Or quickly removed the launch equipment, keep schtum, deny everything, like MH17. It would not be the first time such a mistake has happened - not least Iran Air 655 which showed incompetence in a supposedly sophisticated US naval force. Why would you be surprised that Iranian government forces that you strangely appear to hold in such high regard would or could be incompetent?
Has the 737 Max debacle shown Boeing to be competent? Discuss.
People make mistakes. Bad mistakes. The consequences can be horrific.
