The Russian news service, Itar-Tass today published satellite photos clearly
proving that Malaysian Airlines flight MH17, which crashed in eastern
Ukraine on July 17, 2014, was downed by a Kiev-backed jet fighter.
The United States and Great Britain have had these photos for months,
proving the Kiev junta responsible for purposefully downing the plane and
killing 298 passengers and crew, 196 of them from the Netherlands.
In fact, for months, the preponderance of evidence has indicated that the
downing of MH17 was done by Kiev as an act of false flag terrorism, one of
many during the conflict. However, as accusations against Kiev gained
substance, the investigation was handed to the Dutch government, who tabled
the entire process for over a year without any promise of a definitive
finding.
All the while, the US was accusing Russia of the attack and threatening
retaliation, these photos were in the hands of NATO leaders.
>From Tass:
MOSCOW, November 14. /TASS/. Russias television Channel One said on Friday
it had a photo presumably made by a foreign spy satellite in the last
seconds of Malaysias MH17 flight over Ukraine.
Channel One showed Ivan Andriyevsky, the first vice president of the Russian
Union of Engineers, demonstrating a photo sent by a George Beatle, who had
introduced himself as an air traffic controller with a 20-year working
record.
According to Beatle, the Malaysian Boeing was shot down by a fighter jet
that followed it. First, the Boeing came under gun fire and then the cockpit
was hit by an air-to-air missile, its right engine and the right wing were
hit by a heat-seeking missile.
The e-mail had an enclosed snapshot of a missile launch from under the
fighters left wing directed right at the Boeing cockpit.
We see a space shot made from a low orbit. Such photo shots are typically
made in air and ground surveillance purposes, Andriyevsky said.
Coordinates on the photo hint that it was made by an American or a British
satellite. We have thoroughly analyzed this photo to find no signs of
fake.
In the ensuing months since the air disaster, the US and its NATO allies
have repeatedly claimed that the flight, simply known as MH17, was shot down
by first a missile under the control of pro-Russian separatists near Donetsk
and then later by Russian forces along the border.
The situation was further obfuscated when a Dutch report came out, cleansed
of all references as to causality and then later by something even stranger.
When reports by radar operators in the region indicated that a Kiev backed
fighter had been following MH17, claims were made that all their planes in
the area were only low level ground attack aircraft, incapable of high
altitude flight. News reports, leaked from Kiev, claimed the only planes in
the area were Su-25 ground attack fighters.
Later it was leaked that the plane following MH17 was an SU-22 swing wing.
However, in the interim, dozens of aviation websites were hacked and
information on the SU-22 was altered to show it incapable of flight above
21,000 feet and of speeds in excess of 500 miles per hour.
The satellite photograph showing the missile being fired at MH17, however,
shows the clear outline of an SU-22. A review of the US Air Force report on
the SU-22 tells a very different story of its performance.
The SU-17M4 was offered to export customers under the SU-22M4 designation
(internal destination of S-54K0. Production lasted from 1983 to 1990. The
Su-17M4 was given a top speed of 1,155 miles per hour (Mach 1.7) at altitude
with a combat range of 715 miles (1,430 miles ferry). The service ceiling
was limited to 46,590 feet while the rate of climb was listed at 45,275 feet
per minute.
MH17 was flying at 500 miles per hour at 31,000 feet when the SU-22 opened
up with 30mm cannon and finished the plane off with an air to air missile
into the cockpit, as seen clearly on the satellite photo.
In late July, while stories of a ground-launched air defense missile were
being bandied about, it was pointed out that the only missiles in the region
were controlled by the Kiev government. In order to support their assertion
that Russia was responsible, the Ukrainian government released satellite
photos they said proved they had no forces in the region. From an August 1,
2014 Russia Today story:
Satellite images Kiev published as proof it didnt deploy anti-aircraft
batteries around the MH17 crash site carry altered time-stamps and are from
days after the MH17 tragedy, the Russian Defense Ministry has revealed.
The images, which Kiev claims were taken by its satellites at the same time
as those taken by Russian satellites, are neither Ukrainian nor authentic,
according to Moscows statement.
The Defense Ministry said the images were apparently made by an American
KeyHole reconnaissance satellite, because the two Ukrainian satellites
currently in orbit, Sich-1 and Sich-2, were not positioned over the part of
Ukraines Donetsk Region shown in the pictures.
Moscow claims weather and lighting conditions in the images were not
possible at the dates and times Ukraine claims they were made, the Russian
ministry said.
At least one of the images published by Ukraine shows signs of being altered
by an image editor, the statement added.
Thus far, there has been no response from the US. If, as Andriyevsky
asserts, the satellite photos are genuine, it isnt simply the Kiev junta
that is culpable. It was long known that the US had satellite photos and
detailed records of AEGIS radar that would have shown exactly what happened.
It is now clear why these satellite images were withheld as they failed to
support Americas policy of sanctioning Russia on behalf of a regime now
clearly guilty of terrorism on a global scale.
Moreover, the satellite photos of MH17 are a clear indication that the US
also has photos showing the fate of MH370 as well, the Malaysian Airlines
Boeing 777 that disappeared from the face of the earth without a trace on
March 8, 2014.
We can only ask why these are also being withheld and what other agenda,
what other half-baked terror plot the fate of MH370 may have served.
