to AlphaZuluRomeo:
The "Zaroschenske hypothesis" you proposed is an easy one to disagree with. How would a missile shot from a position ~ in the 3 o'clock of an aircraft end up by "impacting" said aircraft from ~ its 11/12 o'clock (with no significant heading change by said aircraft)? It's simply not possible.
- the missile hits from above downward with advance to the target's course;
- the cockpit is curved;
- the MH17 is a moving object with the speed 250 m/s (also hitting the cloud of 'high-energy penetrating objects' made by the missile);
- the most known picture shows also tangential marks of impact;
- Zaroschenske is just a spotted position not the firing one (as Snizhne for the rebels's Buk);
Indeed, intention looks pretty clear here.
There is no such an attack direction which completely rules out rebels's guilt.
to Lena.Kiev:
The question is whether it had time to tumble while it flew from the explosion near cockpit to wingtip.

is same lie as Su-25 and Krasnoarmeysk.
Every mention of Su-25 in the briefing was accompanied with the word 'supposedly'.
Regarding the failed attempt to geolocate the video in Krasnoarmeysk it is more likely someone's laziness in their
PR department. They just took a widely circulated version from social networks at that moment without a thorough check. Ukrainians also mistakenly claimed the video was recorded in Krasnodon.
