The U.S. Embassy in Kiev, Ukraine has released this statement:
Ukrainian authorities report that bodies and debris are spread across a 10 mile distance and that all 295 passengers and crew are believed dead. Ukrainian military analysts believe a Russian-made SA-17 Grizzly surface-to-air missile system destroyed the plane.
“If true, this represents a significant escalation, as the SA-17 is a sophisticated system requiring a whole suite of radar and command vehicles.”
Militants from the Donetsk People’s Republic have secured the site and are refusing access to outsiders.
Trying to locate those black boxes and hide the evidence.
“If true, this represents a significant escalation, as the SA-17 is a sophisticated system requiring a whole suite of radar and command vehicles.”
A bunch of ‘separatists’ did not do this. It takes months to learn how to operate and maintain a sophisticated weapon like the SA17.
FoxNews now reporting that ‘unnamed individuals’ in the Pentagon are stating that the SA-17 was operated by the Russians.
