Iran used Fateh-313 surface-to-surface missiles in the recent attacks, some media reported they launched 313 missiles which got to they launched hundreds of missile.
But if the footage is real it was not a malfunction. Planes don't catch in fire in the air like that.
But not sure if the footage is old rehashed footage yet or not.
- p_l 7y agoTurbine and compressor blades can cause just that. Sometimes they also cut through control lines. Sometimes they just depressurize cabin in a way that kills passenger. Recent 737-800 had two accidents confirmed to be caused by disintegrating compressor (or was it fan itself?).
- aaron695 7y agoWhat would explain the multiple holes in the pieces of wreckage? It was hit or was part of a large explosions of some kind. "the images coming out of Tehran of the downed Ukrainian 737-800 looks to have frag damage." https://twitter.com/LostWeapons/status/1214803481782915072 https://twitter.com/LostWeapons/status/1214803481782915072 If it was a accident, it seems something we have not seen the likes of. Engine failure fits though, with multiple mistakes. Given it was during a war, it more likely fits it was part of that war.
- p_l 7y agoRuptured turbine/compressor disks are known to throw, ahh, "interesting" shrapnel. And having experienced first hand how crazy the shrapnel can be from much lower speed helicopter main rotor... BTW, blade disks disintegrating had, in past, done things like completely cut all steering other than ailerons, and other "nice" damage.
