Missile brought from Russia downed Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine.

DUTCH PROBE: Missile brought from Russia downed Malaysia Airlines plane over Ukraine.

The SA-11 missile that struck the Malaysia Airlines plane was smuggled into Ukraine from Russia in July 2014, the investigators said at a news conference, and then returned to Russia. More than 100 suspects have also been identified, the investigation concluded, although their names were not made public on Wednesday.
“It may be concluded that Flight MH17 was shot down on 17 July 2014 by a 9M38 series missile launched from a BUK trailer. This BUK trailer was brought in from the territory of the Russian Federation and after launch was subsequently returned to Russian Federation territory. This conclusion is based largely on forensic investigation,” an investigator said.

The MH17 shootdown generated enough of an outcry to bring Putin’s offensive into eastern and southern Ukraine to a halt. But after two years without much followup from the West, Putin appears to be preparing for a renewed attack.
