https://presse.wdr.de/plounge/wdr/pr...0906_mh17.html - in German only.
It basically says:
In answering a parliamentary inquiry by the German Left Party ('Die Linke'), the German government has for the first time released information about radar-recordings concerning the crash of MH17. The information is based on data, that was recorded by Awacs-Airplanes conducting an operation for NATO.
The NATO-Aircrafts, that were flying in Polish and Romanian airspace, detected radar-signals of an Anti-aircraft, which was automatically classified as ‚Surface to Air-Missile’ SA-3.
The answer to the parliamentary inquiry however does not say, whether MH17 was shot down by a SA3 or a missile of another typ. Experts say, it could also have been brought down by a BUK-missile, for example, if it was fired without external radar guidance.
The answer also indicates, that the german government also obtained information on possible recordings of the air-ground communication. However referring to the Chicago Convention, the german government does not want to publish any such information.
