I think it’s because it is asserting that it was Russians that shot it down.
Looks like it was shot down using Gadfly or Grizzly – BUK missile system. It will make It nearly impossible to identify who shot it down. Used by Russian and Ukrainian military and probably in the hands of irregular forces in Ukraine
Seems the intelligent guess would be that the rebels fired it without proper information as to what they were firing at. Apparently the BUK system can be operated in such a manner by the local operator of the launch system.
Huge efforts being made by the guests on Newsnight to shift the blame onto Russia.
Lots of commercial airline already avoiding Ukraine airspace…Ukraine strongly suggesting terrorist involvement
Why were Norwegian airlines refused to fly over Russian airspace 5 hours before, on the exact same route? What do not Something is very fishy. Using a buk rocket (how do they know that already?) is a good cover.

Everyone stock up on guns and dry food. Things are going to get messy.
Based on irregular forces claiming to have downed a military jet using the Gadfly around the same time today
Interesting spin from the Russian side… RT reporting that the Ukrainian’s* intended target was in fact Putin’s plane of which was flying in the region only two hours earlier…
*the broad assumption and implication that the Ukrainians fired the missile….
Very sad news. The question as to why commercial airlines were flying over a disputed zone, where Unkrainian military planes had been shot down, needs to be answered.
Wonder how all these well-educated Westerners feel about working as Putin ptopagandists.
Was away on business for a few weeks and kept picking up snippets of the different rolling news channels. The likes of BBC and CNN and even Al Jazeera have agendas to some degree but RT is atrocious – pure Russian govt spin
@Cluster… were you expecting something different from the propaganda channel for the Russian government…. In 2013 President Putin stated “Certainly the channel is funded by the government, so it cannot help but reflect the Russian government’s official position”
Must….distract…public…
Jim Coor.. is that you????…yeah.. this was all done to distract us from the Garth Brooks saga..
Aliens.
Putin and Blatter were best buddies the other day. Country pop!
