Russian planes ...

During last 9 days, Iran faced 2 air crisis. Both incidents were Russian planes crashing, once in the middle of the sky and the other one while landing ... This is a cartoon from Iranian newspapers ... Don't get me wrong, there was no resign of any kind ... All those great people in charge who led around 180 Iranians to death are sitting on their seats safe and enjoying their salary ...
