I think the story line would be that Ukrainian fighter jets intercepted the 777, forced it to divert and then escorted it to a point above the Russian missile base all the while giving the impression that the flight of three aircraft was military.
As soon as the flight was over the base and, the fighters bugged out and let the 777 get hit.
Nice try but who knows what the truth is anymore in that region
So... you're suggesting that the Russian excuse here is, “Those mean, bad, super-powerful Ukrainians FORCED us to murder 300 people!”
Okay. Putin can try that on for size, if he wants.

I don't believe anything about any subject that originates from any government.
This report seems to contain a lot of speculation and unconfirmed claims, but the bit about having military jets close to the commercial airliners is supported by the videos showing chaff falling on the wreckage.
ALERT! 777 Shoot Down Video Shows CHAFF Was Deployed, Points to Fighter Jet Involvement
Think about it, if you were going to divert a commercial airliner through an area that had two military planes shot down, would you not at least be concerned and maybe send an escort ? Especially if they were diverted because of weather.
And the link I posted above also makes some conclusions that are speculations. That site usually runs 80 % correct in its speculations which is very good for a blogger.
