Igor doesn't just turn the key on these the deployment takes around 5 mins. It is also a skilled job as in months to train. One of the applications for cluster munitions was for hitting battalion's of these Buks.Killing the crew is far more effective than trying to blow up the launchers.<br />Its pretty unlikely for the separatists, if you want to call them that, to be able to have a trained crew on hand. <br />The Buk can hit targets 23 km away at speed of mach 2.5 and its 70 kilo warhead is a fragmentation device cabable of downing a B52.<br />The poor sods on that flight never stood a chance.<br />Personally I doubt that this was and accident. The Buk has a complex IFF systems that notes civilian transponders. It can also be given low and high ceiling boundaries. Since literally hundreds of flights pass over this area, and have done during this war, the acknowledged ceiling height for military planes is 32,000ft. This was no accident. <br />Incidentally the UKs Daily Mail has photos of a Buk with two missiles missing being smuggled back over the Russian border. It also has photos of one being driven into the town shortly before the plane was shot down. A Ukranian transport plane was shot down last week by the same system.<br />A lot of coincidences that I'm sure are giving Putin bowel problems and sleepless nights!Rohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804288884191121969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2359657762730149804.post-80002582335306828922014-07-18T05:25:35.209-07:002014-07-18T05:25:35.209-07:00" Ukrainian officials have accused the Kremli..." Ukrainian officials have accused the Kremlin of supporting the separatist rebels, an accusation Moscow denies."<br /><br />Igor is going to be in deep shit for leaving the keys in the missile launcher. I'm sure the separatists are sneaking into Russia and stealing these weapon systems. Tell me another one.

No, this was the act of a rabble of angry farmers and shopkeepers.<br /><br />So, the Russians are murdering American citizens, the North Koreans and Iranians are working feverishly on their nuclear weapons programs, the Middle East is in flames.
