The Iranian Civil Aviation Administration confirmed that two Tor missiles shot down a Ukrainian plane on January 8, killing all 176 people.

"Investigators found two Tor-M1 rockets that had hit the plane," the Iranian Civil Aviation Administration made a preliminary announcement on its website late January 20. The announcement also stated that an investigation was underway to assess the impact of the missile in the accident.

The Boeing 737-800 of Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) was hit on the morning of January 8 after taking off from Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) admitted to mistakenly firing the plane because it was mistakenly an American cruise missile.

A video posted by an Iranian user on YouTube on January 14 shows a Boeing 737-800 hit by two rockets before landing on the outskirts of Tehran. The footage shows the second rocket hitting the Boeing 737-800 about 23 seconds after the first attack, but both shells did not cause the plane to fall immediately. The plane tried to turn back to Tehran airport, but a few minutes later caught fire and fell down.

Countries whose citizens have died include Canada, Ukraine, Sweden, Afghanistan and the United Kingdom on January 16 issued a five-point cooperation plan with Iran, urging Tehran to allow "foreign officials to have full and unacceptable access." obstruction "during the incident investigation. Investigators in Ukraine and Canada arrived in Iran, having access to debris of the Boeing and the location of the plane.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko said Tehran was actively cooperating in investigating the accident, saying an Iranian official would come to Ukraine next week to apologize for the accident and give an explanation. Iran will deliver the black box of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft that was shot by mistake to Ukraine's capital Kiev. US, Canadian and French experts will have access to data in the device.

Tor-M1 is a short-range air defense system developed by the Soviet Union in 1975 and put into service in 1986. Iran received 29 Russian Tor-M1 systems in 2006 in a contract worth $ 700 million. These complexes were commissioned in 2007, becoming one of Tehran's most modern air defense complexes.

Experts say the nervousness, fear of the United States launching cruise missiles with the poor skills of Iranian air defenses and poor coordination ability has led to the tragedy of the wrong shot. Iran has claimed to have taken some of the people responsible for the incident, but has not released its identity.
