Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 Shot Down by Iranian Missile

On January 8, 2020, Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, a Boeing 737-800, tragically crashed near Shahriar, Iran, just minutes after takeoff from Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport. All 167 passengers and nine crew members on board were killed in this devastating incident.

The flight, destined for Kyiv, Ukraine, departed from Tehran's airport at approximately 06:11 local time. This takeoff was delayed by about one hour from its originally scheduled time. According to data recorded by flight tracking services like Flightradar24 and Flightaware, the aircraft was last observed at an altitude of about 7,900 feet, positioned around 20 kilometers west-northwest of the airport.

Shortly thereafter, the aircraft crashed near Shahriar, approximately 15 kilometers north of the airport. The crash occurred under circumstances that sparked immediate international concern and investigation, especially considering the geopolitical context of the region at that time. It was later revealed through investigations that the aircraft was unintentionally shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile. This tragic event escalated tensions between Iran, Ukraine, and several Western countries, leading to widespread demands for a comprehensive and transparent investigation into the circumstances of the crash.

Found another video..

It's from a security Cam that captures the impact from up close, shaking from the debris flying around and lighting the sky from the already burning plane nosediving into the ground

I'm not entirely sure what I see flying ahead of the rain of debris .. Looks like a propeller, but that's not possible since its a jet

Many photos show 'shrapnel' holes consistent with a missile.
