kaur--had this on the military thread yesterday----
More and more evidence is even "leaking out of Russia" concerning the shooting down of MH17--question is if individuals inside the Putin inner circle including the Russian Defense Minister end up being charged for the shot down--HOW will Russia respond??
Another interesting point is that this has been driven by social media open source analysts from the very beginning who were bascially from the start totally correct down to the exact Russian BUK per number that fired the misssile AND nothing was ever provided by any western intel agency--just how strange is that??
Novaya Gazeta posted leaked report by Russian engineers which proves that MH17 was shot down by BUK M-1
http://www.novayagazeta.ru/inquests/68332.html …
Published a report from Russian experts (not propaganda) that BUK downed #MH17.
Was fired from S. of v.Zaroshenskoe
Approximate coordinates where the BUK was fired: 2.5-3.5km radius, 47.979855, 38.448580
NOW watch the Russian media and their trolls "spin" the story back to the already debunked "it was an Ukrainian BUK"--taking online bets on exactly how long it takes them from the release of an evidently very accurate Russian analysis of the shot down????????
Interesting question is why was it released now??? After attempting to pin it on a Ukrainian ground attack fighter SU-25--maybe trying to get ahead of the Dutch investigation results and pending charges.
Social media is now starting to tear apart the Russian report and noticing problems which all now point to attempting to bending the narrative back to the Ukrainian BUK as being responsible for the shot down of MH17.
Isn't the firing position a long way away from the scorched field? and would also be on the wrong side of the plane to the damage
I am noob in SAMs, but from that village you can't approach the plane from the front. So more likely you right
With the Kremlin's admission that the SU-25 thing was always bunk, I mourn the end of Voloshin, the Spaniard, BBC witnesses, radar photos...
I was wrong. There will always be diehard fans of ole' SU-25 over Ukrainian Buk, like vinyl enthusiasts over CDs.

kaur---BLUF-----the Russians have at least admitted it was a BUK that shot down MH17 since the Dutch all but proved that and now they are trying to get ahead of the Dutch AND blame the Ukrainians again as the Dutch are coming with official murder and crimes against humanity charges that could go as high as Putin himself or at the least the Russian MoD.
At least admitting it was a BUK is a step forward for Putin and company.
