The expert admitted the crash of a US tanker as a result of a mid-air collision

Iran could have provoked a collision between two US tanker planes, in which the KS-135 crashed in western Iraq. This was announced on March 13 by the Honored military pilot, Major General Vladimir Popov.

"Air defense missiles could provoke a maneuver in the air. The planes, when they saw that missiles were working on them, began to move away from the strike along with the refueled aircraft. They immediately detach themselves and begin to maneuver, gain altitude or descend sharply down, to the left, to the right. The randomness of these movements could lead to a collision of aircraft. They were scared, roughly speaking," Popov said in an interview with the newspaper. aif.ru .
