US releases unclassified missile trajectory flight and it is not from an Ukrainian Buk---let's see how mirhond spins this one as well as Putin and the Russian AF General.
Ukrainian SSU has released a voice intercept of a Russian officer who fired the missile and his cell call back to a Russian officer in Moscow informing him that an aircraft had been acquired--waiting to see if the Ukrainians release it this evening.

Biggus---here is a link to the German site Focus---half way down is a tweet with the missile trajectory indicating as you had previously mentioned the missile came directly head on against the planes' flight path---that would explain the shrapnel in the cockpit area of the debris. It would have detonated lower and in front of the plane spraying the front of the plane, some of the sides and bottom of the aircraft--engines would have been hit a well causing secondary shrapnel. Frontal hit was even from a Russian mercenary himself who reported on his twitter account a lot of blood in the cockpit area which would indicated the pilots took a full hit from the shrapnel.
Missile is also fired from a location where no Ukrainian military unit is located meaning no Ukrainian Buk systems--so it will be interesting on how the Russian AF General, and Putin spins this.
Will be more interesting to see how the EU takes this.
