Shocking video: Iran IL-76 plane crash filmed from C-130 Hercules

Previously-unseen video footage has surfaced online, allegedly showing the crash of an Iranian military jet at an air show two years ago. It captures the moment the Ilyushin IL-76MD military plane falls to earth and explodes, after a mid-air collision with F-5E Tiger II. The haunting video was filmed by the crew of a C-130 that was filming the refuelling of an F-4 Phantom II. The planes were taking part in the September 22, 2009 air show and parade just outside Tehran. All seven crewmembers on board the IL-76MD were killed in the crash.

The Iranians are flying f-4 Phantoms? And they want a war with the U.S.? Sounds like time for Raptors to clean house.

@Blain1971 Actually, they don't want a war with anyone. It's the U.S. and Israel who are provoking the Iranians and wanting to declare war.

@Blain1971 Yeah lol, what the fuck is that shit?

@SubZero1703 That is why you rain thousands of missiles down on their SAM sites and radar sites, then you being in the bombers. Besides, those S-200 batteries Iran has are 30 year old technology, and they are mismatched with American and Soviet radar equipment that isn't really compatible. Invading Iran would hurt the U.S. in so many ways, that doesn't mean it still wouldn't steam roll the Iranian military in a couple weeks

@LVRonPaul They will be a threat to everyone's national security if USA persist in being aggressors , you forgot the damage that can be done by a country like this on your own doorstep, Iran is by all means no Iraq.

@andytothesky ?????? US promote Peace ? Sorry what planet are you from ?

[SubZero1703]

@Blain1971 Are you for real with a comment like that ? F-22 cant dodge 11,000 AA missile sites dude.

[andytothesky]

@LVRonPaul actually the US is promoting peace, Israel on the other hand is blowing up all the nuclear scientists

@Blain1971 You shouldn't use profanity when someone's trying to engage in a civil discussion, but I shouldn't have expected anything constructive from you. But, best of luck to you, friend. Hope you see the light...someday. Cheers.

[Blain1971]

@LVRonPaul Oh and one last thing, I really hate politicians and those who worship them so from now on I will be ignoring any further messages from you, but have fun anyway. Or not, I really dont give a shit.

[Blain1971]

@LVRonPaul #1 I am not your friend. #2 Since you seem to admire a politician so much it is evident my eyes are more open than yours. #3 My knowledge of history is also evidently more than yours if you cannot see what is front of your face. But that is not your fault. You just tow the party line and take what the politicians tell you as truth without using your own mind. Please think of a witty reply, or have Ron come up with one for you. Goodbye, and I will not wish you good luck. Sorry.
