Rottenray has in post #528 a link to a site showing remains of a missile found at the crash scene(?):

He has the opinion that the picture shown has been photoshopped and gives a number of reasons for his standpoint.

I do not know whether the picture is photoshopped, but I am convinced that the missile shown is NOT a SA11. I have compared the missile shown with a very clear picture of a SA11 from the following link:
Buk missile system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CNN was showing footage of what looked like the crashscene of MH17. However the video showed parts of the MH17 crashscene mixed with parts of another crash scene in Ukraine. Most like the IL76 crash scene. The missle is not a SA-11.
