    Default Iranian made AAA downed the turkey plane

    Looks like some more of that photoshop stuff turned out to be real. Oops.

    Hi StateMachine,
    Thanks for the post, just for your information, there is already a dedicated thread to the downing of the Turkish plane http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums...close-to-Syria. Perhaps it would be better posted there?
    On a personal curiosity- I notice your Profile location is stated as Houston, Tx. Question- If a war broke out between the USA and Iran, who would you be rooting for? Just curious, thanks again for the post.

    Doesn't really matter who made it, matters more who fired it.

    Perhaps. But as this forum loves a p*ssing match between iranian photoshop tech vs western real ware I figured I'd oblige.

    I hope for no war. And if that means the iranians have to arm themselves to the gullet with weapons that can deter another clusterf*ck like Iraq then so be it. The USG is completely separate from the American countrymen. I have no dog in its misadventures for who-knows-whose interests.

    This news was posted already.
    In any case, if this is proven true, Erdogan should bring this issue to the UNSC. (Iran is forbidden to export weapons under chapter 7 resolution.)

    Who knows what it was that hit that F-4..

    Who knows what it was that went deep into Syria, bombed some 'innocent hotel' somewhere in their innocent desert in 2007...... and we all know what it was that didn't stop this bombing....

    So you say that it isn't possible that in the five last years Syria might have imported some new tech?
