False Flag? Fmr CIA Officer Suggests US Hacked Ukrainian Plane Transponder To Provoke Iran Shootdown
Sat, 01/18/2020 - 23:00

Philip Giraldi, a former counter-terrorism specialist and military intelligence officer of the CIA, penned a piece in the American Herald Tribune speculating that the U.S. launched several cyber-attacks, one on an Iranian missile defense system, and another on the transponder of the doomed Ukrainian plane.

Giraldi explains the Iranian missile operator experienced extreme "jamming" and Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752's transponder was switched off several minutes before the two Russian made Tor missiles were launched.

"The shutdown of the transponder, which would have automatically signaled to the operator and Tor electronics that the plane was civilian, instead automatically indicated that it was hostile. The operator, having been particularly briefed on the possibility of incoming American cruise missiles, then fired," he said.

Giraldi said the Tor missile system used by Iran is vulnerable to being hacked or "spoofed," and at the same moment, Flight 752's transponder was taken offline "to create an aviation accident that would be attributed to the Iranian government."

The Pentagon has reportedly developed technologies that can trick enemy radars with false and deceptively moving targets, he said.

"The same technology can, of course, be used to alter or even mask the transponder on a civilian airliner in such a fashion as to send false information about identity and location. The United States has the cyber and electronic warfare capability to both jam and alter signals relating to both airliner transponders and to the Iranian air defenses. Israel presumably has the same ability," Giraldi said.

Iran made the claim Wednesday that "enemy sabotage" cannot be ruled out in the downing of the plane.

Iranian Brigadier General Ali Abdollahi suggested the U.S. hacked missile defense systems to make it appear Flight 752 was an incoming missile.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also accused the U.S. of being responsible for the downing of the plane, saying that:

"The root of all sorrows goes back to America... this cannot be a reason for us not to look into all the root causes."

He added that:

"One cannot believe that a passenger plane is struck near an international airport while flying in a [commercial] flight channel," after previously saying that IRGC commanders were not the only ones involved in the plane downing, noting that "There were others, too."

The Iranian parliament also stated that "we are in powerful confrontation with the criminal U.S. and do not allow a mistake… to pave the ground for misusing the issue by the enemies."

Giraldi concludes by saying electronic warfare by the U.S. to bring down a civilian jet and blame it on Iran "suggests a premeditated and carefully planned event" to create a false flag for the next world war.

US Empire is responsible for the downing of the plane, not IR Iran.

BTW yet another reason to ditch US made Boeing.

You cannot shoot down an aircraft just because it squawk a certain code. It also depends on profile.

Bear in mind the airliner was literally just take off from Tehran International, the aircraft profile will be outbound (as in leaving Iran) and climbing, which would suggest a civilian take off profile. Which is not exactly the profile you look for form an incoming US aircraft. Unless you are suggesting that contact is a US aircraft taking off from Tehran International Airport, which is exactly what Ukrainian International Airline 752 was doing.

You don't need half a brain to see there are something off if a plane squawking US military code making a take off profile from an Iranian Airport. Anyone who fire on those criteria should not be in charge of national defence to begin with.

It is easy to prove that this is a lie, since the last location reported by the transponder is public information and available on Flightradar24. That is the location where the missile hits the flight. If the transponder was turned off 2 minutes before, then the flight would be hit 9 km after the transponder shut down.
Yet another Troll thread. Luckily this conspiracy theory is easily disproven.
Yet again I think that fake news should be a banning offense.
@waz suggest you delete or close this thread.

Iran government is retarded and equally responsible. In war like situation, who the **** lets civilian flights take off.

Exactly! Hey lets leave our civilian airports open, alert our defensive missile batteries that we are going to do a missile attack so be ready to shootdown anything that moves in the sky in response...what could go wrong??

Google earth has removed satellite images of last 10 years of Iraqi airbase al Assad . I think America is hiding some thing from their public.

You are right ... further it depends upon the training and professionalism of air defence units but in recent escalations around the world (also consider Feb 27 escalation of India/Pak) this is not the case and needs improvement in training.

You should stop trolling. Flightradar24 is not trustworthy.

USA is known liar. USA was caught hiding casualities:

Eleven US Servicemen Injured in Iran Missile Response to Soleimani Assassination
05:20 17.01.2020(updated 19:34 17.01.2020)

Tensions flared again in the Middle East, after the Trump administration on 3 January assassinated top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad, prompting Iran to fire missiles towards two Iraqi bases hosting US troops; in Erbil and near the Iraqi capital on 8 January. The Pentagon initially denied any casualties from the attack.

Captain Bill Urban, spokesman for US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed earlier reports that 11 US servicemen were injured as a result of the attack that took place on 8 January. The servicemen were treated for concussion symptoms - 8 have been transported to Landstuhl Regional Medical Centre in Germany, and three more to Camp Arifjan in Kuwait.

The attacker dont need to deceive flightradar24 users, only need to deceive TOR operator.
The attacker could transmit a spoofed ACARS false information about the flight only to the TOR battery.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoofing_attack
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACARS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directional_antenna

There are reports of TOR operator cant contact with outside, that scenario is compatible with the information in this thread. A malicious attacker could was jamming TOR operator communications in order to deceive him.

It is easy to prove that this is a lie, since the last location reported by the transponder is public information and available on Flightradar24. That is the location where the missile hits the flight. If the transponder was turned off 2 minutes before, then the flight would be hit 9 km after the transponder shut down.

You are forgetting the possibility of more obvious problems like
  • The operator not affixing enough stamps on the letter he sent to his commander.
  • The letter was stuck in the inbox of the censoring authorities.
  • The cat ate the message.
  • The Airpods in the operators ears were too loud.
