Might have thought it was Putin’s plane...
Malaysian Airlines MH17 plane was travelling almost the same route as Russia’s President Vladimir Putin’s jet shortly before the crash that killed 295, Interfax news agency reports
Isn’t that kind of severe for Girkin/Strlkov to attempt in reprisal for not getting Putin’s armed support any earlier?
The planes were in roughly the same sector of airspace over WARSAW. The BUK has a tracking system that can acquire aircraft at a distance of max 42km. The distance from launcher location on the eastern Ukrainian border to Warsaw airspace is WAY more than 42km.
