American F-15 fighters attempted to intercept and shoot down an Iranian passenger airliner over Syria.

On the eve of the evening, the US Air Force F-15 fighters, having bypassed all air defense systems located in Syria, were able to get unnoticed to the Iranian passenger avalayer Airbus A310. The incident took place over a part of Syria that is actively controlled by the Russian and Syrian military, however, it remains unknown why the combat aircraft remained unnoticed by air defense systems, and after their appearance, no measures were taken.

“The F-15 fighter of the US Air Force interfered with the flight of an Iranian airline Mahan Air from Tehran to Beirut in Syrian airspace. Dangerous maneuvers of the American plane forced the crew commander of the Iranian plane to perform an emergency maneuver, which led to injuries among passengers who were evacuated by doctors after landing in Beirut. Tehran confirmed the fact of the incident that took place in the area of ​​the American military base at-Tanf, and reported that the fighters (a pair of F-15s were working) identified themselves as aircraft of the US Air Force "- sources say.

The data on the number of victims has not yet been officially announced, nor has the reason for this behavior of the US Air Force, as well as the inaction of the Syrian and Russian forces on the territory of the Arab republic, been disclosed.
