> Remember: firing the rocket must have been done by the army, not by some NSA like agency. That increases the risk of leaks. Sure. But by how much? Ukrainians were actively moving their BUK launchers around at the time, so the movement itself wasn't going to raise suspicions. The firing itself is going to involve a dozen of officers. Other soldiers will see the rocket and this will leak? Don't know. The opposing soldiers have also definitely seen the rocket, and you would suppose this is not their secret, so you'd expect them to just tell the journalists? Nothing. > You write like there is a cover up here, but what do those guys have to win by blaming one part instead of the other? Or to lose. US government has consistently expressed a strong opinion on this case. How do we know what influence do they have on Dutch investigators? > Western Europeans does not generally go around hating Russians trying to find something to blame them for. Sure, false flag operations are not generally guided by emotions.
