Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 Confirmed To Have Been Shot Down With Anti-Aircraft Weapon! Who Fired The Missile?

Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was the commercial plane that went down over the eastern part of Ukraine. Now, investigators have come across information that indicates that Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was hit by high-energy objects, causing it to break apart while still in the air. These latest findings are consistent with the initial speculations that the plane was brought down by a highly sophisticated anti-aircraft weapon.

A weapon of that caliber could have ended up detonating near the aircraft, showering it with hundreds, if not thousands, of shrapnel at very close range. However, the preliminary reports of the investigators who have been assigned to this case have led to several new conclusions, apart from definitely declaring that Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down.

The investigators only had very limited access to the site where Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 crashed down. Because of this, they had to resort to the analysis of the plane's data and cockpit recorders. They also obtained some photographs of the wreckage and other external sources of data. As a result of their investigation, they found out that Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 had no technical faults whatsoever and that there was absolutely no sign that the pilots of the aircraft sent out a distress call.

Sadly, however, there are still some things that the investigators just cannot clear up. They cannot identify who fired the missile.

Ukraine was quick in accusing Russian-supported militants who were allegedly operating around the area. The rebels, on the other hand, have iterated that the Ukrainian forces were responsible for the crash. However, the investigators were not able to find any Ukrainian fighter planes in the area that can fire such a missile.

Apart from the investigators, Dutch officials have also initiated an investigation of their own. Dutch prosecutors have been gathering layers and layers of evidence in the hopes of being able to file criminal charges, once and for all, in Dutch courts.
