The missiles were fired 30 seconds apart and explain why the plane’s transponder was not working. It was disabled by the first strike, before being hit by a second.
Iran earlier for many days denied the claims that the Boeing 737 had been downed by its missiles. Later the country agreed that a missile operator had mistaken the Ukraine International Airlines plane for a cruise missile and opened fire.
