Russian air launched cruise missile wreckage (Kh-101 or Kh-555) near Shoush, South West Iran. Quite funny to see the Iranian military and press go into full denial mode after the initial reports.
They are now reporting it as a
homegrown aircraft shot down by the local forces as part of an exercise.
Same "577" stencil as previous cruise missile wreckage in Syria.
