Russia's Investigative Committee has
confirmed the claims by a Ukrainian
airbase worker, who said he witnessed
the deployment of a Ukrainian warplane
armed with air-to-air missiles on the
day the Malaysian Airlines flight MH17
was shot down. He reports that the pilot,
Captain Vladislav Voloshin returned from
his sortie very frightened, saying, "The
plane was in the wrong place at the
wrong time."
These revelations would confirm why the
US and NATO satellite images were
withheld, why Kiev has refused to
cooperate with the investigation, why
Malaysia was barred from the investigation
and also why the crash site was so hastily
and obviously tampered with, as confirmed
by German investigators.
According to VT Editor, Jim W. Dean, it will
be a credibility disaster for Kiev [to say
nothing of US and NATO], if they continue
to frame the Separatists for the downing of
the airliner - and to continue to blame Russia
for indirectly supplying the ground-to-air
missile, which was NOT involved in this
incident.
Dean says, "The incident investigators,
especially the Dutch and the airline
associations failed horribly in their duties,
obviously standing down due to orders
from top political authorities. It is time to
begin a formal investigation of the
investigation to put the heat on whoever
obstructed justice.
"This case should be the watershed for a
complete makeover on how future
investigations can be done, with firewalls put
in place to block political interference and
punishments for violations including flight
sanctions for any country involved in
suppressing an air accident investigation.
"Blocking a proper investigation recreates a
9/11 type event, where the guilty still walk
among us, knowing they got away, scot-free
on 9/11, and instigates criminal negligence
from those sworn to protect us..."
As reported by Komsomolskaya Pravda
newspaper on December 23, a Ukrainian
airbase employee's has come forward as a
witness to the Ukrainian air force Su-25 combat
jet, which took off from an airbase in eastern
Dnipropetrovsk carrying air-to-air missiles -
and returned without them on the day the
Malaysia Airlines plane crashed in eastern
Ukraine last July.
The airbase worker interviewed did not
exclude the possibility that an Su-25 pilot
could confuse a Boeing passenger airliner
with a military jet. "This could be. There was
quite a long distance, he could have failed to
see what exactly that plane was."
The missiles carried by the Su-25 are capable
of targeting an object at a 3-5-kilometer
(1-3 mile) distance, and to an altitude of 7,000
meters (23,000 feet), the source stressed.
"With jet's raised nose, it is not a problem to
fix a target and launch a missile. The flying
range of this missile is over 10 kilometers,"
according to the airbase worker.
He further said that the missile is capable of
hitting a plane fuselage, whether directly or
from a distance of 500 meters. The density
of the objects which hit the MH17 was very
high, and these findings did not exclude the
downing of the plane by a missile. He says
there was such a missile: It explodes and its
shrapnel punctures the plane, and after that,
the missile warhead strikes it.
The Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 crashed
on July 17 in the Donetsk region, as it was
flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. All
298 people on board were killed. Two Kiev
air traffic controllers responsible for diverting
the plane into the war zone have allegedly fled
Ukraine and they remain in hiding.
