Buk system from which gunmen could have launched missile at Malaysian plane already in Russia

An adviser to the Ukrainian interior minister, Anton Heraschenko, has claimed that the Buk surface-to-air missile system, from which a missile could have been launched at a Malaysian plane in Donetsk region, was removed to Russia last night, and militants are planning to hand over the plane's black box flight recording equipment to "FSB curators."

"According to the latest reports, international-class terrorist Strelkov, or Girkin, came to Snizhne at night to resolve the situation with the downed Malaysian Boeing. The Buk system, from which a missile was launched, was removed at night to Russia, where it will most likely be destroyed," he wrote on his page on Facebook.

Getting rid of the evidence —

Comrade, you are one missile short.

Commissar, you remember that fiddler on the roof who used to keep you up at night.

Well you will sleep better now.

These are the same Russians who covertly trained the German Luftwaffe pilots in Russia as commissioned Russian officers to circumvent German and Soviet violations of the First World War Armistice Agreement of Versailles, which forbade a German Luftwaffe and military pilot training.

These are the same Russians who destroyed the evidence of their Massacre of the Poles at Katyn Forest and then appear to have orchestrated the murder of a planeload of Poles and their president at Smolensk as they arrived to attend a memorial service for the victims of the Katyn Forest Massacre. These are the same Russians who appeared in a film walking among the survivors of the Polish air crash at Smolensk shooting them as someone surreptitiously video recorded the murders. These are the same Russians who further destroyed and then removed the wreckage of the Polish aircraft before independent investigators from Poland and international civil aviation authorities could have an opportunity to reconstruct the aircraft and determine the causes of the air crash.

These are the same Russians who used military force to deny the families of the people the Russians murdered aboard the KAL airliner an opportunity to recover the dead and wreckage of the aircraft to forestall any investigations.

The list goes on and on and on with Russian destruction of the evidence and witnesses of their criminal acts.

There was a weapons specialist on Fox yesterday that explained these 1970’s era Soviet SAM systems are very technically complex and take a extensive amount of expertise and training to operate, whoever was operating this one would have had to have extensive knowledge in both the system itself as well as radar tracking. It's not like some rebel bumpkin could grab one, push a big red button and shoot down a plane.

“These are the same Russians who appeared in a film walking among the survivors of the Polish air crash at Smolensk shooting them as someone surreptitiously video recorded the murders.”

Whoa! That I did not hear!

I looked it up. Here is the film - genuine or not - if anyone wants to see it: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1278175/Footage-Polish-air-crash-emerges-claiming-Russian-speaking-men-shooting-survivors.html
