MALAYSIA AIRLINES MH17
El exámen de la evidencia de la participación de Rusia en el accidente del Malaysia Airlines MH17
Las imágenes de satélite obtenidas por Stratfor arroja nueva luz sobre el derribo de julio de 2014 del vuelo del Malaysia Airlines MH17 sobre el este de Ucrania. Reciente escrutinio de materiales de código abierto, muchos de ellos dirigido por un proyecto de investigación colectiva basada en el Reino Unido conocida como Bellingcat, ha apuntado directamente a un sistema de fabricación rusa Buk-tierra-aire de misiles que se encontraba en el este de Ucrania alrededor del tiempo de vuelo MH17 que fue derribado. El sistema Buk es sospechoso de origen en una brigada de misiles antiaéreos en Rusia. A principios de mayo, nuevas imágenes de vídeo de origen desconocido fue puesto en libertad, que aparece al poner el sistema en cuestión Buk cerca de Donetsk por separatistas que han controlado el 17 de julio de 2014, apenas unas horas antes de que el avión fue derribado.
Sobre la base de esta nueva información, Análisis AllSource – socio de imágenes de satélite de Stratfor, fue capaz de localizar las imágenes que confirman la hora exacta y la ubicación del sistema de defensa aérea en el día del accidente. Las imágenes se muestra el sistema de defensa aérea, montado encima de un Transloader, siendo transportado al este por la ciudad de Donetsk de Makiivka. Las imágenes fueron tomadas aproximadamente cinco horas antes del vuelo MH17 que fuera derribado desde una ubicación cerca de la ciudad de Snizhne, a unos 40 kilómetros (25 millas) de distancia. ᴀᴡ
Examining the Evidence of Russia’s Involvement in a Malaysia Airlines Crash
Satellite imagery obtained by Stratfor sheds new light on the July 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine. Recent scrutiny of open-source materials, much of it led by a U.K.-based collective investigation project known as Bellingcat, has zeroed in on a Russian-made Buk surface-to-air missile system that was in eastern Ukraine around the time Flight MH17 was shot down. The Buk system is suspected of originating from an anti-aircraft missile brigade based in Russia. In early May, new video footage of unknown origins was released, appearing to place the Buk system in question near separatist-controlled Donetsk on July 17, 2014, just hours before the airliner was shot down.
Building on this new information, AllSource Analysis — Stratfor’s satellite imagery partner — was able to locate images that confirm the exact time and location of the air defense system on the day of the crash. The imagery shows the air defense system, mounted atop a transloader, being transported east through the Donetsk town of Makiivka. The images were taken approximately five hours before Flight MH17 was shot down from a location near the town of Snizhne, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) away.
This aligns with the body of existing circumstantial evidence tracing the Buk system’s route to and from Snizhne. Combined, the evidence appears to show the Buk system moving from the Russian border toward Donetsk on July 15, 2014, and then moving back to the east on the afternoon of July 17, 2014, just hours before Flight MH17 was shot down.
The new imagery obtained by Stratfor does not prove that this particular Buk system fired a missile at the airliner. Nonetheless, it further substantiates the narrative being pieced together by the collective analysis of open-source information.
The mounting evidence showing a separatist- or Russian-controlled air defense system in the area of the crash, combined with the results of the official investigation conducted on the remnants of the downed aircraft, make it increasingly difficult for Moscow and the Ukrainian separatists to blame the incident on Kiev. The implication is unlikely to lead to consequences for the Russian side, but at a minimum, it provides a stern reminder about the dangers of the proliferation of weapons like the surface-to-air missile in question.
