Ok thanks for that guest. We all knew who did it from the word go, but let's not jump to conclusions nods as good as a wink

In April, the International Civil Aviation Organization warned governments that there was a risk to commercial passenger flights over Ukraine
On 14 June, an Air Force Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft was shot down on approach to Luhansk International Airport; all 49 people on board died.[48] After that incident, on 29 June, Russian news agencies reported that insurgents had gained access to a Buk missile systemafter having taken control of a Ukrainian air defence base (possibly the former location of the 156th Anti-Aircraft Rocket Regiment [156 zrp] of the Ukrainian Air Force).[49][50][51] On the same day, the Donetsk People's Republic claimed possession of such a system in a since-deleted tweet. .........wiki

According to NBC News: "Pro-Moscow rebels were said to have used a similar system to shoot down a Ukrainian Antonov AN-26 aircraft on Monday." The crash occured four days later, on Thursday .
