Boeing Donbass investigation. Boeing MH17 crash. Official investigation report. Video reconstruction of the work of "Buk"
Within one month, the Dutch Security Council will publish preliminary data on the progress of the investigation into the crash of a Malaysian Boeing 777 in the suburbs of Donetsk. On July 17, 298 passengers and crew members of the Boeing were killed in the Donetsk region, the bodies of 62 of them have still not been found. It is possible that fragments of bodies remain with the wreckage of the airliner in the area of combat operations on the Russian-Ukrainian border.
Despite the importance of the evidence left in Ukraine, experts in The Hague still have the opportunity to establish the cause and those responsible for the plane crash. A group of specialists from 12 countries is working on the case, but Russia was not among those invited. Soon only the cause of the disaster will be announced; investigators are not yet planning to name the culprits. According to Dutch aviation experts, it may take years to find those responsible for the disaster.
The fact is that the key evidence - the wreckage of a Boeing with traces of external influence on the plane - was left on a field in the village of Grabovo. Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Malaysia Ahmad Jahid Hamidi told reporters that the international team of investigators from Holland and Australia, which visited the disaster site from August 1 to 6, managed to do only half of the work. More than 70 specialists interviewed eyewitnesses, examined the wreckage and collected personal belongings and the remains of most of the dead passengers.
The remains of the Boeing cockpit and part of the left side of the cockpit with traces of fragmentation holes are of particular value to the investigation.
According to Minister Hamidi, they wanted to be evacuated to the Netherlands for examination within three weeks. But the foreigners did not have time - on August 6, the Ukrainian authorities and NATO representatives announced the strengthening of the positions of Russian troops on the border. Due to growing tensions, the Dutch authorities decided to stop work in Ukraine.
On August 8, the international investigative team left Donetsk, hoping to return there in the winter, after the likely cessation of fighting - on this, by the way, the Ukrainian side insisted, not wanting to interrupt military operations in July-August (Previously, the UN Security Council demanded that Ukraine not conduct hostilities in the 20th kilometer zone from the Boeing crash site).
However, by winter, valuable evidence may be destroyed. Foreign journalists published photographs on Twitter of how cows were now grazing among the wreckage of the plane. But most importantly, there is fighting in the disaster area. In particular, according to RIA Novosti, on August 14, the Ukrainian army used heavy artillery in Grabovo - a Tochka-U ballistic missile exploded there. At the site where the rocket fell, a crater 8 meters deep remained.
Searches for recordings of conversations between dispatchers and pilots
All that investigators have now is the decoding of Boeing’s “black boxes” (it was done in the UK, since the Netherlands does not have the appropriate equipment and specialists) and radio traffic data from Ukrainian dispatchers.
“We have enough information (for a preliminary report on the causes of the crash),” Wim van der Weegen, a spokesman for the Dutch Safety Council, told reporters last week. “But we would like to return to the crash site to check some of our conclusions and get additional evidence."
However, according to Russian experts, “black boxes” are unlikely to help in investigating the causes of the disaster. Recorders record the operation of instruments, components and assemblies of the aircraft, pressure indicators, altitudes, and the serviceability of on-board systems. If the plane received external mechanical damage, then the recorders will not show anything other than a break in the electrical networks. According to preliminary data leaked to the press, the “black boxes” indicate large-scale explosive decompression on board the aircraft - rapid depressurization, possible, in particular, as a result of an explosion. However, the pilots did not notice anything unusual during the three-hour flight until the connection was lost. According to Air India pilots who were 25 km, or 90 seconds into the flight, from the Boeing 777, they heard the Ukrainian controller asking the Malaysian pilots to change course. The liner dropped from 35 thousand feet to 33 thousand feet (10,500 m). This could be due to a possible thunderstorm in the south of Ukraine or the close passage of another aircraft (next to the Boeing, in addition to the Indian one, there was a Singapore Airlines plane).
Recordings of pilots' conversations with the Ukrainian air traffic controller, and most importantly, Ukrainian radar readings, may contain the most valuable information. Representatives of the Russian Ministry of Defense, as well as members of the Malaysian government, have repeatedly demanded that this information be made public. According to the BBC, immediately after the tragedy, the tapes were seized from the Air Traffic Control in Kyiv by SBU officers. But the recordings did not reach international investigators immediately, but only three weeks later, and then only after an official request from the Malaysian Prosecutor General. At the same time, in an interview with the New Straits Times, the Ambassador of Ukraine to Malaysia Igor Gumenny generally denied the information that the records were in the SBU.
Immediately after the disaster, a Spaniard spoke on Twitter about the work of the control tower at the Kiev Boryspil airport Carlos, air hub controller. He said that the Ukrainian plane was "flying" two Ukrainian Air Force aircraft, and they were marked on the radars of air traffic controllers in Kyiv three minutes before the crash. After Carlos talked about the visit of foreign military personnel to him, the blog was deleted. It has still not been possible to confirm his words.
However, nothing has yet been reported about the authenticity of the film transferred from Kyiv to the Netherlands. In this regard, Malaysian media note that after the disappearance of another Boeing MH370 in March of this year, negotiations with air traffic controllers were published on the official website of the country's government 72 hours later.
The key to understanding the causes of the tragedy lies in the missile's damaging elements
But even if the radars did not detect anything unusual, evidence may remain in the bodies of passengers or crew members of the Boeing. As of August 17, the bodies of 149 passengers and crew members of the plane, most of whom are Dutch citizens, were identified in the morgue of a military base near the Dutch city of Hilversum, one Australian and 22 Malaysians were also identified. Among the citizens of Malaysia (there were 44 representatives of this country on board), the body of at least one of the two pilots must be identified - the plane was flown by a 50-year-old captain Wan Amran Bin Wan Hussin and 45 year old Yugen Chu Jin Leon.
A photograph published by journalists immediately after the crash shows the body of one of the dead pilots with traces of at least three round holes in the back. Another photo shows a large wound on the right leg. If fragments of the suspected missile were stuck in the pilot's body and did not pass through (in the case of the terrorist attacks on Tu-154 planes in 2004, bomb fragments were removed from the bodies of passengers), they can be used to determine the type of missile that hit the plane.
Among the passengers, fragments can be found in the bodies of those who were sitting in the first cabin of the plane - further, judging by photographs from the crash site, the fuselage did not receive external damage - no traces of shrapnel are visible either on the surviving parts in the floor or in the tail of the plane. On some parts of the Boeing, the windows even remained intact, while in the cockpit the glazing was torn out from the inside - the glass was missing, the casing was turned outward, and the rivets were partially torn out completely, and some were left without caps.
To identify fragments in the bodies of passengers, it is enough to know which high-explosive fragmentation part is installed in the Buk M-1 missile. According to open sources, the warhead of the 9M38M1 Buk M1 missile weighs 70 kg and has a charge power of about 40 kg in TNT equivalent. The warhead consists of alternating layers of cube-I-beam-cube. The mass of the I-beam is 8 g, the mass of the cube is 2.5 g. The diameter of the fragments is about 10 mm. In each Buk missile, the warhead consists of 5.9 thousand fragmentation elements (for comparison, in the S200 missile, which shot down a Tu-154 plane in 2001, there were 37 thousand balls with a diameter of 9.5 mm and 7.9 mm, weighing 3-5 g each).
Due to the special shape of the fragmentation elements of the Buk missile, doubts arose among military experts that this missile system could even be used to attack the Boeing. Evidence of the use of the Buk missile is so far only indirect.
It is interesting that the first version of the operation of the Buk complex was voiced by the adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Arsena Avakova- on his Facebook page ten minutes after the message about the crash of the Malaysian Boeing Anton Gerashchenko stated that the plane was shot down by militias:
“Terrorists from the Buk anti-aircraft missile system kindly donated by Putin just shot down a Kuala Lumpur - Amsterdam civil plane over Torez. This morning, local patriots recorded the movement of this complex from Torez to Snezhnoye.”
That same evening, in support of his version, Anton Gerashchenko published a photograph of supporters of the National Guard in Torez, who claim that some witnesses captured the contrail of the rocket launch.
“This photo was taken near the city of Torez at about 16:20 in the direction of Snezhnoye. This is a contrail from the missile that shot down the Boeing. The place from which the rocket was launched was clearly identified. And we clearly know that the area from which the launch was made was controlled by a terrorist organization,” the head of the SBU counterintelligence department later told reporters Vitaly Naida.
However, for some reason the original photo on Twitter was published on July 17 at 09.23 - eight hours before the Boeing crash.
Later, a discussion arose on social networks about the inconsistency of the weather conditions in the picture of thick clouds at the site of the disaster (it is clearly visible in the first frames with a rising column of smoke in the Torez area). The BBC journalists who found the site of the alleged launch could not find confirmation of the authenticity of the photo; they did not find any evidence of the operation of the Buk air defense system. On the contrary, local residents in interviews with British journalists, as well as in conversations with Paris Math correspondents, said that they saw a military plane in the sky, accompanying and then rising sharply in front of the passenger plane, after which they heard three strong explosions and saw falling fragments of the Boeing. .
However, an audio recording of negotiations between militiamen from the battalion appeared in the SBU Igor Bezler nicknamed "Bes" with the admission that the plane was shot down by the militia by mistake. The recording, published on Youtube, was immediately criticized by Russian recording experts. Social networks noticed that the date of creation of the video on YouTube was July 16, a day before the disaster. Footage of the movement of a Buk anti-aircraft system with two missing missiles, allegedly in the Torez area, was also posted on Youtube. However, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the filming took place in Krasnoarmeysk, controlled by the Ukrainian army.
U.S. intelligence officials told the Wall Street Journal that all evidence implicating Russia and militias in the crash investigation came from social media.
It is interesting that so far there is only one indirect witness to the movement of the Buk complex in the case - the director of the Stroymekhanizatsiya company from Donetsk Vasily Tumasov. In early August, he told Lithuanian and Dutch journalists that the truck on which the Buk was traveling was stolen from him by militias. Tumasov said that the white Volvo truck with a blue stripe is the only one in the Donetsk region. According to the entrepreneur, on July 8, several DPR militias seized the territory of his car depot, where, in particular, the Volvo was located, and drove out Tumasov and the company’s employees. Since then, he has known nothing about the fate of the truck.
Finally, the SBU released footage from Ukrainian satellites, which recorded the absence of Ukrainian Buk missile systems in the Torez area. However, the Russian Ministry of Defense again called the pictures a photomontage and doubted their authorship.
Rocket or heavy machine gun?
The Russian side denies the possibility of transferring Buk complexes to the militias and doubts its use. This probability is negligible, said the head of the military air defense of the Ground Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, Major General Mikhail Krush in an interview with the Military-Industrial Courier.
“All the holes from the destructive elements on the Boeing’s skin indicate that the warhead was detonated from below and from the side. But our Bukov missile hits from above, making a “slide” in front of the target. That is, only this way, no other way,” says Krush .
Simultaneously with the data from the Russian Ministry of Defense, which testifies to the presence of an unknown military aircraft at a flight level of 10 thousand meters at the time of the Boeing crash, several testimonies from foreign experts appeared in favor of an air strike rather than from the ground.
The first to speak out was the OSCE representative in the region, a Canadian journalist of Ukrainian origin, press secretary of the OSCE special monitoring mission Michael Bochurkiv. Even before the Dutch, he was at the scene of the tragedy and drew attention to the nature of the holes in the pilot’s cabin. According to the Wall Street Journal, the holes in the wreckage remind OSCE observers of machine gun fire (“shrapnel-like, almost machine gun-like holes”). Then, on July 29, in an interview with the Canadian television channel CBC World News, Michael Bochurkiv once again voiced his observation about the large caliber of the holes.
“There were two or three parts of the fuselage that were actually riddled. It's like machine gun fire; heavy machine gun fire, which left unusual holes, we did not see them on other wreckage,” said the head of the international mission.
These holes, according to some experts, are similar to traces from the operation of a double-barreled 30-mm air cannon. July 30, former pilot of the German airline Lufthansa Peter Hysenko published “A Shocking Analysis of the MH17 Shooting,” in which he outlined his version: the Boeing cockpit was shot from both sides from a GSh-30-2 aircraft cannon with incendiary high-explosive fragmentation shells.
“The facts are obvious, it is impossible to speculate on them: traces of shelling are visible on the cockpit! You can see the openings coming in and going out. The edges of some of the holes are curved inward - these are small, round and neat holes showing the entry points of a 30mm caliber projectile, writes Khaysenko. - On the other side of the fragment there are larger and slightly torn exit holes, obtained from shells of the same caliber. In addition, the exit holes tore the double layer of aluminum outer skin... The rivets were also bent outward.” Khaisenko explained that the cockpit is reinforced with a double layer of aluminum to prevent bird strikes.
Soon this version of the air cannon’s operation was confirmed by other experts. Gordon Duff, a Vietnam combat veteran, believes that the Malaysian Boeing could not have been shot down by a surface-to-air missile. In his opinion, the cause of the sudden explosive decompression could be either a bomb explosion on board or a “Ukrainian gun mounted on the fighter.”
The Malaysian newspaper New Straits Times, citing independent forensic criminologists, put forward a slightly different version - according to analysts in Malaysia, the plane could first have been shot down by an air-to-air missile, for example an R-60, and then finished off from an air cannon by a Ukrainian Su-25, but as evidenced by the holes on the cabin body with a diameter of 30 mm.
A Romanian military pilot, former deputy commander of the Otopeni military airfield, also points out the holes from air cannon shells. Valentin Vasilescu. True, he is inclined to believe that the Boeing caught up and knocked out not the Su-25, but the Mig-29, equipped with a GSh-30-1 cannon, since it has a reflective surface identical to the Su-25 in area.
“The practical ceiling of the altitude gained by the MiG-29 is 18,013 meters, so the altitude at which the Malaysian plane was moving, 10,300 meters, was easily achievable by it,” Vasilescu noted in an interview with Pravda.ru.
According to pilot Vasilescu, the Su-25 does not have sufficient acceleration to catch up with the B-777 and follow it at a speed of 900 km/h at an altitude of 10 thousand m and at the same time maintain a speed of 200-300 m/s in order to attack it from the onboard gun. The Ukrainian fighter fleet has MiG-29 aircraft, they are based at the Vasilkov airbase near Kyiv and in Ivano-Frankivsk, the expert concludes. GSh-30-1 shells pass right through, leaving round marks; they do not explode inside the cabin, are not explosive, but can kill the crew and destroy the cabin, which is recorded by holes with the edges facing outward. The death of the crew and the instant depressurization of the cabin caused the Boeing to stall at its peak, and it broke up at an altitude of about 2 thousand meters, Vasilescu believes. There was no fire in the air and no bomb explosion. According to the Romanian pilot, a mercenary could fly the fighter; in particular, the Polish MiG-29 pilots demonstrated good training, the expert notes.
However, the German pilot Khaisenko claims that the modernized Su-25 M1 attack aircraft could also gain sufficient altitude to attack the Boeing - it is capable of rising to 10 thousand meters and higher. Since 2000, the Ukrainian Air Force has had 14 Su-25 M1 aircraft in service. Ten of them are based in the 299th tactical aviation brigade, to which the notorious Yuliy Mamchur. He became famous back in March for the defense of the Air Force base in Belbek (Sevastopol). In April of this year, Mamchur began preparations for the transfer of personnel and part of the aircraft fleet to Dnepropetrovsk, under the command of the governor Igor Kolomoisky. It is worth noting that the other day Cyberberkut intercepted the correspondence of Kolomoisky’s assistants on Facebook; if it turns out to be genuine, then suspicions of involvement in the disaster fall on the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
However, so far none of the international experts plans to interrogate Ukrainian military pilots or representatives of the Ukrainian authorities. At the moment, there is one specialist from Holland and one representative of the investigation team from Malaysia in Kyiv - they are waiting for the moment when hostilities cease in the crash area. As for the Boeing wreckage, so far only the Malaysian authorities hope to evacuate pieces of the fuselage for examination.
Charges against Russia in connection with the disaster
Immediately after the plane crash, the European Union, which had long resisted the introduction of tough sectoral sanctions, decided to join US restrictive measures against Russia. With harsh criticism of actions Vladimir Putin Representatives of the Netherlands, Great Britain and Australia spoke. A number of world media outlets came out with unambiguous headlines: “Outcast” (Newsweek, USA), “Why Putin shot down MH17” (Forbes, USA), “It’s your rocket, Putin” (Herald Sun, Australia) “Is Putin guilty of killing them? » (Bild, Germany), “Victims of Putin” (Daily Mirror, UK), “Putin killed my son” (The Daily Mail, UK). In the political rhetoric surrounding the disaster, the Dutch and Australians are more active than other countries participating in the investigation.
Political background accompanies the disaster from the first minutes. The former US Deputy Secretary of State was the first among foreign politicians to speak out on the involvement of the Russian authorities in the tragedy on Twitter. Strobe Talbott, faithful ally Bill Clinton and one of the key figures in the White House's foreign policy in the eastern direction since the collapse of the USSR.
The first politician to openly blame Putin for the disaster and call for tougher sanctions was Hillary Clinton.
“I believe that if anyone had doubts before, now there are simply no doubters. The President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, of course, not alone, but with the help of militia forces in the Donetsk People’s Republic, bears full responsibility for what happened,” Hillary Clinton said on July 18.
Political intrigues around Boeing are still heating up. On August 17, Australian intelligence agencies said that the phone of Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, who most sharply criticized Vladimir Putin in connection with the Boeing crash, was tapped for two weeks while she was on visits to Ukraine, the United States and Holland. The intelligence services already know who exactly organized the “wiretapping”, but have not yet said, writes Herald Sun, noting that all serious negotiations remained inaccessible to spies - the prime minister conducted them through encrypted channels.
Despite active propaganda in Western media, among American politicians and journalists there are opponents of the general line of criticism of the Russian authorities. A former political commentator for the Associated Press is confident that the conflict has been artificially inflated and the Ukrainian military is involved in the Boeing crash. Robert Parry. On August 3, he published an independent report citing his sources in American intelligence - information about the causes of the disaster is deliberately distorted in favor of the Ukrainian side, while there is no evidence of Russia’s guilt in this matter.
"Intelligence analysts' working theory is that the Ukrainian military used Buk and military aircraft to hunt down Russian aircraft, possibly Russian President Vladimir Putin's, on its way back from South America," Parry's intelligence source said.
The source added that the analysis of American intelligence did not involve the country's top leadership, for example, the president, in this scandal Petra Poroshenko or prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. Parry writes that the attack may have been orchestrated by some extremist groups or by some of the Ukrainian oligarchs who prefer an aggressive approach to waging war against ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine.
The former American Republican senator also adheres to the version of the conspiracy. Ron Paul, he also drew attention to the lack of hard evidence from American intelligence. American authorities “know a lot more than they say” and are “probably hiding the truth,” Paul argues in his article on the Voices of Liberty website. According to the politician, most of this information will not be made public.
“All we heard from American intelligence was that they have no evidence of Russian involvement. Nevertheless, the military propaganda machine managed to convince Americans that Russia was to blame for everything,” writes the former senator.
Obstacles to establishing the truth
The criminal investigation into the Boeing crash is being conducted under the control of Eurojust with the participation of Interpol. Representatives of 12 countries whose passengers were victims of the disaster, as well as the Ukrainian authorities, were allowed to access the materials. Last week it became known that the participants in the investigation signed an agreement according to which information about the progress of the investigation will be disclosed only with the consent of all interested parties.
The Dutch press, citing its aviation experts, writes that the culprits of the disaster may be announced by the authorities only in a few years, as was the case with the American Boeing that exploded over Lockerbie in 1988, the reasons for the crash of which became known only three years later. Italian pilots at aviation forums are even less optimistic. They compare the story of Malaysia Airlines Boeing to the downing of an Itavia passenger plane over the Mediterranean island of Ustica in 1980, killing 81 people. Then French fighters allegedly confused the passenger DC-9 with a similar aircraft, on which the Libyan leader was flying on a parallel course Muammar Gaddafi.
It took thirty years for the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation to recognize that there was sufficient evidence in favor of the version of an air-to-air missile fired from a French Air Force aircraft. The cause of the disaster has not yet been officially established, and 12 people related to the investigation, according to media reports, died under unclear circumstances.
On July 17, a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 crashed. 298 passengers and crew members of the plane flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur were killed. Unfortunately, flight MH17 crashed over war-torn Ukraine, and in particular through the Donetsk People's Republic. The flight is standard. The Malaysian company is known among carriers for its safety. Ukraine, Russia, and for some reason the United States put forward their own versions of what happened. It’s strange how a country located a thousand miles away from the tragedy reacts so quickly to a catastrophe in another part of the globe. And even with ready-made versions of accusations against the Russian armed forces.
Let’s omit the versions voiced by the governments of different countries. The entire Internet and news channels were filled with opinions about this tragedy.
We will draw attention to some inconsistencies, absurdities and strange circumstances of the crash.
Let's start with the fact that many experts and representatives of countries agreed that the main version of the crash of the airliner is the version of the explosion of the plane from a surface-to-air missile fired from the Buk air defense system. However, according to the latest data:
International experts working on siteMalaysian Boeing 777 crashcompleted the first stage of the search, finding ourselves at a dead end. Experts were unable to collect and examine the wreckage of the airliner, which means it will most likely not be possible to prove the version of the missile attack on the aircraft..
Remember the strange disappearance of the same Boeing 777, and the same Malaysia Airlines, in March of this year. The plane was never found, just as the place where it crashed into the ocean was not reliably found. Apart from an oily stain on the surface of the ocean, not a single item from the missing liner was found. Why do we remember this disappearance? And besides, quite viable versions have recently appeared on the global Internet that the plane did not just disappear. Allegedly, the plane was hijacked and landed at the American military base in Diego Garcia.
Control of the ocean
The American base of Diego Garcia is located on an atoll included in the Chagos archipelago. It is 1600 km away. South of the Hindustan Peninsula. The base, stuffed with warships, tracking and radio interception equipment, and satellite direction-finding and control equipment, is located practically in the center of the Indian Ocean. Almost all air and sea routes pass through this atoll. That is, the US military has the ability to control the movements of all vehicles in the area. And it’s strange that the disappearance of the passenger liner went unnoticed by them. The plane, which landed at the US Navy base, was prepared for a secret operation and then transported to Holland. Then, when day "X" arrives, the plane takes off on the standard route MH17.
Note. The identification number of the missing Boeing 777 flight MH370 is 9M-MRO, and the identification number of flight MH17 that died in the skies of Donetsk is 9M-MRD. The rooms are very similar. The difference is one letter.
Further oddities with the passengers “inhabiting” the strange flight. The following data was obtained by Facebook users who, based on the passports seen in the news, checked some of the deceased individuals. A very interesting pattern emerged: all passengers, both children and adults, were registered as Facebook users. Further more, they registered on the same day (!?), April 21, almost two months after the strange disappearance of B 777. Everyone knows that Facebook was created by American “specialists,” in particular the CIA. Therefore, there were no traces of special activity on Facebook pages or dead passengers.
With the passports found at the crash site, things are also not simple. There is already a certain parallel with the tragedy of September 11 in America. And here and there they find brand new (!) passports without traces of smoke, burning or soot. Just new!?
Since the bulk of the passengers (139 people) were Dutch, it is not surprising that most of the passports found were passports of Dutch nationals. Yes, but why did some of them have holes? And they were clearly visible in the photographs! And thus, passports in Holland are invalidated.
Passengers and relatives? Dead Souls?
The hero himself, of Gogol’s immortal work, would be amazed at the ingenuity, and at the same time, the endless stupidity and stereotypes of those specials. services that probably had a hand in the tragedy in the skies of Ukraine. Those militia fighters who were directly at the crash site noted a strong cadaverous smell. Despite the intense heat and the explosion on board, the bodies cannot begin to decompose in such a short period of time and emit a strong odor. And the militia fighters, who have been fighting for months, can hardly be suspected of lacking experience in handling corpses. Then there is the strange behavior of the relatives of the victims.
Everyone knows perfectly well how the media loves to savor the tragedy of close relatives of the victims. All news channels are filled with photos and videos of people mourning their loved ones. Committees of relatives are being created, they demand a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the death. In general, the media are earning their living in full. In this case we have complete silence. Strange, if not sinister. Even on the Internet. Maybe because the virtual corpses did not have virtual relatives? Or was it simply that the tragedy scenario was not thought through to the end? Or maybe something just went wrong with overseas directors? There are still more questions than answers. Moreover, no one is going to answer us. All interested parties, well, really want the philistine masses to eat up the piece of information thrown at them and not ask unnecessary, uncomfortable questions.
And the version with the participation of American specials. services, is quite viable and has a right to exist. In any case, until the true cause and background of the July tragedy becomes known.
Valery Smirnov especially for
Exactly three years ago, a Malaysian Airlines plane was shot down in eastern Ukraine over uncontrolled territories.
The Boeing 777-200ER, performing scheduled flight MH17 on the Amsterdam-Kuala Lumpur route, crashed to the ground near the village of Grabovo. All 298 people on board died - 283 passengers and 15 crew members. This disaster in terms of the number of deaths became the largest in the history of aviation since September 11, 2001 and entered the top ten largest air disasters in history (9th place). It became the largest plane crash of the 21st century in the post-Soviet space.
Battle in the skies
Several days before the disaster, several aircraft accidents occurred in the ATO zone.
By that time, it had already become clear that the separatists had powerful air defense systems, which, as the Ukrainian side claimed, were supplied to them by Russia.
On July 14, in the Luhansk region, at an altitude of 6,500 meters, separatists shot down a Ukrainian military transport aircraft An-26, on July 16, a Su-25 was shot down, and another Su-25 was fired at from a MANPADS. In total, in June-July 2014, losses of more than ten manned aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force were reported in this area.
The Ukrainian authorities closed the airspace above the conflict zone for civil aviation flights from July 1, 2014 to an altitude of 7900 meters, and from July 14 to an altitude of 9800 meters. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) issued a statement according to which, according to its data, there were no restrictions on flights in the area through which the Malaysian airliner was traveling.
The European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation indicates that on the route of the airliner, the space was closed by the Ukrainian authorities to flight level FL320 (9800 meters), and at flight level FL330 (10058 meters), at which the plane was flying, flights were allowed.
This was the basis for making claims against Ukraine that it was responsible for not completely closing the airspace over the conflict zone, despite the fact that there was already a war in the air there. It is on this basis to Ukraine.

At the same time, this year an interesting fact was leaked to the media: on July 16, 2014, Russia decided that from 00:00 on July 17, 2014, the Russian airspace adjacent to Ukraine in the area of responsibility of the Rostov zonal center of the unified air traffic management system will be closed. movement up to an altitude of more than 16 kilometers.
The International Commission of Inquiry into the crash of the Malaysian Boeing 777 on flight MH17 today released the first preliminary results of its work.
In August 2014, the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) was created. Representatives of Russia were not included in it. Today in The Hague the results of the investigation of the International Investigation Team were presented. Here are 10 facts that have emerged from this investigation.
Let us emphasize, only facts, without any value judgments and only from this investigation.
Fact No. 1. 12 countries participated in the investigation.
The international investigation team includes representatives from the Netherlands, Australia, Malaysia, Belgium and Ukraine, acting in support of the UN Security Council resolution.
Investigation video from JIT (in English)
Fact No. 2. Investigators completely ruled out the version of an air attack, which was considered a priority by the Russian Investigative Committee.
According to Fred Westerbeke, there is no doubt that the airliner was shot down by a surface-to-air missile:
“At first, the investigative team ruled out two possible scenarios - an accident and a terrorist act inside the plane, and then focused on the scenario of the destruction of the Boeing by another plane, which was also ruled out, based on radar data provided by Russia, Ukraine and an analysis of negotiations between aircraft and air traffic controllers. earth. Therefore, the investigation claims that MH17 was shot down."
Fact No. 3. The airliner was shot down by a 9M38 series surface-to-air missile used in the Buk anti-aircraft missile system.
A missile from a Buk launcher was stuck in the Boeing cockpit.
The investigation compared fragments of the alleged weapon found at the crash site with comparison material. For this purpose, various types of missiles of the 9M38 series of the Buk air defense system were disassembled and a comparative analysis of this support material was carried out with metal fragments found at the crash site.

Fact No. 4. The Buk was located near the village of Snezhnoye. The launch site was under the control of the separatists of their DPR.

Map of the location of the Buk and Boeing installations.
“The investigation team believes that the Buk was launched from a farm field located near the village of Pervomaiskoye, which was under the control of the separatists. The missile launch site was under rebel control,” Wilbert Paulissen said.
The fact that the Buk fired from an area near Snizhne is based on numerous evidence, including work on the spot. Additional evidence was provided by the United States and the European Space Agency.
Fact No. 5. The anti-aircraft missile system was brought from Russia and after the Boeing was fired upon, it was sent back to Russia.
Video: Animation-reconstruction of the Buk movement from Russia.
“The international investigative team was able to establish most of the route followed by the Buk air defense system to the territory of Ukraine, as well as its route in the opposite direction.
This was made possible by processing information obtained from recordings of intercepted telephone conversations, witness statements, photographs and videos posted on social networks, as well as video material that had not yet been made public and was obtained from a witness.
The air defense missile system moved from the territory of Russia to the territory of Eastern Ukraine and was later transported on a white Volvo tractor and a trawl. This vehicle was accompanied by several cars and people in military uniform,” international investigators reported.
Fact No. 6. The Russian side’s version that the launch was carried out from the Zaroshchenskoye area was not confirmed.
Interception of negotiations regarding Zaroshchensky
Investigators came to the conclusion that the shot could not have come from Zaroshchensky (this place was indicated in Russia as the alleged location of the Buk). Representatives of the investigation said they checked the Russian version, and this version was found to be unfounded.
“There was no beech there, and moreover, in July Zaroshchenskoye was controlled by separatists. The fact that the Buk fired from an area near Snizhne is based on numerous evidence, including studies of the area.”
Fact No. 7. The investigation does not know for sure whether the shooting of the Boeing was intentional or accidental. But in the recordings of the negotiations there was a sense of surprise after the disaster.
Fact No. 7. Investigators have not yet accused either Russia or any specific Russian citizens.
So far, no one is officially considered a suspect. In their statements, the investigators spoke as carefully as possible about the role of Russia. They never directly said that the country was to blame or involved in the disaster. But they definitely established that the installation with its crew was brought across the border by an organized group.
“...An investigation into the command structure is ongoing. Who gave the order to bring the BUK self-propelled gun system to Ukraine and who ordered the downing of flight MH17? Did the BUK crew make the decision on their own, or did they follow the orders of their command? These questions are important for the classification of crimes committed by suspected perpetrators.” (Quote from a press release from the International Investigation Team).
Fact No. 8. JIT informed the relatives of the victims that investigators know the names of 100 people involved in the death of MH17.
The Netherlands' chief prosecutor, Fred Westerbeke, reiterated that he found the evidence convincing. According to him, the investigation has outlined a circle of 100 people who, in one way or another, may be involved in the death of the Boeing.
It is emphasized that we are talking about suspects, not accused. Because the investigation needs to establish whether the crew acted independently or on orders.
Fact No. 9. The investigation period has been extended until 2018.
Chronicle of a diving corpse carrier
Total annual budget of the intelligence community USA, which includes 17 organizations, the largest of which are the CIA, State Department and NSA, as well as their contractors, is about 100 billion. dollars. And this money needs to be harnessed and clear results shown to those who call the tune.
The true customers of the vile staging of the Boeing MH17
Today we have witnessed another global staging (similar to the events of 9/11), which is designed to push the world to a global change to establish a “New World Order”, and, as a consequence of the provocation, to eliminate the stubborn “competitor” in the form of Russia. As old Brzezinski, Parkinson’s friend, used to say, “The new world order under US hegemony is being created against Russia, at the expense of Russia and on the ruins of Russia”.
How this will be done and what other inhumane and blasphemous methods will be chosen by the dark power we will probably still have to see. Now I would like to cite some reposts and my own thoughts, which indicate the obvious staging of this catastrophe for the further escalation of events, provocation of Russia and whipping up mass worldwide hysteria against it. At a minimum, everything you read below raises a lot of questions because, as in the events of 9/11, it is sewn with white thread.
So, the chronology of events
In March, a Malaysia Airlines plane was hijacked and allegedly disappeared completely and without a trace. In fact, it was ferried to the American military base, Diego Garcia. Then he was transported to the Netherlands. On Thursday 17 July 2014 he flew to Malaysia.
The plane was flown by live pilots, and radio exchanges were carried out with them by Ukrainian dispatchers. Inside the cabin there were not living people loaded, but corpses. A little earlier in the combat area, the so-called ATO, Ukrainian Armed Forces are overtaking complexes Beech in quantity 27 things. On the day of the plane's flight, they show great radar activity, tracking all passing planes.
Ukrainian air traffic controllers deliberately change the plane's course to fly over the battle zone
Then the same controllers lower the flight altitude so that missiles from either Ukrainian aircraft or Ukrainian Buks can reach it. The action takes place 50 km from the Russian border. If a plane crashed on the territory of the rebellious Donbass - good, on the territory of the Russian Federation - even better.
The plane is shot down by the Ukrainian military, only Ukro-Khunta and USA interested in this dramatization.
Two Ukrainian fighter jets were seen near the plane before it disappeared from radar. There are sounds in the sky three explosions, the plane falls apart in mid-air. Immediately before the explosion, they are separated from it two points that later turned out to be parachutists.
One of the corpses that fell from the sky in the fields of Donbass
Many corpses look very strange right at the moment of falling. Some of them, clearly not fresh, exude a corpse-like smell, as if they had been lying in a warm place for several days. Surely the militia knows what fresh corpses look like. Others seem to be made of plastic drained of blood And formalized.
The fire at the crash site has just ended
The fallen fragments of the plane are severely deformed and torn into pieces, a fire starts at the crash site, aviation fuel is burning, and black smoke is coming out.
The rocket exploded directly in front of the cockpit
The cabin of the plane was cut by destructive elements that arrived from the outside and was filled from the inside with the human blood of the pilots; apparently, not everyone was able to leave the plane before the attack, and most likely, part of the crew was left “to be slaughtered.”
In the cabin of the plane were hung blood bags, after the fall, empty shells were visible.
Immediately after the plane crashes, Ukrainian artillery begins shelling the crash site in order to distort the entrance holes of the weapons with multiple hits from shell fragments.
Transfer of the black boxes of the downed Boeing by the militias to the Netherlands for an “objective” investigation
At the crash site of the plane, they throw up destructive elements from a modern modification of the Bukov, which is not in service with Ukraine.
During 4 days to the plane crash site doesn't leave neither the OSCE, nor international experts, nor pathologists. For four days the corpses and their fragments lay on the ground in the heat and rain, ripening and coming into the form desired by the customer of this whole farce.
After the plane crash, in a plastic bag, in perfect condition at the crash site they throw in new passports citizens of Malaysia, the Netherlands and other countries who allegedly crashed Boeing passengers.
Passports are readily shown to everyone; they are filmed by videographers from foreign companies.
Shining with novelty, holey passports of “those who died in the disaster”
Passports with three through holes - this is how passports are canceled in Holland, and with such passports they are not allowed to leave the country.
Were discovered and whole boarding passes. Whole - that is, literally whole, with the passenger spine not torn off. As you know, when boarding an airplane, the boarding pass is torn into two parts - the stub remains with the passenger, and the main part with the passenger’s passport data remains with the boarding team on the ground, just in order to accurately take into account who exactly boarded the plane and in what quantity?
Moreover, the date was found on some entire boarding passes July 18– one day later than departure. This is absolutely fantastic.
The plane allegedly contained 280 passengers and 15 crew members, and 239 corpses were found.
When journalists showed passports in a double-page spread, the passengers’ details were clearly visible there. Users of foreign forums were not lazy and conducted their own mini-investigation, during which it was discovered that the people whose passports were shown by journalists “really exist” - they have profiles on Facebook. But - attention!– the profiles of these seemingly completely independent people were registered at the same time: April 21, 2013. (Already in April 2013 they were preparing a provocation, you bastards!).
All of these profiles are similar in that there is nothing on these pages other than photos uploaded on the day of registration. Also, these users have no friends, no posts of any kind, no likes on pages - absolutely nothing! The pages are blank.
In any plane crash, the first thing we see on our television screens is not the crash site, but relatives of the victims. So - during the first day, no relatives were shown, with the exception of a couple of strange people - a hysterically crying woman (as it later turned out, the mother of the flight attendant of this plane) and some man. And only then (apparently the organizers realized the mistake) began customizing extras of "relatives of passengers" who were accommodated in the same hotel and who did not give any interviews.
On YouTube the day before the disaster a “recording of separatist negotiations” about the downed Boeing was posted. Then the recording was removed and a day later it was uploaded again.
The “ripe” corpses are then collected and sent by plane to the Netherlands.
The whole world has become an arena for an American show with a Boeing shot down over Ukraine
The meeting of the corpses of the untimely deceased “citizens of the country” is arranged with truly royal pomp. Laid out in coffins, it is unknown whose corpses are carried out solemnly, with a measured step, by the military. The royal couple and numerous retinue stand at the plane's steps, shedding tears.
However, for some reason no relatives of the deceased, this is understandable, the ubiquitous journalists will immediately unearth that the citizens of a small country did not have any of their relatives die. Except, perhaps, the crew members.
Maybe the “relatives” were not allowed onto the airfield? There are none at the airport, where a small crowd is laying flowers...
By the way, all "relatives", and they, as you remember, from different countries, unanimously and unanimously refused to give interviews, appear on television and seek help from psychologists. Those. behaved completely differently from how relatives of the deceased usually behave.
Immediately after the disaster, European and American tabloids massively and hysterically began to promote the news about the Boeing being “shot down by the separatists.” The news is served with a chilling sauce.
A separatist removes a gold ring from a corpse's hand
Numerous punctures and inconsistencies do not at all bother the Jewish owners of Western and North American media. But actually, why worry, because the media belongs to the Zionists, and they will print whatever the owners say.
As Nazi Germany's Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels liked to say, “A lie told a hundred times becomes the truth.” This is the truth that the Jewish media feed the whole world, including Russia.
And what is most surprising in this story is that the truth about the staging was not given in any major Russian national media. Basically, excuses are made that neither Russia nor the militia could shoot down this damned Boeing.
The best so-called “Sicilian Defense” in chess is defense by attack. And in general, it’s clear why the Russian elite, so intertwined with the West, frankly became afraid to tell the truth about this vile staging of their so-called partners from USA And European Union.
Who needed this large-scale and brazen staging and why? Political situation in the world on the eve of the crash of the Malaysian Boeing 777:
1. The creation of a single US-EU trade area has actually been thwarted.
2. EU countries refuse to introduce the so-called third package of sanctions and act as a united front together with the United States against Russia.
3. German Chancellor Angela Merkel actually spoke out against the United States, calling for trilateral consultations with the participation of representatives of Novorossiya.
4. In Europe and the world, massive calls began to be heard to stop the bloodshed in the South-East of Ukraine.
5. In Ukraine itself, the process of awareness by the population of the impending catastrophe in the economy and housing and communal services has begun.
The situation on the fronts of South-East Ukraine:
1. The troops of the Kyiv authorities failed to break ties between Donetsk and Lugansk.
2. The troops of the Kyiv authorities failed to release the garrisons at Donetsk and Lugansk airports.
3. Three “cauldrons” formed in the southern direction, into which about 5 thousand people from the armed forces of Ukraine, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the national guard and the so-called “volunteer battalions” fell.
4. The death of personnel of the Kyiv junta troops and the destruction of equipment became widespread.
5. In the center and west of Ukraine, public protests against the continuation of the war began to acquire a dangerous scale for Kyiv.
Thus, instead of the expected victories and successes, USA, other than inciting conflict in Ukraine, they achieved nothing. And after the US plans began to collapse, an even more urgent need arose to further escalate the military conflict in order to involve Russia in it.
However, despite numerous provocations at the border, which resulted, among other things, in the death of Russian citizens, attempts to tighten sanctions, the desired result was not achieved. And then, just in time, on the territory controlled by the rebels of Novorossiya, a Malaysian Boeing crashes...
Dutch experts collected from the wreckage what was left of the Boeing. But this did not add clarity to them. It shouldn't have!
