They claimed at that time they had intercepted one of our RC-135s off the Kamchatka Penninsula. Impossible to mistake a 747 for a 135.

Plane apparently disappeared from radar 10 minutes before leaving Ukraine air space

This is what happens when Russian rebels have access to sophisticated arms under no higher government control and are let loose with hair triggers in a civil war already eager to kill their neighbors who once were their brothers.

The Russian invasion of Georgia was 2008.

Yeah now I remember. I have always thought that Putin was embarrassed by the fall of Communism in '89, and is trying to reinstall national pride by forcing an imperial agenda one tiny piece at a time.

Still, I just don't see him having any responsibility in this, as this is a PR nightmare to be certain, and he would know it. Planned, but wrong target?????? Hmmmmm......

Good question. KLM flies the same route also everyday.
Other airlines fly over the Ukraine to Malaysia (from Europe).

I agree a manpad could not take down at 33K. I wonder what military might have been on the radar or it was on board?

As with the missing MH370, I’m sure the intelligence community knows.

this is just an unfortunate coincidence for them, but a lot of their routes do fly over truly s***** parts of the world.

CNN reported that the Pentagon had concluded from satellite data that the Ukrainian cargo plane shot down on Monday was the result of a missile from inside Russia. Similar data is now being analyzed for this one. Quite conceivable that a missile from the Russian side could have taken down the airliner.

The Russian “rebels” are really Russian military personnel.
