Dutch Safety Board Releases Video Detailing MH17 Crash
After the final report released yesterday, video is now available detailing the Dutch Safety Board’s investigation into the causes of the crash of flight MH17 on 17 July 2014 in the eastern part of Ukraine and the Board’s investigation into flying over conflict zones.

Looking back I wonder what relations the crew or passengers of HM17 had with any of the crew and passengers of MH370. Since Malaysia and Indonesia do have on and off armed conflicts the flight HM370 taking a course through Indonesia's sensitive areas makes me wonder if somebody was upset at losing a friend from the airline disregarding the safety of the MH17 flight flying directly through an ongoing armed conflict. From what I read Malaysia was the first country to recognize the government formed after the coup and they both formed embassies in each others countries. Guess there was wheat deals Malaysia wanted.
Other theories floated by Russia over the past year included usage of an air-to-air rocket, possibly Israeli-made, launched by a Ukrainian plane.
All 298 people, some two-thirds of whom were Dutch, aboard the doomed Boeing-777 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur were killed when it was blown out of the air over rebel-held east Ukraine on July 17 2014.
Ukraine and its allies in the West have consistently accused rebels for downing the jet with a BUK missile system that was likely supplied by Russia, which Moscow denies.

This older missile is banned from use by Russian military as its expiration date passed in 2011, the company said.
The firm in July suggested the missile could have been the 9M38M1 model, which is a later version of the weapon.
But tests now proved that the earlier type was used, it said yesterday.

The Russian maker of BUK missiles has released videos of a missile being exploded close to the nose of decommissioned Ilyushin plane in an attempt to discredit the findings of an official inquiry into the downing of a Malaysia Airlines jet MH17.
International investigators concluded a 15-month probe into the tragedy last night and concluded that flight MH17 was shot down by a Russian-made BUK fired from rebel-held eastern Ukraine.
State-controlled Russian firm Almaz-Antey published videos of a BUK missile being exploded close to the nose of a plane in the wake of the report's release.

Like I really believe them.. UGH! Can you say Biased testing!
October 14, 2015: Traces of explosives and ferrous metal fragments were found in the MH17 cockpit and the bodies of three crew members.
The firm's glitzy presentation, which saw reams of slides projected on a giant screen, was carried live by Russia's state-run media.
It is expected to form a central plank of Moscow's rebuttal to the report from the international inquiry.
"Today we can definitively say that if the Boeing was shot down by a BUK missile system then it was hit by a 9M38 from the area of Zaroshchenske village," company official Mikhail Malyshevsky said.

I saw references to the Russian show as well and dipped into it a bit. Dod not watch the entire dog and pony show. It reminded me that the major Russian newspaper Pravda translates as ' truth' - a label rather than a description. I also read most of the Dutch report. I noted that Russia did not provide any radar or telemetry data, but only photos of purported radar screens.
The firm producing BUC missles tested their candidate missle on a stationary target which greatly changes the spray pattern dynamics. Did they publish their analysis or just the conclusions? Without analysis that can be independently verified, I don't see the 'old BUC' theory as particularly credible.
For me, it's grain-o-salt time.
The Dutch report did properly say that from where and by whom the missle came is beyond the scope of their task.
