Iran's Air Defense System Mistakenly Shot Down Its Own F-4 Fighter Jet Near Kermanshah

According to unconfirmed information, an Iranian F-4 fighter was mistakenly shot down by Iranian air defense in the Kermanshah region. There is no data confirming the incident yet, but the Simorgh News agency reports that a military aircraft crashed near Mount Bistun.

According to eyewitnesses, after the incident, security forces immediately blocked the section of the road from Bistun to Dinevar, restricting traffic for the operation. Local residents confirm that security services and the military are working at the site, but there are no official comments yet on the causes and consequences of the plane crash.

Iran's air defense system remains imperfect, with a number of vulnerabilities in detecting and intercepting modern high-speed and stealth targets, reducing its effectiveness against advanced air threats. Given the mountainous region, the aircraft could well have been identified as a hostile target.
