It's been over 9 years since this happened. Already spoke about this a few days back.
I have read at least a few pages of this thread, so what is the general opinion of the members of this forum? Who shot down the aircraft? Russian-backed separatists or the Ukrainian government who conducted a false flag operation to put the blame on Russia so that they could make an excuse for slapping sanctions on Russia and spreading more Russophobia across the globe?
There are several theories:
1. The most commonly accepted theory on the downing of flight MH-17 is that it was shot down by a Buk missile operated by Russian-backed separatists. This was said by a Dutch investigation into the matter.
2. That the aircraft was shot down by a Ukrainian aircraft, most likely a Su-25 using an air-to-air missile or Guns.
3. It was shot down by a Buk missile but by a Buk unit that was operating in Ukrainian territory, this was the conclusion of a Russian investigation into the matter. There is a copy-paste of an article posted by a user on the Russia-Ukraine war thread already on this Russian investigation.
I don't know of any other theory. At least from what I have read on this matter. Also was the US not supposed to release some satellite images of the crash? They still haven't released it, have they? What is stopping them from doing so, what is there to hide?
