All Evidence Points at Kiev Illigitimate Government in Shooting Down MH17

Just like it did with Iraq and Weapons of Mass Destruction, the US is lying about who shot down flight MH17 over Ukraine. The white truck carrying the Buk-M #312 system appears to have been planned dating all the way back to March, 2014. The only evidence motive and possible scenario implicates the American and Ukrainian government in bringing down MH17, killing all aboard.

Russia has released military monitoring data, which

shows Kiev military jets tracking the MH17 plane shortly before the

crash - and posed yet another set of questions to Ukraine and the US

over the circumstances of the tragedy.









Military officials – chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces

Lt. Gen. Andrey Kartopolov and chief of the Air Force Main Staff

Lt. Gen. Igor Makushev - posed a number of questions to Kiev and

Washington concerning the possible causes of the catastrophe in

Eastern Ukraine that killed almost 300 people last Thursday.





1. Why did the MH17 plane leave the international corridor?
“Please note that the plane stayed within the corridor until it

reached Donetsk but then it deviated from the route to the

north,” said Kartopolov.





2. Was MH17 leaving the route a navigation mistake or was the

crew following instructions by Ukrainian air traffic controllers

in Dnepropetrovsk?
“The maximum deviation from the left border of the corridor was

14 km. Following that, we can see the plane maneuvering to return

to the corridor, yet the Malaysian crew did not get a chance to

complete the maneuver. At 17.20, the plane began to lose speed,

and at 17.23 it disappeared from Russian radars.”





3. Why was a large group of air defense systems deployed to the

militia-held area if the self-defense forces have no planes?
“As far as we know, the Ukrainian military had three or four air

defense battalions equipped with Buk-M1 SAM systems deployed in

the vicinity of Donetsk on the day of the crash. This system is

capable of hitting targets within the range of 35 km at the

altitude of up to 22 km.”

4. Why did Kiev deploy BUK missile systems on the edge of

militia-controlled zones directly before the tragedy?
“We have satellite photos of the places where Ukraine had its air

defense units deployed in the southeastern parts of the country.

The first three photos were made on July 14. The first photo

shows Buk launchers 8 km northwest of Lugansk. You can clearly

see a TELAR and two TELs. The second photo shows radars 5 km

north of Donetsk. You can see two TARs along with other equipment

and technical structures. The third photo shows air defense

systems north of Donetsk. You can clearly see a TELAR launcher

and about 60 military and auxiliary vehicles, tents for vehicles

and other structures.







“Here’s a photo of the same area made on July 17. Please note

that the launcher has disappeared. The fifth photo shows a

battery of Buk missiles at the village of Zaroshchenskoye 50 km

east of Donetsk and 8 km south of Shakhtyorsk on the morning of

the same day. The sixth photo shows the same area on July 18. As

you can see, the battery has left.”

5. On the day of the crash Kiev intensified Kupol-M1 9S18 radar

activity, key BUK system components. Why?
“Also, July 17 saw increased activity on the part of Ukraine’s

Kupol-M1 9S18 radars, which are part of the Buk system. Here on

this chart you see that there were seven radars operating on July

15, eight radars operating on July 16, and nine radars operating

on July 17 in the area. Then, starting with July 18, the

intensity of radar activities radically decreased, and now there

are no more than two or three radars operating a day. The reason

behind this is yet to be found.”





6. What was a military plane doing on the route intended for

civilian flights?
“There were three civilian planes in the area performing their

regular flights at this time. There was a flight from Copenhagen

to Singapore at 17:17, there was a flight from Paris to Taipei at

17:24, and then there was the flight from Amsterdam to Kuala

Lumpur.”







“Also, Russian monitoring systems registered that there was a

Ukrainian Air Force jet, probably Su-25, climbing and approaching

the Malaysian Boeing.”







“The Su-25 was 3-5 km away from the Malaysian plane. Su-25 is

capable of climbing to the altitude of 10,000 meters for a short

period of time. Its standard armament includes R60 air-to-air

missiles, which are capable of locking and hitting targets from

12 km and which are guaranteed to hit the target from the

distance of 5 km.”

7. Why was the military jet flying at so close to a passenger

plane?
“At 17:21’35, with [the Boeing’s] velocity having dropped to 200

kilometers per hour, a new mark detecting an airborne object

appears at the spot of the Boeing’s destruction. This new

airborne object was continuously detected for the duration of

four minutes by the radar stations Ust-Donetsk and Buturinskaya.

An air traffic controller requested the characteristics of the

new airborne object, but was unable to get any readings on its

parameters – most likely due to the fact that the new aircraft

was not equipped with a secondary surveillance radar transponder,

which is a distinctive feature of military aircraft,” said

Makushev.







“Detecting the new aircraft became possible as it started to

ascend. Further changes in the airborne object’s coordinates

suggest that it was hovering above the Boeing 777’s crash site,

monitoring of the situation.







“Ukrainian officials earlier claimed that there were no Ukrainian

military aircraft in the area of the crash that day. As you can

see, that is not true.”





8. Where did the launcher – from the video circulated by Western

media and showing a Buk system being moved allegedly from Ukraine

to Russia – come from? As the video was made on the territory

controlled by Kiev, where was the launcher being transported?
“I’d like to say that the information we have presented here is

based on objective and reliable data from various technical

systems – unlike the groundless accusations made against Russia,”

said Kartopolov.

<p> “For example, media circulated a

video supposedly showing a Buk system being moved from Ukraine to

Russia. This is clearly a fabrication. This video was made in the

town of Krasnoarmeisk, as evidenced by the billboard you see in

the background, advertising a car dealership at 34 Dnepropetrovsk

Street. Krasnoarmeisk has been controlled by the Ukrainian

military since May 11.” </p>

9. Where is it right now? Why are some of the missiles missing on

the launcher? When was the last time a missile was launched from

it?

Buk system supposedly being moved from Ukraine to Russia with two out of

three missiles.

10. Why haven’t US officials revealed the evidence supporting

claims that the MH17 was shot down by a missile launched by the

militia?
“US officials claim they have satellite photographs proving the

Malaysian airliner was shot down by a missile launched by the

militia. But no one has seen these photographs so far. As far as

we know, there was indeed a US satellite flying over southeastern

Ukraine on July 17 from 17:06 to 17:21 Moscow time.







“This satellite is part of an experimental system designed to

track and monitor the launches of missiles of various ranges. If

our US colleagues have imagery from this satellite, they should

release it for the international community to examine it in

detail. This may be a coincidence, but the US satellite flew over

Ukraine at exactly the same time when the Malaysian airliner

crashed.”

This is not the first time Russia brings up questions on the plane crash. No

explanations have followed with Kiev insisting they have full

evidence of Russia being behind the attack, but so far only

releasing tapes.







The USA, putting the blame on the self-defense forces, has yet

refused to release any intelligence material. On Monday State

Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf described Russia’s

statements as “propaganda and misinformation” - but when

reporters asked her whether Washington would be releasing their

intelligence and satellite data, Harf only replied "may

be." So far the US has been backing its statements by social

media and "common sense."
