Boeing 777 shot down

Yeah, I'm sure the Taliban have got that sort of capability.

I didn't say they did. However, for our military jets to take off and land in Afghanistan they must have Defence Aid Suites as per MOD protocol due to the Surface to Air Fire threat that is present. My point was, international civilian flights still fly through areas of conflict.

Jets fly a lot lower than commercial aircraft.
 
Russian PR is for its own people,so do you really think people will believe anything they say especially with the xenophobia we have against the commie Russkies,or the xenophobia in Russia against the west??

If that were true why is Russia Today available of Freeview in this country? What about the army of Nashi bots who post the most vitriolic tosh on any anti-Putin article in the Guardian or Independent? Why did so many people on this forum believe that the chemical weapon attack was a false flag attack carried out by the Syrian rebels?

Why are western media outlets being broadcast around the world then?? Or the US military doing crap like this:

Pot calling kettle black.

Sorry,I am not getting into all this masked xenophobia crap. At any one point in the last 200 years in the UK alone,we have had some "enemy" who is horrible and foreign,just like the Russians,just like so many other "great powers". All politics of fear and xenophobia. Putins doing it. Our lot our doing it. Somewhere in Africa someone else is doing it and so on.Always have. History is full of that.

We are all the same,just primitive tribal Apes,who despite knowing what we are doing is pointless still do it. I am sick of all the nationalistic and xenophobic nonsense - I lived through one war and it has just showed how fruitless all of it is.

Yes,we had all the pointless chanting from both sides in that one. All ****ing for nought.

They are all at it,and have been for 100s of years. If you don't think so you are extraordinary naive.

Some really morbid, mental remarks by I. Strelkov the defense minister of self proclaimed DPR. According to him - their 'might' have been number of 'unfresh' bodies on the board, suspicious amount of spec medication and uncharacteristic equipment (prolly never heard about Aids conference).
Though he admits that he is not proponent of conspiracy theories and we should wait for further investigation.

I love how you post evidence in Russian. It could say anything! :p
 
Googlefu to the rescue:

"According to the people who collected the bodies, most of corpses - "stale" - people have died several days ago. For complete accuracy of this information can not answer - of course, necessary to conclude forensic experts."

''I.I.: "First, not all people on the plane were dead before the fall.
Secondly, the plane was discovered a large quantity of drugs, blood serum and other things, which is not typical for conventional liner. It seems that there was a medical special-load.
Third, no not insist on anything (yet). Literally just now talked to two people personally collected the bodies immediately after the fall (both - of Shakhtersk and arrived at the scene in less than half an hour after the accident). With their words and write. They stressed that many corpses were "entirely bloodless" - as if the blood curled long before the disaster. Also noted the strongest and putrid smell, marked by many locals - this odor in any weather for half an hour could not be formed, and the weather was overcast yesterday, not too hot.
Fourth, himself with extreme suspicion concern to all kinds of "conspiracy theory", but 18 of our soldiers poisoned chemistry in position in Semenovka, shooting family members of militias and other "small pleasures svedomyh patriots" have convinced me that the Ukrainian authorities are capable of any meanness.

Pilots, of course, were quite alive - the whole cabin (and the front end is well preserved) was literally flooded with their blood. "
 
I wonder if countermeasures would have saved the plane?

Very unlikely against that system I'm afraid! Even if the CM did work, one vehicle has 4 missiles on the rail. In a standard battery they have two of these TELARS and one TEL that acts as reloader. The TEL can also fire off missiles, even though it has no RADAR, so long as it is accompanied with a TELAR (that do have RADARs). So you're looking at 12 missiles all being able to be fired in close succession, with the ability to reload very quickly. In this incident though, assuming it was just this one TELAR, that is still more than enough to shoot down one jet with DAS.

Having said this, how likely is it that commercial jets the world over will have DAS installed as a level of protection should the unthinkable occur? Could you imagine the cost!

Apparently a couple of senior rebel leaders have "resigned". Hints that blame does indeed lie on the rebel/Russian side if they've realised it's gone too far.
 
its best to wait for the evidence, propoganda will ruin this outcome though..


we just don't know. But like everything, there is a 3rd way the way that leads to the tinfoil hats. So as Im not upto speed with this what is the official consipiracy around this ???

either way its extremley sad for all involved (Apart from the perpertrators)

Western media being broadcast around the world is usually to generate extra revenue, since they're all independent companies etc.

"Because they do X, it's all right for us to do Y" is such a tedious argument.

Next time quote all what I am saying. Also,it shows you how naive you are TBH.

All media has vested interests,if not for finanical but ideological reasons,unless you think Fox news is really an unbiased news source. You really don't understand history very well do you when it comes to PR and propaganda? You can live in your little glass house and go la!la!la!la! and its your right. This is the internet after all. Like I said you can go all nationalistic and xenophobic as much as you wish,just like all the drones through history. I am sure 5 years from now,you will replace "Russian" with "Chinese",and so on,just like in Russia China is now a good mate and not the enemy they were even 30 years ago.

The thing is I have seen you comment quite a bit on how the Russians are causing problems - so why don't you go and help the Ukranian volunteers fighting the red russkie scourge then??

Surely better than being an armchair general on the interwebz??

More and more people in the world,are not going to put up with us doing something and then telling others they are not allowed to the same thing.

Do you really think just because you are born in a western country or have citizenship of one that gives you more rights to do what you want in the world,and that the rest should just put up and shut up? Just as you are selfish,so are people in other countries.

You mean like when we forcibly spread Christianity as part of our empires?? The people at the time thought they were better than the rest of the world,and justified in what they were doing bringing proper culture to the world. Look at how wrong history has judged us now.

Look at India and nuclear weapons. We tried our best to stop them getting them but it failed and we were arrogant to think denying a country of a billion people the same technological rights as us.

They will look at our example and copy us. Nuclear weapons being a case in hand. Have enough nukes and the right delivery systems,and no-one would want to invade you and you can do what you pretty much want it seems.

C4 news reporting that the rebels are blocking air crash investigators from examining the scene in Eastern Ukraine.

Surprised in Ukraine at the moment that was their first experience of burnt human flesh.
