In the Hague continues hearings on the case about the crash “Malaysian airlines” in the sky over the Donbass in 2014. Speaking on Tuesday, Dutch prosecutors are confident the plane was in range of Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile system “Buk”, which means that Kiev can not be involved in the tragedy. The official version of Moscow, recall, is that the plane was shot down by members of the armed forces of Ukraine (APU) with the help of missiles, deployed in the conflict zone of the Ternopil region.The second after an enforced absence (due to pandemic coronavirus) day of the trial was memorable for the speeches of the representatives of the Prosecutor’s office. Recall, District court of the Hague aims to prove the involvement or innocence of the former force commander of the self-proclaimed Donetsk national Republic (DND) Igor strelkov (Girkin) and three of his subordinates — Oleg Pulatova, Sergey Dubinsky and Leonid Kharchenko — the catastrophe of the plane “Malaysian airlines” in the sky over the Donbas. None of the defendants at meetings is not present, however, the interests of Mr. Pulatov is represented by counsel.If June 8, the first day after a two-month break, the prosecution spoke in detail about the telephone conversations of the leaders of the self-proclaimed DND, arguing that those used “secure communications that cannot be purchased in the free market”, this time discussed the missile, which was, as expected, shot down the plane.The version with explosion on Board, or attack military aircraft in the Hague called unconvincing. “Experts believe that the lack of such data does not mean that there was no missile,” said one of the prosecutors, explaining that the radar often do not notice the missiles.Read deleary this case the Prosecutor is convinced that the missile that shot down Malaysian Boeing, can not be Ukrainian. “There is no evidence indicating that the plane was in the radius in which it could shoot down the Ukrainian armed forces,”— said the representative of the prosecution (quoted by “Interfax”). And explained that the experts were able to narrow the area from which could be fired a rocket, and that the surroundings of the village of Pervomaysky Donetsk region. “This small area was completely beyond the control of the armed forces of Ukraine”,— said the speaker.Recall that the official version of Moscow on the case of the death of flight MH-17 is that the plane was shot down by Ukrainian missiles “Buk”, had been transferred from the Ternopil region. Such a conclusion of the Russian military made, identifying the tail number of missiles in the wreckage. In September 2018 the General-Lieutenant Nikolay Parshin claimed that, according to the journal found in the archives of the Dolgoprudny research and production enterprise, which are Pro��assigned a Buk missile system, the missile was transported on the territory of Ukraine in 1986 and to return to Russia could not.However, the Dutch Prosecutor’s office has made it clear he did not much trust the Russian officials. it is also Worth noting that SAM “Buk” old and new versions differ in the type of the striking element. At the same time on arms of the Ukrainian army are obsolete air defense system, produced in the Soviet time and the Russian army — new. According to the Prosecutor TASA Berger, the fragments extracted from the bodies of the dead, “have more similarities with a missile “Buk” type 9M38M1 than 9M38″. That is, he was probably talking about the missile currently in service in Russia. This conclusion was done on the basis of the fragment in the shape of a butterfly, found in the body of the commander of the crew of MH-17.These fragments mentioned in 2015, when Sony insisted that if the plane was indeed shot down by the new Russian missile 9M38M1, the damage in the form of a butterfly would be multiple, and in the hull of the wreckage was not at all. At the moment the Investigative Committee of Russia considered the priority version of the destruction of the liner combat aircraft, which Moscow later dropped.Kirill Krivosheev
