The American F-15E fighter jet that was shot down in southwestern Iran last month was likely hit by a Chinese-made shoulder-fired missile. This was reported by the American NBC network, citing three sources with knowledge of the matter. One of the sources said that China may have supplied Iran with a long-range early warning radar capable of detecting stealth aircraft as early as the first days of the war. It was also noted that U.S. officials are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the downing of the aircraft, and that it is unclear when the military equipment was transferred from China to Iran.
