International group Bellingcat investigations to determine the exact the number of self-propelled fire installation of anti-aircraft missile systems “Buk”, which, according to Bellingcat opinion, July 17, 2014 shot down over Ukraine passenger “Boeing” Malaysian airlines made flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.
New the group’s report entitled “Beech 3×2″: the mystery of the lost numbers “and is devoted to a detailed analysis of the evidence, which can be set from which it was setup was fired
.” 17 and 18 July 2014 was shot in eastern Ukraine pictures and videos of self-propelled fire installation “Buck” at number 332 of the Russian 53rd air defense missile brigade, based in the city of Kursk region. On one of the videos that “Beech”, which we had previously designated as “Beech 3×2″, moving towards the center of the district, where, in the Security Council Assessment of the Netherlands, was launched missile shot down MH17 “, – do the authors of the report concluded
Thus, Bellingcat experts argue that using open sources, primarily publications in social networks, have identified not only the number of persons involved in the accident, “Boeing”, but also called the specific weapons, which consisted at the time in service Russian army, from which the shot was fired.
Russia has consistently denied whatsoever involvement MN17 tragedy, which killed 298 people.
the car number 332
Bellingcat it established the fact that the missile shot down “Boeing”, was launched by one of the self-propelled guns of the Russian 53rd air defense missile brigade, based at Kursk – that have been devoted to the previous investigation Bellingcat.
However, the photographs “Buka”, supposedly brought down the Malaysian airliner partially erased number, more precisely – the central figure is a three-digit number, so conventionally the “Buk” called “3×2″
“The. we have established during the analysis of open sources, that the figures are applied to the plant in accordance with the structure of the. We can say that this is a code division number. The first digit indicates the division, the second – the battery in the division, and the third – conditioned machine room in the battery “- the authors explain Bellingcat report, concluding that on an unknown” Bouquet “is not a figure indicating the battery room of the 3rd Division
in the picture” Buck “leftovers visible on paint central figures, but it is impossible to say for sure, from which of the three possible -. “1″, “2″ or “3″
Enthusiasts Bellingcat found in the social network “VKontakte” photos of all three “letter” of the division made from 2009 to 2013, and compared all identifiable in the photographs the features of each of the cars: body damage, location of the external electric wires, the shape of ink stains, oil and soot, as well as the font and spacing between numbers
Bellingcat recalls that movement.” Buka “on the east of Ukraine during the 17th and 18th of July ( ie on the day of MH17 death and the next day) fell by four photographs and three videos.
“When comparing the seven distinctive features SDA” Buck “the 53 th air defense missile brigade under the numbers 312, 322 and 332 it is clear that only “Buck 332″ there is more than one match features with “Buck 3×2″. Four of the observed features can be preserved for a long time, one partially visible at the old pictures, and the other two are missing “, – the report says
The Dutch investigation
October 13, 2015 by the Netherlands security Council investigating the causes and consequences of accidents and disasters, presented the final report on the plane crash Malaysia Airlines MH17.
it said that the cause of the accident was the rocket “Beech” , exploded on the left of the cockpit. However, conclusions about who could release the rocket, then was not done.
Experts only outlined an area of 320 square kilometers, from which could be launched rocket. In this area is the village Snow from the area which, according to Bellingcat version, launch the rocket was produced, brought down “Boeing”.
Soon after the Dutch report of the Russian defense concern “Almaz-Antey” (manufacturer of systems “Buk”) held a press conference , which presented the results of its own investigation into the circumstances of the disaster.
According to the group, the missile launch was carried out from the area south of the village Zaroshchenske that in the time of the accident was under the control of the Ukrainian security officials. On this basis the experts “Anthea” claimed that the rocket launched the Ukrainian military.
War Version
In February 2016 Bellingcat introduced, probably his most sensational publication of the ship of death -. “MH17: potential suspects and witnesses from the 53 th air defense missile brigade”
The report names are called all those who, in Bellingcat opinion, is responsible for making decisions and run missiles in passenger aircraft: the brigade commander, the commander of the 2nd battalion, part of which could go launcher. The commanders of batteries and crews are called by name and first letters of the names.
suspects list, presented in a hierarchical scheme with photos, names and positions is not limited in Bellingcat ranks teams.
The top row take four photos, which depict the supreme commander of the armed forces of Russia, Minister of Defence and his two first deputy.
in response to the publication of the Russian side – in the experts face “Antey” – produced a new and more detailed description of its version, adding to the list of potential points of launching missiles neighboring Zaroshchenske village Great Shishovka.
The blame for rocket launch is still assigned, in this version, on the Ukrainian military.
However, Bellingcat considers version “Anthea” in any of its versions untenable.
Bellingcat with certainty argues that, even if we agree with the version of “Almaz-Antey” on the point of launching a rocket, it still could not run the Ukrainian military.
On the basis of information from public sources – mainly geotagged photos on social networks – Investigative enthusiasts came to the conclusion that on 17 July, the day of the death of “Boeing” in the area Zaroshchenske was not Ukrainian plant “Buk” . as a result of checking, it was recognized that the Ukrainian “Buckow” there was also no
Bellingcat recognizes that the data collected:.
Similarly, the version of the launch point near Great Shishovki was tested do not allow to draw conclusions about which party to an armed conflict was controlled this area.
However, a comparison of available more recent data from the area allows experts Bellingcat assume that July 17, 2014 there were, as stated in the report, Russian military.
