The report is released and it basically says nothing much that we don't already know. Our PM has opened his mouth and says something that is not likely to edify anyone. :yawn:

Exactly as predicted. The report equals the droppings of a weasel. and how nicely they have maneuvered around certain things they do not want to say!

Hilarious, and a waste of time.

TarJak 09-09-14 08:44 AM

It is of course only the interim report. The final report will not be released for about another 12 months, when the media and most the sheeple will not remember the plane going down, let alone the fuss over who did it.

Skybird 09-09-14 09:00 AM

They already have announced that in that final report they will not say anything as well.

The only thing that has been confirmed by the report now is that the blackbox apparently has not been manipulated by separatists or anyone else.

At least that is what they claim.

interesting article trying to track down the Buk SAM system that shot down MH17:

Quote:

The Buk that was seen leaving the suspected area of the missile launch on the 17th of July most likely belonged to and was manned by Russian troops from the 53rd Kursk Brigade.

Dear god, vague and grainy photos that remind of the evidence given for the existence of UFOs are claimed to be "evidence", while the crystalclear and razorsharp highres pics of pieces form the cockpiut wreckage are labelled as being linked to "conspiracy theory".

:har:

One thing is clear - if I would have been at holidays in that area and had my private little BUK system with me and then get surprised by the mass media telling me that somebody shot down an airliner, then I would have tried to get away and move out my BUK as silently and unseen as possible. :03: I hate it when people point fingers at me although I did nothing...

What did the German government officially declare in parliament just days ago? "The federal government has no knowledge on info of any kind that would indicate or allow the conclusion that a missiles was used for shooting down MH17". The Germans are one of the parties participating in the examination and research, and the authoring of that report.

I still do not say that the fighter-machine-gun theory is the truth. I only say that it is the better btheory epxlaining more contradicting issues that the missile theory leaves unadressed and unexplained. Since it is the more elegant theory, it has the higher probability to be true. And all that visual "evidence" given on what happened, and Russia here and missiles there - it has the quality of and is as untestable as the kind of photos that are usually given to prove the existence of UFOs.

Too thin in substance as that should be called "evidence".

I'm not sure I'm able to believe anybody on any side now.

Will be interesting to see what the metallurgy says: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-1...gation/5741322

But with metal instead of wood.

TarJak 09-12-14 07:02 PM

Maybe or hey that metal is not used in aircraft manufacture but is used in suitcases or weapons.

What puzzles me is the fact they state they are going to such detailed and elaborate lengths but the recent report said squat.

Aktungbby 09-22-14 05:58 PM

Why such a fuss evidently par for the course
 
A little fresh perspective : http://www.scmp.com/news/world/article/1556036/timeline-tragic-history-civilian-airliner-shootdown-incidents

It probably is more appropriate to post it here:

What I said in the other thread, still is valid here: further examination of this photo is needed. Just to claim that it is photoshopped, is not good enough. The claim needs to get proven. Because just a claim could be as wrong as the photo can be forged.

Repost from the other thread:

The airliner in the photo has two engines and it looks like a long body if judging that against the form of the wings. It seems to be a long plane, with twin-engine configuration - and that matches indeed the shape of a 777 that the downed MA17 has been.

The body length of a 777 is 63-73 meters, depending on specific model. If measuring the length of the airliner versus the distance between the fighter and the airliner, I find the distance to be around 9.5x the length of the airliner. Calculating with a airliner length of 70 meters, the shooting distance then is around 660 meters. That is the range for an infrared-guided short range AAM.

The pilot must have had visual contact then. At same altitude, he probably could not see the engine configuration, could not see whether there were two or four engines, the silhouette would allowed to see that if being at a higher or lower altitude, maybe. Maybe the pilot got an idea of the colour scheme, however.

And here we are at that old scenario again that was described as a possibility some weeks earlier - that maybe it was an intentional Ukrainian attack against the presidential Russian machine, an IL-96 with 4 engines. As I earlier showed, the colours schemes are anything but impossible to be mistaken.

http://teluguandhranews.com/wp-conte.../07/plane1.jpg

Examination of this satellite image is needed. Trust in official Western sources is not justified - they are propaganda tools like Ukrainian and Russian official channels as well.

Note that the blue-red lines on both airlines are ABOVE the height level of wings and engines, they are not being partially blocked by the engines if looking at the planes from same altitude or slightly elevated position. I think for a pilot in that situation, that hprizonmtal line acros the full length of the main body served as a main hint for the pilot to identity the "Russian presidential plane".

^ You are right this photo need to be investigated by the best there are in that field of expertise

If I know the human psychology correct-there will always be people who claim the photo to be either genuin or false-what ever this investigation will show.

Oberon 11-14-14 05:07 PM

I thought that it was supposed to have been shot down by a Frogfoot?

That looks more like a MiG-29 or Su-27.

And it weas claimed that cannon fire was used, not missiles.

While others claim it was a surface missile.

That is the charm of both the explanation scenarios: this new one unites the best from both. :)

I got two PMs claiming that it has already been proven that the photo is faked, the sender hopefully will provide his information tomorrow, he said. I cannot access the link he gave me, my security suite blocks it.

Like with the earlier scneario (SU25 firing mike mike) I do not claim it is true - just that the claims need to be examined and further verified or falsified. The governments in Moscow and Kiev, Washington and London cannot be trusted in their claims, and they all have the means to produce forged material, and they all have motives to see their claims being pushed through.

Oberon 11-14-14 05:24 PM

It's not beyond the realms of possibility, likewise the Frogfoot and Buk proposals. The UAF does have the MiG-29s that Russia shipped back to them from Crimea although they were in pretty poor condition when they were captured. There's also some flying around from the Ukrainian display team and a couple of standard 29s have been shot down by pro-Russian forces.
The image quality though, doesn't match up to me, if I'm honest.

Other problems are apparently, according to a quick google search:

The image is 50km west of the crash site

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B2azjSjCMAEUjmk.jpg

The missile has been reported to have hit MH-17 on the left side of the cockpit, the opposite side to the direction the Aphid is coming in from in this photo
The text on the side of 'MH-17' in this picture is in the wrong place.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...edelstaedt.jpg
Note in this picture that the text 'malaysia' is above the wing spar, whereas in the satellite image it's forward of the wing spar...and in fact, bares some resemblance to the original 'Boeing' house title, like so:

It's the daily fail. They only get stories right by accident. I would take it with a truck load of salt and wait for the professionals to analyze it. Until then I would say the probability of it being garbage is 90%.
