“They should have shot down the Russian airliner, but they were mistaken”

4
On July 17, 2014, a Boeing 777 of Malaysian Airlines was shot down over Donbass. Almost three hundred passengers and crew members on board were killed. This plane crash was one of the largest casualties. And to this day there is no complete clarity about what exactly happened four years ago in the sky over the proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic.


Estimates of what happened by the Russian and Ukrainian sides diverge diametrically. Kiev and the Western countries behind it, led by the United States of America, blamed Russia and the Donbass militia supported by it for everything. Those allegedly shot down a Boeing 777 from the Buk anti-aircraft gun, which the Russian military allegedly delivered from a missile military unit deployed near Kursk. At the same time, no plausible reasons for the commission of this crime by the Russian Federation or the militias were given by the prosecutors in this way.



Due to the obvious politicization of the issue, Moscow refused to support the idea of ​​holding a tribunal for the Boeing 777 disaster, rightly fearing that a serious investigation would become a banal trial. About the farcicality of the action testified in advance to "evidence" - edited in the editors photos of the Buk air defense system, obtained from social networks. In the future, this decision was clearly justified by the badly staged show that the UK staged around the “Skripals affair”.

For their part, Russian experts put forward at least two more plausible explanations for the cause of the crash of the Malaysian Boeing over the Donbass:

Ukrainian attack aircraft. By a strange coincidence, a few hours before the death of a Boeing, several Su-25 attack aircraft took off into the sky in the indicated area, one of which was for some reason equipped with air-to-air missiles. According to one version, the passenger airliner was shot down by the Ukrainian Su-25 under the control of pilot Alexei Voloshin. Allegedly after the crash, the pilot said: "The plane is not the same." However, now Voloshin is no longer possible to interrogate. He left the army, got a good position at the Nikolaev airport and ... shot himself under strange circumstances.

Ukrainian "Buk". It is quite natural that the Buk air defense system is in service not only in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, but also in the Armed Forces. It is known that on the territory of Donbass controlled by the Ukrainian military, the Bukov division was deployed shortly before the Boeing disaster. It is not known whether they shot down a civilian airliner and whether this happened intentionally, but the fact remains: the level of general training of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for 2014 was very low, while there was already a precedent when Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners shot down a passenger plane by tragic accident.

We returned to this topic because a somewhat unexpected sound has found this theme now in the West. David Sutter, an American journalist and consultant on aviation investigations, believes that the attack was not a Malaysian Boeing, but a Russian airliner, which was supposed to fly to Cyprus through this region:

The motivation, I believe, is nevertheless to denigrate Ukraine and somehow create the background for the invasion and expansion of hostilities


The journalist believes that the international community should return to an impartial investigation. It is possible that a third force is behind the death of the Boeing 777 over Donbass, which was planning an escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but there was an excess of fulfillment, and everything went a little differently than planned.

    There was no smell of BEECH there, on that day it was very sunny and hot weather, and the witnesses perfectly saw that 2 more small jet planes appeared with a large plane flying nearby, spun there, then they saw some kind of flash, and the big plane crashed onto If the BUK were involved there, the same eyewitnesses, and there were at least 15 people, and they saw it from different angles, would certainly have noticed the contrail from a missile fired from the BUK at this Boeing, especially well visible and persisting for a long time in such weather, but the locals did not observe anything like that. For an hour, the commander of the Horlivka garrison, Igor Bezler, was at the scene of the tragedy, and he said that the militia shot down one of the two Ukrainian fighters that attacked the downed plane from MANPADS ... Bezler's "walkie-talkies" were well heard on VHF waves, and his conversation was heard by many who had a receiver in their hands. The flying bodies of the passengers emitted such a terrible smell, as if they had been in the sun for at least a week, although no more than an hour had passed since the tragedy, and he knew what he was saying. And in the evening on the local TV and radio a dialogue with the Spanish air traffic controller was voiced , who worked at the Ukrainian "tower" that something incomprehensible was happening, the whole control tower was occupied by the military, and we were all locked up under guard in a separate room. Here are his words- "Before they take away our phones, or they break my head: HE WAS KNOWN BY KIEV, the radar contains all the data, for non-believers that the plane was shot down by Kiev, here we know about it, and also air control movement. "But after a while, Ukrainian officials began to say that such a dispatcher did not exist at all ... On the same day, the Ukrainian AN-26 was shot down, and Sushka, and they were shot down from the militia's MANPADS, they had no other air defense system was, and after a while it became known that the attack aircraft that shot the Boeing
    Before the flight, the SU-25 was fully equipped with air-to-air missiles on suspensions, ammunition for machine guns, but returned to the airfield empty, and the pilot, Voloshin, who piloted this plane, said the plane was not the same, and in the wrong place. And almost at the same time, with a discrepancy of 37 minutes, "Board No.-1" was supposed to fly not far from Poland along a free corridor, with no one communicating ... that there was no Buk-M1 - this is unambiguous, why this Buk, when there are airplanes, and how much "torment Russia needs to" drag "this BUK, with a complex of 3 more cars attached to it, to get to Zaroshchenskaya, so as not ", to shoot at the plane with a missile, which leaves no trace in the air after itself, to shoot down this Airborne No.-1, and quietly retreat to its former location .... Complete absurdity.

      So it was not encrypted at that time - Russian President Vladimir Putin was returning that day and at the same time from abroad! (Is this, "in a Fashington loch", the Russians were going to shoot down their President "for provocative purposes"? ! winked Well, these gentlemen and gentlemen have a "brain twist"!)
      Moreover, the passing courses of the Malaysian "Boeing" and the presidential "Ila" crossed, with a smooth divergence, over Poland very close to the Ukrainian border, and both of these aircraft were even painted similarly, in the same palette of colors, albeit with some differences, elusive from the first agitated glance of the killer pilot (adrenaline, of course, was "over the top", but maybe they also refueled him with a "Maidan power engineer" so that he would probably decide on this ?!) and the perspective of a catching fighter attack aircraft!
      Putin very much hindered and interfered with the Washington officials (after all, it was with the personality of the current Russian President that the American hawks linked and link their failures in Crimea and Donbass, it was his re-election that American officials and agents of influence tried to prevent in every possible way, brazenly interfering in the course of the presidential elections in Russia, but about these REAL undemocratic Washington interventions, the American "fighters for democracy" are silent, like mice under a broom, in every possible way inflating their FALSE versions of allegedly "Russian interference in the US presidential elections", while completely ignoring the active attempt of their "councilors" Maidan authorities to intervene in the American presidential elections by throwing compromising evidence on the closest confidant of Donald Trump, then a presidential candidate ?!), and then a real opportunity appeared to shoot down Putin's plane and solve all their problems at once (it's no secret that in the highest echelons of Russian power pro-American lobby and another Russian prez Identity could have been much more accommodating to the Washington "ramaidan of Ukraine", especially after such a demonstrative "elimination of the intractable" by the overseas "hegemons"!), so the American puppets started hurrying ... by the way, living witnesses from the Dnipropetrovsk dispatchers, those who suddenly " went on vacation, "something is impossible to hear for FOUR YEARS, how is it not heard anywhere and records of the dispatchers' negotiations with the Malaysian aircraft and its connection to the meeting place with Bandera fighters over the territory of the DPR (planned to discredit the defenders of Donbass in the eyes of the Russians ?!)? ! request

    I read the comments and remember the old anecdote "so big but you believe in fairy tales". The people have heard enough of Kiselev and Solovyov and are raving about board number 1 and evil ukraine. And Su25 Zakharchenko personally saw with his own eyes at an altitude of 10 meters how he shot at a Boeing and reported it personally on television.
