Reply With QuoteHmm what like RAAF Fairbairn and Canberra Airport and the Joint Headquarters, like Darwin Airport and its military use, like RAAF Williamtown and Newcastle Airport, NAS Nowra and Nowra Airport.Originally Posted by 4bee
Cynical Moi?
A statement read on state television said the airliner had flown close to a sensitive military site and parties responsible for shooting down the jet would be held accountable.
Why would they have a "Sensitive Military Site" so close to a runway where passengers in every aircraft, Taking off & Landing could sticky beak over the fence?? If not a visual matter then why the unnecessary action?
Sounds like more ME Bull****/Cover up/Whitewash stuff.
Will we ever know & can prove who actually gets kicked in the ballcocks or is enjoying a 2/5 year Mediterranean Holiday paid for by Iran although more likely the blood of the deceased?
AKA Rainbow Warrior in NZ where the guilty culprits apparently lived it up on a Pacific French Possession Island for a few years courtesy of the French Gubmint & then eventually drifted back to La Belle France..

SubscriberThe Americans have known since the incident that it was an Iranian missile that bought the plane down. They also knew well before the missile attack on Iraq bases when and where it was going to happen. Sigint and chatter from Iran warned them. They merely moved all personnel right out of the area, or into secure bunkers. The airline tragedy was unplanned. I guess we'll never know why commercial aircraft weren't grounded or diverted to different flight paths. 176 innocent people were the collateral damage of arrogant pig headed men . The US Space Based Infra Red System, or airborne radar[ perhaps even the RAAF aircraft currently in the area] would have tracked the launch of the ground to air missiles.

I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

Cynical Moi?
Yeah like those I suppose, 101, never seen them. Probably not much to see except a few various types of antennas but then Oz wouldn't use that proximity as an excuse to justify the shooting down of an Airliner.
So if there was bugger all to see why were the Iranians being so touchy & use that as an excuse? Like I said, ME Bull**** & covering there arses.

SubscriberI think they were doing what you say. But then, so would any one else in the same situation. And besides, there is history here.

There is a Revolutionary Guard base near the airport, according to the maps.

SubscriberThe Revolutionary Guard are known for being loose. Brave, but ill disciplined and poorly trained. And prone to getting over excited.

I suppose it's logical to have air defences next to your main airport.
The guards are known for being extremists who were willing to sacrifice themselves in human waves during the war with Iraq, in contrast with the regular army.
The Iranian leadership sounds genuinely contrite about this downing, which is understandable as 82 Iranians died and their families would be demanding justice.
The moderates in the leadership had managed to curb the radicals and restrain their response to Trump's assassination of their number 2, which can't have been easy. The hot heads would have been demanding blood. Then the hot heads shot down a civilian airliner.
This downing might actually strengthen the moderates, which would be good. They are so close to achieving their aim of getting the Yanks out of Iraq, which is also what Trump has promised his supporters.
Imagine if the situation had been the opposite and the American Vice President had been assassinated. They would have gone nuts and bombed every possible target. The Iranians have been very restrained, really.
