Transcript of comms between Ukranian separatists. Indicates the level of "intelligence" (i.e. delusion) some of these people have, especially the "commander" with his inane remark about it carrying spies.
He was deep into rationalisation at that point. He knows he screwed up.
The thing that puzzles me is there must have been command awareness of the substantial civilian traffic overhead; you just wouldn't, surely?
I read elsewhere (I'm sorry I cannot recall the source, it may have been here) that there was a trailing flight on the same track around 25nm from the accident area, and would have entered the same engagement zone within 3-5 minutes (potentially before MH17 had even struck the ground) so it is fortunate more were not also engaged. The question is, why this one flight?
