About two years ago, Ukraine International flight PS752 was shot down shortly after taking off from Tehran. A Canadian court has now ruled that Iran must pay $ 83 million to the bereaved with Canadian citizenship.

On January 8, 2020, the Boeing 737-800 UR-PSR was shot down by two anti-aircraft missiles shortly after taking off from Tehran. The 167 passengers and nine crew members had no chance and were killed. Iran initially denied this, but admitted the shooting down from January 11, 2020. The passenger plane was mistaken for a cruise missile.

In Canada, the state of Iran was sued for damages. The Ontario Superior Court awarded the bereaved a total of $ 83 million. However, there is a problem due to the international sanctions, because in the event of non-payment, the judgment will be very difficult to enforce.
