There is a photo of a Russian Tor missile tip in the debris not shown here. But like MH17 similarities emerge. storyful.com/resources/blog…
Here is a little more on the Tor missile part found at another location in Parand that syncs with the flight path and crash location. Now being bulldozed to clean it up I guess. bellingcat.com/news/mena/2020…
Social media is humming with the technology not so much the moral impact of this event. Iran still maintains innocence but forensics say that someone in control of sophisticated Russian SAMs fired at least one missile at a easy to identify commercial aircraft. Why?
Mea Culpa: By the way the Tor fragment is not the "tip". It is midway. But the SAM system overall is a serious piece of Russian hardware designed to shoot down fast movers. Positioned in an odd place too. Near a built up suburb which I guess is not so odd for the Iranians.
