MOSCOW, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Russian investigators said on Thursday they had evidence showing that Ukraine's military shot down a Russian Il-76 military transport plane last week with U.S.-made Patriot surface-to-air missiles.
Among the fragments were serial numbers with English acronyms, including "CONFIDENTIAL classified by PATRIOT SECURITY CLASSIFICATION GUIDE DATED: 9/22/83 ADDENDUM DATED 11/28/83 8/8/84 CONTRACT NO/DAAH01-86C-A018'," the committee said in a statement.
"The fragments seized from the scene, according to their design features, geometric characteristics and available markings, are structural elements of the MIM-104A anti-aircraft guided missile of the Patriot complex of the United States, developed by Raytheon and Hughes corporations and manufactured by Raytheon," the committee said.

Murdered and bodies shoved in a pit to preserve the lie.
No pictures of 74 bodies all over the crash site? That’s abnormally decent of the Ruzzians not to display enemy corpses since they have no problem doing it on their network news every night.
Guess who just arrived in Moscow.
Putin interview?
Hint: He’s a former Fox News host with the initials TC
Hmmmm, what we have here is two great sources of nothingness: Russia and Reuters. ‘Twould be difficult to choose the least trustworthy, but we know it would be close.
Unlike you, I do not watch the Russian network news.
I’m feeling old. I didn’t realize the Patriot design dated to the 1960s.
Well we gave the Ukes Patriot missile systems. Why wouldn’t they use them to shoot stuff down? I am not clear on why Russia would get worked up over this.
If this was a prisoner exchange flight it would be squawking a specific code just like commercial flights and all would know who it is and not shoot it down. It would be a prearranged flight that both side were totally aware of and as coming from Russia to the Ukraine would have had specific orders that it was not a military threat. What happened?
1. Mechanical failure and let us blame it on the Ukraine.
2. Russian Air Defense or Ukraine Air Defense screwed up and shot it down.
3. A nefarious propaganda plot by Russia or the Ukraine.
Pity that George Carlin is not still with us. What he said about our government is true of every government.
“Unlike you, I do not watch the Russian network news.”
I recommend watching foreign news. You get to hear things about America you’ll never hear in our media. There’s also much better coverage of world events.
You Tube has free news channels from all over the world. Often times there’s English translation available too.
A separate video from the Investigations Committee, which appeared to be taken at the crash site, showed officials putting what they said were body fragments into bags for evidence.
It showed tattooed skin and said that, checked against DNA and identity records Russian authorities hold of Ukrainian prisoners of war, the investigation proved that those killed were Ukrainian soldiers.
Russia said on Friday it had recovered Ukrainian identity documents and tattooed body parts from the crash site near the Ukrainian border.
Poor Meg and Chad, ya gotta figure out which way Rooters is Lying.
Someone rammed a Patriot up some Uke Nazis rears.
The next thing you know these Russkies will be trying to tell us there’s gambling at Rick’s Cafe…
There’s video of this shoot down on the net. It was not mechanical failure.
Needless to say the system has had a ton of upgrades since then. Like the B-52.
Sorry, not interested in Foreigners honoring Nazis in their media.
You are not that old. The Patriot did not date to the 1960s.
That surface to air missile system (in the 1960s) would be the Hawk missile.
“Hint: He’s a former Fox News host with the initials TC”
NICE! It’s a shame that US TV Networks won’t interview Putin. It almost seems as though they’re afraid of how their viewers will react.
Anyway, Fox’s ‘brilliant’ move of kicking out Tucker and Twitter’s ‘brilliant’ move of blocking Babylon Bee has now opened a pathway for UNFILTERED NEWS to reach Americans, something that has to scare the hell out of the Leftists.
True.
In war all sides use disinformation campaigns.
