The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the fall of Boeing in Ukraine: the Su -25 flew in its direction, and the video with the Movement "Buk" - a nagging
The Russian Ministry of Defense spoke about the disaster that occurred several days ago with the Malaysian airliner Boeing 777. The department was skeptical of the statements that the Buk anti -aircraft missile system, which, as noted in Kyiv, can be knocked out by a passenger aircraft, transported from Ukraine to the territory of the Russian Federation. At the same time, representatives of the Ministry of Defense said that before the disaster they recorded the Ukrainian Su-25 attack aircraft, who allegedly flew towards Boeing.
The head of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Andrei Kartopolov, said: "A set of heights of the Air Force of Ukraine was recorded, its remoteness from the Malaysian Boeing was from three to five kilometers." He suggested that it was the Su-25.
"The Su -25 in its characteristics is able to reach a height of 10 kilometers. On its weapons are Air - Air - Air R -60, which can hit targets at a distance of 12 kilometers and guaranteed up to five kilometers, " Interfax quotes General.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation even has a video allegedly proving the version of the Su-25. “This is confirmed by video frames received by the Rostov observation center. We would like to get an answer to the question for what purpose the Ukrainian aircraft took a flight along the civilian highway and on the same echelon with the Malaysian Boeing,” the general concluded.
The chief of the General Staff of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Igor Makushev, recalled that "earlier Ukrainian officials reported that there were no Ukrainian military aircraft in the Air Protection on that day." “As you can see, it was wrong,” he said. According to him, the new air object at the place of destruction Boeing was discovered at 17:21:35 Moscow time. “This air object was steadily observed by the radar posts of Ust -Donetsk and Buturino for four minutes,” he said.
As Makushev emphasized, the attack aircraft was not discovered immediately, since the air situation controls the radar means of the on -duty mode with the possibilities for detecting more than five thousand meters at a flight altitude at a flight altitudes. Meanwhile, according to Reuters, the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko again emphasized that all Ukrainian aircraft in the disaster area were on Earth.
It is worth noting that earlier the versions of the Su-25 attack aircraft, who allegedly knocked down a passenger plane ( proposed , by the way, by separatists immediately after the disaster), many criticized. For example, journalist Ilya Bulavinov a few days ago invited the supporters of this theory "at least look into Wikipedia." Indeed, in an article on the Su-25, it was: "The maximum height of combat use: 5000 m". But we note that the article, apparently, is constantly being reigned, for example, at the time of writing a note at this point was 9000 meters.
However, experts also talk about the impossibility of using the SU-25 at an altitude of 10 thousand meters. So, in an interview with IA "IF Region" , a senior officer, a test pilot piloting the majority of modern Russian combat aircraft, said: "Practical ceiling" Rook "(nickname Su -25. - Approx. Newsru.com ) - 7000 meters, his" air - air ", so to speak, a maximum of 2000 meters. He could not physically pronounce Boeing ".
In Kyiv, they still say that there was no Ukrainian military aircraft near the Malaysian Boeing, Interfax reports. “There was not a single aircraft in the catastrophe zone,” said the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Andrei Parubiy.
The Russian Federation has records of the air situation, the location of Ukrainian air defense, the United States requires space pictures
According to Igor Makushev, the Russian side has a video recording of the air situation in the Disaster of the Malaysian Liner in the period from 17:19 to 17:25 Moscow time. During this period, a span on the international aircraft of three civil aircraft, including Boeing 777, was recorded.
"At 17:20, at a distance of 51 km from the state border of the Russian Federation, on the azimuth of 300 degrees, the aircraft began to lose speed sharply, which is clearly visible in the table of characteristics of the air object," Makushev said.
The head of the GOU of the Russian General Staff, Lieutenant General Andrei Kartapolov also spoke about other data, which, according to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, are related to disaster. "We have space pictures of certain places of location of air defense systems of the Ukrainian army in the southeast of the country," said a military official.
Kartapolov specified that the first three pictures were dated July 14. "The first picture shows the launches of the Buk air defense system in the region of eight kilometers northwest of Lugansk. In the picture you see well a self -propelled installation and two launching cars," Kartapolov noted. In another picture, radar stations near Donetsk are presented, he added.
Another picture shows the position of air defense equipment in the Donetsk area - a self -propelled fire installation, about 60 units of military and special equipment. “From the same area, the pictures are also taken on July 17. Please note that this launch set is absent. The picture number five shows that in the morning of the same day in the area of the village of Zarashchinskoye, which is 50 km east of Donetsk and 8 km south of Shakhtersk, the Buk battery was discovered,” Pictures of Kartapolov presented.
"The question arises, why the battery was in this area near the territory controlled by the militias, immediately before the tragedy? The shooting of this area, manufactured on July 18, showed that the battery left the previously held position," he concluded. It should be noted that earlier Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Anatoly Antonov formulated 10, according to him, “simple” questions, to which Moscow awaits the answer from Kyiv. A selection of articles on this topic can be viewed on the headlines website.
In particular, the deputy minister asked if official Kyiv could report all the details of the use of Buk systems in the combat area and what are the causes of the inaction of the Ukrainian authorities to form an international commission. Antonov is also interested in whether the data of objective control funds on moving the Air Force of Ukraine will be provided on the day of the tragedy of the International Commission, as well as why Ukrainian dispatchers allowed the aircraft deviations to the north.
Note that the data regarding the disaster in the sky over Ukraine is available not only in Russia. As Andrei Kartapolov announced, the United States should have space pictures taken on the day of the fall of the Malaysian aircraft. "According to US representatives, they have pictures from space confirming that the launch of the rocket in the direction of the Malaysian aircraft was taken by militias. But no one saw these pictures," he said.
Kartapolov told: "According to our calculations, from 17:06 to 17:21 Moscow time on July 17, the American spacecraft really flew over the southeastern regions of Ukraine. This is an apparatus of an experimental space system designed to detect and track launches of various range missiles." "If the American side has pictures from this satellite, they would ask them to provide them with the world community for a detailed study," the general said.
Meanwhile, the White House responded to the request of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, not excluding the possibility of publishing the relevant pictures, RIA Novosti reports. “I can’t offer specific exploration assessments now. Naturally, we may be able to do it on the coming days,” the representative of the White House Josh Ernest said at a briefing.
This issue was also commented by the Deputy Head of the press service of the US State Department Marie Harf, ITAR-TASS reports. “There is public information, but there is not public information. We publish as much information as we can,” the State Department said. Harf also emphasized that she does not have sufficient admission to secret information.
Recall that earlier US Secretary of State John Kerry talked about the evidence that the United States has about the involvement of the separatists in the fall of Boeing. “Everything indicates that these were separatists,” Kerry said, noted that the missile installation from which the fire was opened by the airliner was delivered from Russia. “We know for sure that in the last month, a large batch of weapons entered Ukraine from Russia,” Kerry said. “A few weeks ago, a convoy was sent with 150 units of military equipment.”
Kerry said that the United States has a radio interception of separatists' negotiations about the transfer of the Buk anti-aircraft missile system from Russia. The diplomat also stated that the United States "saw a video" leaving towards the border with Russia with a minimum of the missing missile.
Video about the transportation of "Buk" to Russia to the Ministry of Defense was called a tank
Meanwhile, the General Staff of the Russian Federation calls the facts about the alleged movement of the Buk-M1 launcher from Ukraine to the territory of Russia, ITAR-TASS reports. "There is a clear stitching of materials. Pictures were carried out in the city of Krasnoarmeysk, which is confirmed by located near the road banner, which indicates the address of the car dealership on 34 Dnepropetrovskaya Street," said Andrei Kartapolov.
He emphasized that Krasnoarmeysk has been under the control of the Ukrainian army since May 11. Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Arsen Avakov, on his Facebook page, published a video of the transportation, presumably, from which you can bring down a plane flying at an altitude of 10 thousand meters. He indicates that one of the missiles at the Buk is not visible. According to him, the tractor moved towards the border with Russia.
The 12-second video was published on the channel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine on YouTube and collected more than 1.5 million views. It is worth noting that it is very difficult to make out any inscriptions in the video: an advertising shield, which, apparently, refer to the Ministry of Defense, is visible and, probably, is generally an advertisement for the car. On the other hand, in Krasnoarmeysk there really is Dnepropetrovskaya Street with a motor center at the specified address. However, this is not a direct evidence that the “beech” moved not towards the Russian border.
