The general himself would not have made such a decision, but few people would agree to be in his place ...
          then why the calculation of the air defense systems of the Iranian air defense took the plane, which had just taken off, for a "cruise missile"?
          The Iranians talk about failures in the communication line of the air defense systems, so the question is, weren't these failures "man-made"?

          It is interesting how an air defense system operator could confuse a cruise missile with an ESR of 0.1 sq.m, with a passenger plane with an ESR of 70-100 sq.m also near the international airport, the flight path of the planes, and the beginning of the glide path are 2-3 kilometers from the place the location of the air defense system, the range of the complex made it possible to see the aircraft from the moment of takeoff, it is impossible to mix it up with something else. I do not exclude betrayal and deliberate missile launch.

            I would also add that walking along a dedicated corridor of takeoff and landing.

              No darker than: "July 3, 1988. Iran Air's Airbus A300B2-203 was on commercial passenger flight IR655 on the Tehran-Bandar Abbas-Dubai route, but 7 minutes after taking off from Bandar Abbas, flying over the Persian Gulf, it was shot down by a surface-to-air missile fired from the US Navy's missile cruiser Vincennes, killing all 290 people on board - 16 crew members and 274 passengers (including 65 children).
              The crash of flight 655 was the largest plane crash in the history of Iran and the Airbus A300, as well as in the history of the Airbus family of aircraft.
              At the time of the missile launch, the cruiser Vincennes was in the territorial waters of Iran. The US government said the Iran Air airliner was mistakenly identified as an F-14 fighter of the Iranian Air Force. The Iranian government, however, claims that Vincennes deliberately attacked a civilian plane. "
              How could you confuse a climbing airliner "walking along a dedicated corridor"...
              Then there were also discussions about incompatible EPR, the well-known schedule and route.
              As a result, according to the American version: "The main reason for the incident in the official report is the psychological state of the Vincennes team, operating in a combat situation under great pressure. The American government considers the incident as a military incident and believes that the cruiser team acted in accordance with the current circumstances."
              And the Iranians were not under great pressure? According to the Amer system of case law, this is a military incident.

              The time was chosen just after the terrorist act of a committed fsch. And now let's remember what Boris Johnson wrote in 2013.
              “A dead cat on the dining table will have an effect. And this is not about people being indignant, alarmed, disgusted. It is true, but it does not matter. The key point, says my Australian friend, is that everyone will shout: "God, buddy, there's a dead cat on the table!" In other words, they will talk about a dead cat, that is, about what you want them to talk about, and they will not talk about a problem that causes you so many problems, ”Johnson wrote.

              Here is the "dead cat" in the form of a downed plane, the terrorist attack by the FSA fades into the background, and Iran turns from a victim into a culprit.

                Or maybe this "dead cat" plays into the hands of the Iranian leadership? It is not necessary that there was a personal performance, but on the other hand, the quick acceptance of the blame becomes appropriate. So that after the assassination of Suleimani to cool down a little our charges (like we also became guilty) and so that some radical fanatic does not break his wood, somewhere in the West. Thus, greatly aggravating the position of the Iranian leadership. It is one thing to officially be indignant, to try to save face, to announce a note of protest, and quite another to throw down the gauntlet, provoke a war in which there are clearly few trump cards for victory.

But again, given the circumstances, detention will not be harsh. The punishment for him in fact will be the end of his military career.
                It is easy to find the air defense operator who pressed the button, Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizade did not hide behind his subordinates ... "they were mistaken, so I trained them poorly" not his words, but this meaning.

            From the Ministry of Defense of Iran, they explained the reason: The air defense missile system was at the disposal of a unit of the "revolutionary guard". They were recently deployed to this location. There were bad things, they were still settling down. Moreover, the "guards" have a lower level of training than in the regular army. Combat mood, but no experience! Moreover, we could not contact the command post in time! According to the instructions, in this case, the operator must make his own decision in a matter of seconds! And he ... was wrong! Unfortunately!

              He is just recognized by the leadership of Iran. But you need to understand that the air defense grouping around Tehran was reinforced with the means of the so-called. "military air defense", that is, the crews that previously covered remote bases and troops on the march.
              New location, undeveloped area, psychological stress, early morning (fatigue factor), poor coordination with command posts of regular air defense forces and civil aviation services ...
              In a combat situation, in anticipation of a strike, this could not have happened.
              ... And of course handshake. hi

            And, after all, there really can be a deliberate "setup": at first, someone from high ranks signaled where Suleimani would be. I doubt that Suleimani posted his detailed route on the Internet, the Americans are killing the general. The IRGC is then "substituted".
            And now the most interesting: who and for what purpose does this do?
            I have several versions, or rather 2, but they have under versions: 1) someone, a high-ranking, is clearing a "place in the sun" for himself, and the ayatol and his support of the IRGC interferes with him. There may be different additional versions. 2) someone, I guess who, wants to radically change the course of Iran.
            You can consider this an unsuccessful analysis or female intuition.

Is there anything about 100 released hostages on the Internet? I did not find. Even if this is true, given that there were 6000 hostages, it can hardly be called a success. Operation Eagle Claw was a classic failure overall. At the same time, the quality of the special forces itself does not matter much.

        VVK "I am not a specialist in air defense"and right there"I think". Interesting message.
        I served in the crew of the 12th anti-aircraft missile system "Slave" of the Odessa air defense anti-aircraft missile brigade. In 1980, a low-speed radio-contrast aircraft left our territory towards Iran. At that time, my unit was on alert. Naturally, the brigade headquarters set us the task "to capture, accompany / in sight / and be ready to launch the missile immediately upon receiving the command." We have completed everything and reported on it. We only waited for the Start command. And she was not there. All nerves in a string. Above our headquarters is the combined command post of air defense and the civil sector of the EU ATC. From there the Team was supposed to come. And there everything was sorted out in order to prevent a fatal mistake. And finally, the "END OUT" command sounded. Like a mountain off your shoulders !!! It turns out that the 2nd pilot forgot to change the quartz in the "friend or foe" identification system at the set time. And this is the USSR with a long tradition of air defense and with a built-up system for analyzing the situation. And here on you - the human factor. Gouge the 2nd pilot. Who could send himself and all innocent passengers to the next world.
        This is to explain a little what the air defense missile defense is, and sometimes it happens when at a given moment in time you are personally responsible for the assigned portion of the sky!

      He says the disaster was due to a mistake by the operator who mistook the plane for the Americans cruise missile.

      Probably a very low qualification of the operator who could not distinguish the airliner from a cruise missile, the reflected signal is different, speeds, altitude, etc., except that the airliner has a transponder on, which is impossible not to see.
      why the calculation of the air defense systems of the Iranian air defense mistook the plane that had just taken off as a "cruise missile"?

      Probably the delay before take-off played a role. According to the calculation of the air defense system, the scheduled plane had to fly off an hour ago, and suddenly a target appeared, which should not be.
      In any case, the Persians should do the work on the bugs and change the algorithm of the air defense.
      Respect to the Persians for admitting a mistake, in contrast to the "democratic" USA, which in a similar situation said that the American military was not guilty of anything, although they shot down a passenger plane and did not punish anyone.

        Amir Ali Hajizadeh was responsible for the formation of an air defense ring around Tehran. I admit that during the threatened period, namely, before the shelling of American bases in Iraq in response to the assassination of Lieutenant General Kassem Suleimani near Baghdad, additional calculations of the IRGC air defense forces were transferred from Tehran from other directions. It is likely that the situation near the capital's airport was not familiar to them.
        I will add that inadequate Trump made his share in creating a tense situation in Iran with his warning about a possible retaliatory strike against 52 targets in Iran. The blow could follow from different directions, at the decisive moment the connection was interrupted, the calculation had 10 seconds to make a decision.

      Against the backdrop of the recognition of the Iranian military command attack on the airliner of Ukraine International Airlines, related questions arise. One of them: if the aircraft commander, before the missile hit the airliner, continued radio communication with the dispatcher and did not report any problems, then why did the calculation of Iran’s air defense systems take the plane that had just taken off for a “cruise missile”? There is no official answer to this question yet.

      Delay? It turns out that there is no contact between the dispatchers of the international airport and the air defense crews? Flight delays are a common occurrence. When for weather conditions, and when for "technical reasons". In this case, there was a technical reason.

      Admitted error after three days. And I apologize, yet it all looks like an excuse. Here is the paragraph and article where it says
      The incident happened early in the morning of January 8, and a little later the brigadier general was informed about the involvement of the Iranian air defense forces. Although this information was still unverified and in doubt, he immediately informed her in Tehran. Upon arrival in the capital he learned about the creation by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of the investigative group, but did not receive permission to provide her with information. At this time, the authorities claimed that the plane crash occurred for technical reasons.

      There are questions.
      1. To whom did he convey the information to Tehran? A person who is the leader of the armed forces and "overwhelmed" of whom there are practically only two. Deputy commander of the IRGC and commander-in-chief of the IRGC, that is, occupying the third place in the hierarchy of subordination of the IRGC, to whom he could convey information. Only up
      2. The second. He did not receive permission to transfer information to the investigation team of the General Staff. Who could forbid him. Again these two superiors. But then the ban on contact with the investigation team can only be regarded as an attempt to keep the air defense guilty secret from the calculation, maybe they don’t know. After all, although the IRGC is officially part of the armed forces of Iran, but in fact it is a parallel army ...

And escorting the aircraft practically from the airfield itself did not have the opportunity to check the situation. The day before the event, Trump makes a number of controversial statements. The plane is selected of the country with which it is easiest to solve any nuances. 90% of passengers are either Iranians by citizenship, or citizens of another country but Iranians by origin. The notorious video that someone knew where to shoot and when. The signature of the aircraft is large. Etc. etc.

Now I’m not even talking about a mistake with air defense, but simply banal things that the Iranians should have done in their minds. But they did not make them, so there is no need to shift them from a big head to a healthy one.

      And, after all, there really can be a deliberate "setup": at first, someone from high ranks signaled where Suleimani would be. I doubt that Suleimani posted his detailed route on the Internet, the Americans are killing the general. The IRGC is then "substituted".
      And now the most interesting: who and for what purpose does this do?
      I have several versions, or rather 2, but they have under versions: 1) someone, a high-ranking, is clearing a "place in the sun" for himself, and the ayatol and his support of the IRGC interferes with him. There may be different additional versions. 2) someone, I guess who, wants to radically change the course of Iran.

      Your version is supported by rallies against the spiritual leader of Iran. There are now demands up to the resignation of the commander in chief ...

        Thanks for the link. The interview of the general, verbose and confused, very vividly paints a picture of what happened, which can be called in one word - a mess.
        As a result, they shot down a "target" flying not towards the capital of the country, but away from it.

      Thanks for the link. Before that I had read (though with translators) the English version of this interview. there is a difference, but basically the interviews are textually the same

      Nevertheless, some passages of the general raise even more questions .... Here are some of them.

      So, all air defense systems were at the highest alert level. On several occasions, these systems, including the one involved in the incident, were notified by the integrated network that cruise missiles had been launched across the country. Within a couple of times, they received reports that "cruise missiles are coming, get ready."

      The air defense units were notified by the integrated network - that is, it turns out that the air defense network was functioning normally. But then how to perceive the information that "cruise missiles are launched, are coming"? What then did the Iranian air defense see? Non-existent cruise missiles?

      At the signal that the cruise missiles were on, the corresponding air defense unit took the target to escort and fired rockets.

      How to understand this? That, the calculation of the complex gave a damn about what its own radar shows. Did they have enough information that "cruise missiles are coming"? And they escorted the first target they came across?

      At the moments when the incident occurs, this air defense unit discovers that there is a target - which she identified as a cruise missile - at a distance of 19 kilometers.

      Yes, they took me to escort precisely at such a distance. But I repeat again. How could one confuse a cruise missile and an airliner when the EPR of the first is a couple of orders of magnitude smaller, like the illumination on the screen. How could one take a target for a cruise missile, not only a huge one, but also coming from the capital? Where did she suddenly come from? At the same time, it’s going not to the SMV with a relief envelope, like all cruise missiles fly, but at a height of several kilometers, while gaining altitude? Not to mention that the goal was with a working transpoder. Even if we take it as an axiom that the transpoder suddenly shuts off at a reversal, then BEFORE it worked and the mark on the radar said that it was a civilian plane. Or follow the marks on the radar was not the responsibility of the calculation? Then what is their professional level? At baseboard level or lower?

      This plane takes off from here and rises in this direction. This means that this is the point of impact. Given the information sent to this operator - that it was a wartime situation and the rockets were fired - this poor guy defines it as a cruise missile.

      The stress of the operator can be understood, but to make such a monstrous mistake, to take a huge liner for a small missile - what could have happened then, if it weren’t at the remote control of the air defense system, but at the CP of ballistic missiles. Or is there no training level ??

      Then he moves along this trajectory, and here is the place where he falls to the ground. I have to explain some points here. Prior to the statement of the Armed Forces, the country's aviation organization resolutely defended [its position] and insisted that not a single missile hit the plane, and that the issue was under investigation. First, I must say that they operate on the basis of their own knowledge; they did not know about this incident.

      The general defends, and this can be understood by the country's Iranian aviation organization. And this can be understood. But what, the airport dispatch service has no means of control (radars) Didn’t detect that a fast-flying target appears, going towards rapprochement with the airliner? Doesn’t he see that after these two marks coincided, the mark of the airliner began to behave quite differently? Lose height? Even assuming that they DID NOT KNOW about the defeat of an airliner by an anti-aircraft missile, such a mark behavior should at least alert them. They say that the connection with the liner was almost before a collision with the ground (I do not know how true this is). What, the crew did not report a missile defeat? Moreover, a certain operator shoots and uploads to the network video with this tragic incident?

      It is necessary to clarify, when I was informed about the incident on Wednesday morning, I immediately reported this to the country's leadership. They told me: we hit the target.

      How then to understand this? The country's leadership knew, but supported the version of a technical malfunction?

      They said that the plane was not destroyed; he turned and wanted to land. Look, as the plane was hit at low altitude, a short-range missile with a small warhead and radio fuse exploded nearby [of the plane]; therefore, the aircraft continued to fly for some time; he did not explode in the air and flew before a collision with the ground.

      The most interesting question. Speaking on TV, some of our test pilot the day after the tragedy, when shots from the crash site appeared, expressed surprise that there were no large debris that, logically, should have occurred when the plane was destroyed by an impact on the ground. He said that such fragments are more characteristic of an explosion in the air. so what really happened? Explosion in the air from two missiles or still destruction from a blow to the ground ???

      The general claims that the IRGC leadership requested the release of Iranian airspace from civilian aircraft.
      That is, it is very likely that the air defense of the IRGC did not expect the appearance of a civilian aircraft at all, therefore it was shot as a target. Now the IRGC takes responsibility to save the reputation of the one whom it "asked to free the airspace of Iran" ... The one who deliberately gave permission to take off the aircraft is to blame.

      Judging from the text of the news, which was undoubtedly selected, edited and absolutely precisely, is not a literal quote, only one conclusion can be drawn! The man who took responsibility admitted that he was so ... Really well done! But now, let's think about how things really happen in the Army! Moreover, the Army of the country, where they can ask "how to understand." Especially, given that the IRGC, in general, does not in fact obey the Iranian authorities .. There is a lot of question ... Given the mentality of the Persians, it may very well be that this very specific person openly specifically regrets what he has done .. Questions, in general, then, to him and not .. Questions are for those who organized all this! And most importantly, why he organized so badly!

        Another interesting point: Evgeny Dykhne (UIA President) explained the delay in departing PS 752 flights for an hour due to the large amount of luggage and hand luggage on board.
        “The commander, having determined the take-off mass of the aircraft, saw a discrepancy and decided to unload a certain amount of baggage from the trunk,” said the head of UIA. https://www.avianews.com/incidents/2020/01/11/mau_why_not_cancelled_flight_ps752/

      Why is the IRGC not recognized immediately? Because there was no team. Who gives the command - Ayatollah. Why didn't the ayatollah take political responsibility? He probably has some thoughts. The leader of a lower rank was given the command to take everything upon himself. Which he did. What did he take upon himself? He took political responsibility for the unintentional (???) destruction of a passenger plane by air defense systems in the acute phase of a military conflict with the United States. The conflict arose due to the destruction of an official - a senior leader of the armed forces. The plane took off at a time when the US was expected to retaliate against Iran. Ukrainian plane. Ukraine is an agent of the United States (or, to a greater extent, the US Democratic Party).
      Information warfare is what we (not all of course) see in Iran. There is an "orange revolution". Yes, it's already coming. If the destruction of the Ukrainian aircraft is a "pure accident", which will have consequences in the form of overthrowing the regime in Iran, then we must, comrades, take a closer look at this "accident"!

      Where does this information come from? Kamrad orus laid out a scan yesterday. There was no turn towards the center of Tehran, just as there was no sharp turn to the right, as some write here. And the deviation was within the corridor.

      related questions arise. One of them: if the commander of the aircraft, before the missile hit the airliner, continued radio communication with the dispatcher and did not report any problems, then why did the Iranian air defense missile systems take the plane that had just taken off as a "cruise missile"?

      And what, the operator of the air defense system and negotiations is listening to PASSENGER airplanes?
