That is exactly the problem. At first some iranian military said human civilian and military control were sitting side by side in the tower, so there could be no accidental firing by them.
Could it be there was lacking control on the autonomous 9K330 Tor unit?

OT just read about an autonomous vaccuum cleaner robot. The inventor wanted to make it faster, so he shifted the priorities in the fuzzy logic 'brain' of the device. The outcome was that the robot now rammed chairs and tables backwards, at full speed.
The reason was that the cleaner was much faster going backwards, so it 'decided' (followed orders) to use that gear for more speed. Unfortunately it had no backward sensors.
But from nuclear plants to weapons systems, all is failsafe. Especially when automated. Say the creators.
