That's pretty much what I figured happened honestly. With the clouds, and an AN-26 supposed to be in the area, a system that can't identify one plane from another would have a hard time telling them apart, and it would be easy to make a mistake.

There are very very few air to air missiles that can home on other aircraft radar. They're designed to home on the radar signature from an AWACS, and none of them can be carried by an Su-25.
The only air to air missiles the Su-25 can carry are the K-13 (AA-2) and the R-60 (AA-8). Neither of which would have done this to a 777.

Right. And the Russians that are "volunteering" in the rebel leadership are Spec-Ops and intelligence. They understand that even in the face of overwhelming evidence all you need to do is provide enough misinformation, propaganda and denials to muddy the waters and impede any investigation that might provide further facts. The public at large doesn't have the time, energy or intellectual endurance to sort through the mass of contradictory information. That said, anyone educated on the specifics or that takes the time to sift BS from actual evidence knows with very strong probability what occurred and what did not.

West has all the time and money (these are governments, not public) to carry a most expansive investigation. What is 60 inspectors doing there?
Russians are not doing anything. Send 600 more inspectors. It is your choice.

Yes, if you look it's a lot of implications, without any supporting evidence, implying maybe the Ukraine sent a fighter to shoot it down, but they never explicitly stated it. Because they knew from the start it was the Ukraine rebels and not a jet.
Its been their mantra since they started this mess.

They just wanted to deflect blame as long as possible and muddy the waters.
Russia or posters in the forums?
Russia, posters on this forum are not trying to muddy the waters they are just flat out lying and spewing anti-West hate filled rhetoric with no facts to back it up. They don't need facts though, they have feelings and opinions, the kind of stuff that shrugs off actual factual posts.

Indeed, apart from the deployment of 30,000 + Russian Soldiers in the Crimea and the subsequent annexation of said territory, they've never invaded the Ukraine at all.....
C'mon, really? Even Putin himself owned up to Russian forces being deployed in the end yet you're still claiming they didn't? And you're whining about others "spewing lies" when you seem to be take the lead in all the "spewing"
Crimea voted to accede to Russia. What is your problem?
Russia must invade Ukraine to set the record straight. This is the logical thing to do. Not invading is a problem.
Yup, Americans spewing the same lies.

The West has always divided nations and put entire populations in misery. What Russia did in Crimea is correct.

Funny how I'm Canadian and I don't believe that Russia invaded Ukraine. Maybe it's because my government was promoting that narrative, and 90% of my country distrusts those liars.
