Continuing analysis of data from satellites, radar and electronic data collected by the U.S military and intelligence suggests the plane was shot down by two (2) Russian-made SA-15 Surface-to-Air Missiles. The U.S saw Iranian radar signals lock onto the Jetliner, before it was shot down. The Ukrainian International Airlines (UIA) flight PS752 came down within just 3 minutes after takeoff from Tehran on Wednesday 8th January 2020, killing all 176 people on board, including dozens of Iranians and Canadians. The Boeing 737-800 was headed for Kiev, where 138 passengers were expected to take a connecting flight to Canada. Also killed on the flight were Ukrainians, Swedes, Afghans, Germans and British nationals. The crash came just hours after Iran fired missiles at two (2) Iraqi Bases housing U.S Troops in retaliation for the killing of its top General. President Donald Trump on Thursday said he suspected the crash was not due to mechanical issues, indicating that "somebody could have made a mistake on the other side." Asked during a White House event what he thought happened to the plane, Trump said, "Well, I have my suspicions." Both Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also believe the Ukrainian Airliner was shot down by an Iranian Surface-to-Air Missile, based on intelligence. Trudeau said “this may have been unintentional” at a Press Conference in Ottawa on Thursday while Johnson released the following statement: There is now a body of information that the flight was shot down by an Iranian Surface to Air Missile. This may well have been unintentional. We are working closely with Canada and our international partners and there now needs to be a full, transparent investigation. Iranian investigators’ initial finding, released less than a day after the crash, was that a fire broke out due to a technical failure and the plane was trying to return to the Airport when it crashed. Iran’s Minister of Roads and Urban Development, Mohammad Eslami, said it was too early to speculate and that “rumours that a terrorist attack, explosion or shooting at the plane may have caused the incident” are “not true.”
