Also commentary and denial from Radio Moscow as recorded from Philadelphia on September 13, 1983 at 17:15 hours GMT. Moscow later admitted shooting down the jet. In 1991, the fighter pilot admitted that the plane did have strobe lights on and he recognized it as a civilian airliner. 269 people were killed.
