AD / Spiegel and Correctiv publish reconstruction

Dutch newspaper AD, the Der Spiegel and Correctiv have published their results on their own investigation on the downing of MH17. The AD story, in dutch can be downloaded here:

Raket afkomstig van Russische brigade uit Koersk - AD.nl

In short:
They point to the Russian 53th air defense brigade from Kursk, and tried to contact the individual soldiers without much success. The only guy they ware able to contact said that he couldn't tell anything because of state secrecy. They also discover that 1 sergeant and 13 soldiers were releaved of duty just 2 weeks before the convoy of BUK M1 crossed the border. The name of the sergeant is Ivan Kranoprosjin. Some of the information comes from his VKontakte page, now deleted.


They interviewed witnesses that saw the actual missile launch (on a different location than the RTL document)

More to follow.
