A Ukraine Air Force military jet was detected gaining height, its
distance from the Malaysian Boeing was 3 to 5km, said the head of
the Main Operations Directorate of the HQ of Russias military forces,
Lieutenant-General Andrey Kartopolov speaking at a media
conference in Moscow on Monday.
[We] would like to get an explanation as to why the military jet was
ying along a civil aviation corridor at almost the same time and at the
same level as a passenger plane, he stated.
The SU-25 ghter jet can gain an altitude of 10km, according to its
specication, he added. Its equipped with air-to-air R-60 missiles
that can hit a target at a distance up to 12km, up to 5km for sure.
The presence of the Ukrainian military jet can be conrmed by video
shots made by the Rostov monitoring center, Kartopolov stated.
At the moment of the MH17 crash an American satellite was ying over
the area of eastern Ukraine, according to Russias Defense Ministry. It
urged the US to publish the space photos and data captured by it.

In addition, MH17 crashed within the operating zone of the Ukrainian
armys self-propelled, medium-range surface-to-air Buk missile
systems, the Russian general said.
We have space images of certain places where the Ukraines air
defense was located in the southeast of the country, Kartapolov
noted.
The rst three shots that were shown by the general are dated July 14.
The images show Buk missile launch systems in about 8km northwest of

The question that has to be answered is why the missile system
appeared in the area controlled by the local militia forces shortly before
the catastrophe, he stated.
Images taken on July 18 show that the missile systems left the area of
the MH17 crash on July 17, the military o!cial said.
Kartapolov also pointed to the fact that on the day of the plane crash
Ukraines military increased the intensity of the radar stations of the Buk
missile systems.
In response to Moscows evidence, Kiev said on Monday it had proof
the missile that brought down a Malaysian airliner last week came
from Russia.
There is evidence that the missile which struck the plane was red by
terrorists, who received arms and specialists from the Russian
Federation, spokesman for Ukraines Security Council Andrey
Lysenko told a news conference. To disown this tragedy, [Russia] are
drawing a lot of pictures and maps. We will explore any photos and
other plans produced by the Russian side.
