On monday morning unidentified forces launched two ground to air missiles near a Russian civilian airplane over Syria. The missiles did not hit the plan but exploded very close to the plane. No one was harmed in the explosion because the pilots maneuvered their way around the missiles. It was said that they detected battle action that could have caused harm to the 159 passengers on board. On Tuesday a source was informed of the plan was flying at 9800 meters when it was attacked. The first missile exploded at 9200 and the second at 8900, and immediately after the incident the plane was given permission to fly almost 1000 meters higher. Russian experts believe that there are no reasons to claim that the aircraft was a target. But other experts are suspicious of the maneuvering the pilots claimed to have done. Plans are usually attacked from the side or from above, that way a pilot could not see an attack. The plane couldn't have seen what was behind it, and the missile was moving at twice as fast the plane, making it impossible to have a reaction to do anything. It is suspected that this attack came from rebel forces.
