Has it been verified that it was shot down?. This is the 3rd aircraft Iran has claimed to have shot down (the other 2 were lies) and I heard claims a further plane was shot down after the 1 that did go down.
I'm sceptical because search and rescue teams have been operating all afternoon at reasonably low altitude and apart from footage of small arms firing at them, no losses, so the plane that did go down could have suffered some sort of failure.
Iran are now claiming to have hit 1 of the rescue helicopters with a projectile.
Probably be tomorrow before everything's verified.
