In order to maintain some kind of respectable thread quality and to show some respect for those who lost friends in this tragedy, we're forced to enact a hard line policy for this thread. Any posts holding an opinion on who is responsible or making an accusation that is not held by neutral media will be banned. Policy is in effect from page 27 onwards. Specifically, citing a Ukrainian or Russian source for your claims is going to get you banned. Opinions/facts/accusations arising from neutral media sources (i.e. media whose country of origin is not Ukraine, Russia or one of its puppet states) will be permitted. This policy extends to all forms of media; if a youtube video or picture has not come through a neutral media source then don't post it or you'll be banned. If you wish to discuss this policy please use this website feedback thread. Updated policy on aggressive posting and insults. | ||

This would not have happened if there was peace in that region, and if there was not a renewed military operation taking place. I am asking the Russian government to use the resources of its civilian agencies to thoroughly investigate this event. We must do everything possible to produce an unbiased reconstruction of the events and make it available to our people, to the people of Ukraine and the world. Such things are totally unacceptable and everyone must make conclusions, and the objective information must be made available." + Show Spoiler [Source (in Russian)] + http://www.gazeta.ru/social/news/2014/07/18/n_6319525.shtml That was an audacious spin move. | ||

At least six British nationals were on board Malaysian flight MH17, which was shot down on Thursday with the expected loss of all 295 passengers and crew on board. The number was revealed by the chief executive of Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, Jos Nijuis, who said that six British nationals were known to be among the 295 people on board the Boeing 777-200 - although the nationalities of more than 90 people have yet to identified. Philip Hammond, the recently-promoted foreign secretary, said that he believed Britons on board but he did not have detailed information as to who they were or the exact number. Source | ||

I know for sure that Ukrainian army is far better equipped to take down a plane flying 10 km above the ground. Why? To blame on the civilians they fight against. | ||

Its not that simple, you need serious equipment and facilities to get it back to operational. | ||

That the equipment used was from the same batch of equipment that the SBU said was disabled 2. That the equipment could not have been repaired in separatist territory 3. That the equipment could not have been repaired in the two and a half week time frame since the rebels acquired it. | ||

Shot down at an altitude of 11,000 meters "- a formulation that already fell into tops international news. Year 2001 - during the exercise with the peninsula of Crimea Ukrainian military shot down airliner airline" Siberia. "66 passengers and 12 crew members followed from Tel Aviv to Novosibirsk. all died. The footage videorekonstruktsii - Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile S-200. Tu-154 is overtaken in the sky over the Black Sea. Plane ripped into several pieces, fragments scattered on the water basin. In such a rocket your, company, handwriting: striking effect of the blast wave is enhanced by small fractions. Fact is Ukraine shot down Russian airline 'Siberia' plane 13 years ago! No one in this thread mentioned this but one of first post was mentioning USSR shutting down Korean plane - pathetic. | ||

It has anti air weaponry because its in a state of emergency and had the Russian military on the border recently, would be stupid not to have some defences ready just in case the worst happens. | ||

Exactly. There was a time very recently when we thought Russia might invade Ukraine. Those air defenses would have come in quite handy in that situation. | ||

You need only one anti-air vehicle to shoot down a civilian plane. You believe 'nobody' who reported that plane was shot down from the ground? Yet no name of source was mentioned, all they say is 'official' and that means 'nobody'. Ukrainian army doesn't have anti-air system near Russian border - are you kidding me? | ||
