As someone posted earlier if the Russian military was operating the SA-17 they would have seen the MH17 squawking its transponder flight codes. They would also have had other IFF equipment and contact with other ATC radar flight data. I doubt it was under Russian Military control and because it was under trigger happy rebel control we have a tragedy. Just enough brains to use the weapon and stupid enough to shoot down Russian planes or their own aircraft as well. Will wait to see more information come out including any NATO intelligence that is released.
