Slice "Buk"

At the site of the Boeing-777 disaster in the Donbass, fragments of the missile of the Buk anti-aircraft complex were discovered. This was reported by the Dutch television channel RTL News.

Fragments were found and taken with him by journalist Yerun Ackermans, who visited the disaster in November 2014. The circumstances of the find were documented. Experts from Germany, Great Britain and Poland took part in the study of fragments. They came to the conclusion that these are fragments of the 9M317 missile, which equipped the Buk complex.

One of the fragments, judging by the chemical analysis, is part of the warhead, the second is part of the rocket body. The remaining fragments found by a journalist relate to the plane.

RTL promised to transfer the fragments of the commission found, which conducts an investigation of the disaster. The representative of the commission said that the material found will be included in material evidence after a thorough verification.

"The investigation of the disaster is in full swing, and it is based on many other sources, not only on such fragments. Additional material for research can only be welcomed, but it is important to exclude all doubts that there is a connection between the material and the broken plane," he said.

Earlier, journalist Sergei Parkhomenko conducted an analysis of photographs, which presumably depicts an inversion trace of a rocket launched by a "beech". He contacted the photographer and determined the place where the launch could be made. The detailed report Parkhomenko was published by the Medusa publication.

On July 17, 2014, 298 passengers and crew members were killed as a result of the Boeing crash.

On November 13, it became known that the investigation of the Boeing disaster was extended for another nine months - until August 2015. Members of the investigation group, which includes experts mainly from Australia, Belgium, Malaysia, the Netherlands and from Ukraine, took such a decision because of the too "unstable" political situation in the region.

The International Investigative Commission has so far published only a preliminary report, which states that the aircraft received numerous damage from the outside. What exactly caused these damage was not indicated in the report.
