The Russians had claimed there was no BUK missile on radar images, but the radar images they provided did not prove that, but have proven that there was no other airplane near the MH17 so the entire excuse of the Russians that it was a fighter plane from Ukraine was totally impossible. There were no planes on the radar images provided by the Russians.

Experts have concluded that it was entirely possible that a BUK was fired but not seen on radar images.

Experts

The JIT already concluded that the fact a BUK-missile is not visible on radar images, does not mean that no BUK-missile had flown in the airspace. The radar images provided by the Russian Federation were examined by two radar experts appointed by the examining magistrate. These experts endorse this conclusion by the JIT. The absence of the BUK-missile on the radar images can be explained for several reasons, according to the experts.

A BUK-missile launched from the launching location established by the JIT need not be visible on the radar images of the radar station Ust-Donetsk at all. An important explanation of the absence of the BUK-missile on the radar images lies in the flight properties of a BUK-missile. An example of such a flight property is the speed of the missile. Because of the fact that this speed is much higher than the speed of civil aircraft, the settings of a civil radar station will ensure that such fast objects generally are not visible on the radar images. This is to prevent “clutter” on the radar image.

'Australia recognises and appreciates the findings of the independent experts’ assessments of the radar images provided by the Russian Federation’, says Peter Crozier, Commander of the Australian Federal Police, in a reaction to the results of the experts’ examination. ‘The findings are consistent with the previously articulated position of the JIT.’

Both the radar images and the experts’ reports have been added to the file.

More proof that it was a BUK that shot down MH17 and that the Russian excuse that it was a Ukrainian fighter was not true. So the suicide of the man that according to the Russians has been proven to be fake news as that man could never have shot down MH17.
