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.

THANKS for posting the pictures of Tucker. He’s my FAVORITE journalist and he looks GREAT there!
You missed the part about not using them in Russian Federation territory, TYR.
This makes it less problematic to attack airfields in NATO countries when the Ukies and their NAFO pals start rolling the F-16s off NATO airbases, because the airbases in the Ukraine are unsuitable for the F-16s.
Get yourself up to speed, TYR.
I’m sure the US wouldn’t mind if Russia sent some S-500 missile systems to Yemen, Syria and Iran to even things out.
The Tucker is marcus's Daddy.
Queen Vicky and her neocon pals are dancing right on the line to a few Russians showing up with some hypersonic missile batteries for their Houthi allies...
Yeah, right.
Who ya gonna believe, physical evidence or the USG deepState narrative?
You’re squeezing on the wrong end of Occam’s razor, the Uke Nazi blood tells you that.
Idealistic/not truly reality based expectation/”thinking”.
More Moscovian disinformation.
There were only 3 bodies found and the plane was headed north, not west toward Ukraine. As for the missile - good shot!
Your ‘point’?
But its not the same system - only the name is the same. So many changes that they are impossible to list.
It's not necessary, and they want Diplomatic solutions.
Yes, indeed. But if true, it would put to rest comments that the Russians shot down their own plane, wouldn’t it.
Ruh Roh!

I don't care, it's just getting closer to The Last Ukrainian Alive.
Will the Russkies ship him home via air transport, while hinting that Putin will be aboard?
I can see that Uke now, kissing his rear goodbye.
I like Sky News with Rita Panahi. She’s originally from Pine Bluff, Ak.
The most bizarre yet telling tv news was that yammering, rapid fire and sometimes sobbing North Korean woman.
Was she weird.
