Apparently Strelkov took credit for downing a ``cargo plane'' today. What did they use? | ||

Ok I guess it was a #conspiracy by Ukraine to shoot down the plane to blame it on the rebels, right? | ||

Only rebels have shot down planes. Ukraine army haven't. Why? Becoz rebels don't have airforces. How then suddenly ukraine shoots big plane down from 10km height when it flew long time in ukraine airspace? (Plane came from west ukraine) | ||

So what about the cargo plane they claim they shot down earlier today? Or was that a different plane? Also, its not out of the question that they "acquired" weapons that are capable of shooting down a plane at that altitude. | ||

Bodies and wreckage found near Grabovo Dozens of bodies and broken pieces of wing with MH17 colors have been found near the town of Grabovo, according to a Reuters correspondent. Dozens of bodies were scattered around the smouldering wreckage of a passenger jet that crashed in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, a Reuters reporter said. An emergency services rescue worker said at least 100 bodies had so far been found at the scene, near the village of Grabovo, and that debris from the wreckage was scattered across an area up to about 15km (nine miles) in diameter. Broken pieces of the wings were marked with blue and red paint – the same colours as the emblem of the Malaysian airline which lost track of a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur that was carrying almost 300 people. https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/489813136862887936/photo/1 http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/17/malaysia-airlines-plane-crashes-ukraine-live | ||

Didnt they boast having such capabilities? Plus they did report shooting down a plane. And the kiev has no interest shooting at any plane, which can only be their own or russian (which they really have no interest in shooting down). | ||

Most likely it was the rebels with the captured SAM system from Ukraine military forces. In order to operate a SA-11 you need special training. Beside that its very likely it had radar support for target acquisition and tracking. Somebody shouted orders into a telephone to make this happen. If only these people checked the aircraft IFF (Identification friend or foe) they could have known. | ||
