“The only reason a problem occurred with this ground radar guided missile is because the Russians deliberately shot the aircraft out of the sky, likely thinking it was either one of their own Russian passenger planes nearby being used in a false flag incident...”
Because the Russians wouldn’t know where the Russian aircraft was in deliberate Russian false flag incident? lol

Actually, yes. Amateur photographs and videos quickly surfaced on the Internet the same day of the shootdown and shortly afterwards. The Buk was observed at various locations by these social media as it traveled from inside Russia to its firing position. After the shootdown, the Russian crew was seen celebrating and boasting about the destruction of the aircraft. When the news reported it was the Malaysian MH17 passenger plane instead of a Ukrainian military cargo plane or the Russian passenger plane, the BUK was moved back into Russia with the social media posting pictures of its passing by on its way back into Russia with a missile obviously missing that was seen aboard in the earlier pictures before the shootdown.
Comments at the time noted the crew of the Buk were known to be having problems locating their planned firing position and were late in setting up for their launch. The talk at the time was that the Buk crew confused the two aircraft because they were some minutes behind schedule for their setup.
