In their work, journalists relied on videos and photographs, stories of local residents, a report of the official commission to investigate the crash and the testimony of a certain air defense expert in Eastern Europe, the real name of which is not called.
As German journalists assure, Buk, from which Boeing was shot down, attributed to the 53rd Benile and Rocket Brigade based in Kursk. In their opinion, the military personnel of this brigade (possibly formally dismissed from the service) and served Buk on the day of the crash of the aircraft. As stated in the article, the rocket was launched from positions in the city of Snezhnoye, which is under the control of the separatists.
Correct! V journalists pay attention to the fact that the Boeing was amazed in front and on top, namely, according to their data, the “Earth-to-air” missile operates. The version that the passenger liner could be shot down by the air-to-air rocket is questioned in the investigation, since such missiles are brought to the target of targets. Also, the investigation does not say anything about any other complexes “Buk”, acting near the MH17 crash site.
The Russian side denies that Russian troops were introduced into the territory of Ukraine. According to the Russian military, Boeing could bring down the Ukrainian plane. In addition, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported the discovery of the Ukrainian complex "Buk", deployed in the village of Zaraschenskoye on the morning of July 17.
The investigation presented a convincing chain of evidence. It was the Buk M1 anti-aircraft missile system, the rocket of which was torn by a passenger plane in the sky. He was taken to a position from the Russian Kursk by members of the 53rd anti-aircraft missile brigade in order to protect Russian tank divisions, who fought in Ukrainian territory without identification marks.
