I call bullshit on the claim that the aircraft turned towards a sensitive military base. The aircraft is under control the tower when taking off and then is handed off to departure control once airborne. There are standard departure routes that departing aircraft fly. I find it hard to believe that any of the standard departure routes would go directly over a sensitive military installation. Further I find it hard to believe that the pilot would fly a particular path without orders to do so by departure control.
Air traffic control in the U.S. has switched from ground radar based to satellite based. Is that true everywhere?
Anybody know?
Agree. And the Iranian missile operation couldn’t distinguish between a passenger plane, with its distinctive shape, and transformer, taking off from their own airport, and a cruise missile incoming from abroad?
(And for the last week, we’ve been bombarded by reports from so-called experts on TV, telling us how formidable Iranian missile technology was, with pin-point accuracy?)
I’m up to my neck in BS.
