A Russian expert has claimed that the crashed Malaysian Boeing-777 (MH17) was shot down by an air-2-air missile and not the BUK missile system as stated by the Dutch commission.
The claims are from the chief researcher of the Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defence Force, Zahar Omarov.
“I can say that our results refute the conclusion that the aircraft was shot down by a missile from the anti-aircraft missile system of “Beech”. Most probably, it was a class missile “air-air” with a mass of high-explosive fragmentation warhead is not more than 33 kg (weight of the missile “Buck” is 70 kg), “- he said in an interview.

All these findings were provided by the Dutch commission, which conducted an investigation.
“For good, the Netherlands, the Security Council had to consider and, as a minimum, check our findings, however, it did not just Dutch.. Pretended that nothing was heard and not seen,” – he complained, reports “Interfax” .
