'Free Syrian Army' claimed shootdown of Iranian cargo aircraft - Video
Video of the FSyA claimed shootdown of an Iranian aircraft to DAM / OSDI as provided by Alarabiya news. Video is grainy and hard to discern other than a large aircraft on final encountering a sheet of flame. Waiting for confirmation on this claim.

Sun reflecting on the fuselage. If they had fired at it and scored a hit then they would have started chanting Allah Akbar.
This is the same old small plane grainy "video" that has been around since the Salafi terrorists started their ill-fated campaign over 2 years ago. It is either a Turkish studio job like most Youtube crap or that from the Iraq war. No reliable news agency is even touching this sheer desperate fabrication.
Airport officials have denied the incident. The video doesn't show the plane on fire.
We still need to confirm this, but a number of news outlets have carried the report, such as AP, Los Angeles Times. etc.
I have scanned all the puppet Turkish and Jordanian papers, including Zaman and there is NOTHING of this sort, including zilch on the global aviation sites. The only sad news coming out of Syria is the cowardly inhuman Salafi terrorist mortar attack on Damascus university students. Also there have been riots in Jordan and Turkey Salafi camps after some Syrian women were raped by Turkish soldiers and then firing on civilians and tear gas ensued. This news is a TOTAL CONCOCTION and I think this site can do better than Debka or Al-Arabia type desperate gossiping. I am glad that this was a non-event but Iranian pilots have have years of combat experience and now some fly civilian planes should deploy flares and do a cork-screw landing and airport approach as Damascus airport on the outskirts is quite exposed on an open plain and encroaching medium density urban sprawl. The Syrians should be deploying small anti-terrorist sniper teams all over South Damascus on high building and on the small hills around the City.
In any case it would be a very lucky shot by a Salafi terrorist SA-7/16 to bring down a large freighter like a 747 or IL-76. Even in the doctored video the plane survived and was able to land. This is just a psy-op to pressure Iran, but knowing Iranian psyche, it will have the opposite effect and only strengthen support for President Assad. Interestingly, the brave Syrian army has even cleared the Baba Amr terrorist haven in Homs fatally wounding the so-called FSA "general" who is now lying limbless in a Turkish military hospital.
Confirm your bias and your miserable propaganda.
Why are you guys so angry? Did you expect that Iran supplies arms to Syria regularly on such flights without any chance of its plane ever gets shot down? That’s actually a small cost of getting involved in another country’s civil war, for the right reasons or the wrong reasons, however you justify Iran’s involvement or not. This is a war, they don’t distribute candies, thousands of people have lost their lives, remember?

Actually we are not "angry" but very disappointed by this sites usual lack of veracity. Why create a fictitious incident based on Saudi propaganda which is part of their anti-Iran pimpdom deal with US/Zionists? Believe me, shooting down Iranian planes is not that easy or simple as the repercussions would overwhelm the pimpdoms and their Salafi terrorists. In any case this event NEVER HAPPENED and you should pay more attention to verification and authenticity of any "news", specially from a dubious news agency used by Wahabbi madrassa freaks or their Zionist masters whose only agenda is anti-Iran and anti-humanity.
I can now imagine how you would behave if you were angry! And by the way who's "we." Do you represent a group or a government? In any case, shooting down a Boeing cargo plane by armed militias is not as complicated as you imagine, and the Iranian leadership should be, and I am sure they have, calculated that risk in their decision to ship arms to Assad by these planes.
Our sources vary and include a whole spectrum of news agencies and publications, including all official and semi-official Iranian news agencies, as well as Western and Arab sources, and we have no intention to limit our coverage. Al-Arabiya ran this story based on FSA’s report. Could it be wrong, probably. We still need to confirm it. But note that independent confirmation of events in Syria, where the government has basically kicked out foreign journalists, is not as easy as you might imagine.
Although anonymous commentators like you have categorically denied the incident, probably more on political grounds than facts, we have not heard a word from the Iranian government or the state-run media, like Press TV, either confirming or denying the incident. Interesting!
