Suspicion for the apparent shooting down of a Malaysia Airlines flight immediately fell on pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine who two weeks ago boasted of capturing powerful surface-to-air missiles.

Anton Gerashenko, a senior aide to Ukraine’s interior minister, said the aircraft carrying 295 passengers was brought down with a missile fired from a Buk anti-aircraft missile battery.

Fighters from the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) overran a Ukrainian army garrison on June 29 and claimed to have captured at least one such weapon. “ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/10974821/Ukrainian-separatists-suspected-of-bringing-down-Malaysia-Airlines-flight-on-Russian-border.html

Now where is your source? Nato?

You didn't read my post:

"Typically, whenever the Russkies send something over the border, they claim they captured it first,"

There is no evidence that this is true, however, except from Russian media.

Now where is your source? Nato?

Yes, it is NATO, as well as photographs seen of the Buk traveling through Ukraine and then later fleeing back to Russia, thus implying that is where it came from.
