A wild guess..... " Unfortunately Gen. Soleimani gave an order for a missile test to check the readiness of Iranian missile defence forces but was sadly no longer in a position to issue the 'stand-down' instruction as originally intended".

Chinahand Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Not a unitary state, can’t maintain a monopoly over the gun. Those revolutionary guards are an entirely separate authority willing to launch expeditionary actions and missiles with little consolation with other branches of government. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The Pasdaran are the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. Although what threat a passenger jet leaving the country posed to the Islamic Revolution of Iran isn't immediately obvious. Well, not to me at any rate....

A cruise missile that had a transponder that identified it as a passenger jet? Don't think so. Clever idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manximus Aururaneus Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) There's a rumour that they could have been undergoing Transponder Conversion Therapy at the time hence attempting to operate under the radar.
