- American officials are investigating the downing of the plane due to enemy fire.
The war and conflict between America and Iran in the Middle East has been going on for a long time, to end which peace talks are going on rapidly between the two sides. However, meanwhile a report has come out in which it is feared that Iran has shot down an F-15 fighter plane of the US Air Force by attacking a missile made in China.
A US F-15E Strike Eagle fighter plane that crashed over southwestern Iran during the conflict between the two countries last month was probably hit by a Chinese-made shoulder-fired missile, reports claimed.
What did China give to Iran as help?
According to NBC News report, China may have also provided additional military help to Iran during the conflict. It also included stealth aircraft technology and long-range radar systems. US officials said these systems could have improved Iran’s ability to detect and monitor advanced fighter aircraft such as the F-15E Strike Eagle.
What did Trump say after the plane fell?
According to the report, at that time US President Donald Trump had said that the plane was targeted by a shoulder-fired missile, also known as MANPADS. These are small and portable missile systems, which a person can carry on his shoulder and fire at planes flying at low altitude. Their length is about 7 feet and weight is about 40 pounds.
Search operation continued for 36 hours after plane crash
According to the report, after the fall of the US Air Force fighter plane, an extensive search operation of 36 hours was conducted to find its crew. American officials are still investigating how this plane was shot down in April last month. This incident is being considered very important because it may be the first time in many decades that an American fighter plane has been shot down by enemy fire.
