The Ukraine military uses the same BUK mobile missile system and has recently moved some BUK missile batteries into eastern Ukraine. How hard would it be for the CIA or one of its surrogates to gain access to one of these mobile systems?
Should we worry? Yeah. The US caused ISIS, and they're out of control, well trained, smart, and capable of all kinds of mischief. I wouldn't be surprised if situations occur all over the world designed to instigate war.
Except Strelkov and his stooges already admitted to shooting it down, albeit they thought it was a Ukrainian transport carrier. Strelkov also admitted that the recordings from the Ukrainian SBU are real, he just claims he was "taken out of context" when talking to his Russkie handler.
Maybe Strelkov, a Russian GRU, is a double agent working for NATO?
#17:What are your sources re the Ukrainian govt is moving BUK units into eastern Ukraine? And why? The Soviet-created insurgents don’t have any fighters or bombers that I know of. Did they capture any in Donestk, etc?
The BUK units, either Soviet or captured Ukrainian ones (according to one unverified report), would be well guarded by the GRU-led “insurgents”. Strelkov is no amateur, unlike Obama.
A BUK complex, like that of the old SAM II/III systems, has a number of units - trucks/radar, missiles/chassis, etc. in order to function properly. These are not “shoot and scoot” MANPAD missiles.
