According to the report of German pilot and airlines expert Peter Haisenko, the MH17
Boeing 777 was not brought down by a missile.
What he observed from the available photos were perforations of the cockpit:
The facts speak clear and loud and are beyond the realm of speculation: The cockpit
shows traces of shelling! You can see the entry and exit holes. The edge of a portion of
the holes is bent inwards. These are the smaller holes, round and clean, showing the
entry points most likely that of a 30 millimeter caliber projectile. (Revelations of German
Pilot: Shocking Analysis of the “Shooting Down” of Malaysian MH17. “Aircraft Was Not
Hit by a Missile” Global Research, July 30, 2014)
Based on detailed analysis Peter Haisenko reached the conclusion that the MH17 was not
downed by a missile attack:
This aircraft was not hit by a missile in the central portion. The destruction is limited to
the cockpit area. Now you have to factor in that this part is constructed of specially reinforced
material
The OSCE Mission
It is worth noting that the initial statements by OSCE observers (July 31) broadly confirm
the findings of Peter Haisenko:
Monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe reported that
shrapnel-like holes were found in two separate pieces of the fuselage of the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines aircraft that was believed to have been downed by a missile in eastern
Ukraine.
Michael Bociurkiw of the OSCE group of monitors at his daily briefing described part of
the plane’s fuselage dotted with “shrapnel-like, almost machine gun-like holes.” He said
the damage was inspected by Malaysian aviation-security officials .(Wall Street Journal,
July 31, 2014)
The monitoring OSCE team has not found evidence of a missile fired from the ground as
conveyed by official White House statements. As we recall, the US ambassador to the UN
Samantha Power stated –pointing a finger at Russia– that the Malaysian MH17 plane was
“likely downed by a surface-to-air missile operated from a separatist-held location”:
The team of international investigators with the Organisation for Security and Cooperation
in Europe (OSCE) are uncertain if the missile used was fired from the ground as US
military experts have previously suggested, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported.
(Malay Mail online, emphasis added)
The initial OSCE findings tend to dispel the claim that a BUK missile system brought down
the plane.
Evidently, inasmuch as the perforations are attributable to shelling, a shelling operation
conducted from the ground could not have brought down an aircraft traveling above
30,000 feet.
Ukraine Su-25 military aircraft within proximity of MH17
Peter Haisenko’s study is corroborated by the Russian Ministry of Defense which pointed
to a Ukrainian Su-25 jet in the flight corridor of the MH17, within proximity of the plane.
Ironically, the presence of a military aircraft is also confirmed by a BBC report conducted
at the crash site on July 23.
All the eyewitnesses interviewed by the BBC confirmed the presence of a Ukrainian military
aircraft flying within proximity of Malaysian Airlines MH17 at the time that it was shot
down:
Eyewitness 1: There were two explosions in the air. And this is how it broke apart. And
[the fragments] blew apart like this, to the sides. And when …
Eyewitness 2: … And there was another aircraft, a military one, beside it. Everybody
saw it.
Eyewitness 1: Yes, yes. It was flying under it, because it could be seen. It was proceeding
underneath, below the civilian one.
Eyewitness 3: There were sounds of an explosion. But they were in the sky. They
came from the sky. Then this plane made a sharp turn-around like this. It changed its
trajectory and headed in that direction [indicating the direction with her hands].
The original BBC Video Report published by BBC Russian Service on July 23, 2014 has
since been removed from the BBC archive. In a bitter irony, The BBC is censoring its own
news productions.
Media Spin
The media has reported that a surface to air missile was indeed fired and exploded before
reaching its target. It was not the missile that brought down the plane, it was the shrapnel
resulting from the missile explosion (prior to reaching the plane) which punctured the plane
and then led to a loss of pressure.
According to Ukraine’s National security spokesman Andriy Lysenko in a contradictory
statement, the MH17 aircraft “suffered massive explosive decompression after being hit by
a shrapnel missile.” (See IBT, Australia)
In an utterly absurd report, the BBC quoting the official Ukraine statement says that:
The downed Malaysia Airlines jet in eastern Ukraine suffered an explosive loss of pressure
after it was punctured by shrapnel from a missile.
They say the information came from the plane’s flight data recorders, which are being
analysed by British experts. However, it remains unclear who fired a missile, with pro-Russia rebels and Ukraine blaming each other.
Many of the 298 people killed on board flight MH17 were from the Netherlands.
Dutch investigators leading the inquiry into the crash have refused to comment on the
Ukrainian claims.
“Machine Gun Like Holes”
The shrapnel marks should be distinguished from the small entry and exit holes “most likely
that of a 30 millimeter caliber projectile” fired from a military aircraft. These holes could
not have been caused by a missile explosion as hinted by the MSM.
While the MSM is saying that the “shrapnel like holes” can be caused by a missile (see
BBC report above), the OSCE has confirmed the existence of what it describes as “machine
gun like holes”, without however acknowledging that these cannot be caused by a
missile.
In this regard, the GSh-302 firing gun operated by an Su-25 is able to fire 3000 rpm which
explains the numerous entry and exit holes. According to the findings of Peter Haisenko:
If we now consider the armament of a typical SU 25 we learn this: It is equipped with a
double-barreled 30-mm gun, type GSh-302 / AO-17A, equipped with: a 250 round magazine
of anti-tank incendiary shells and splinter-explosive shells (dum-dum), arranged
in alternating order. The cockpit of the MH 017 has evidently been fired at from both sides:
the entry and exit holes are found on the same fragment of it’s cockpit segment (op
cit)
The accusations directed against Russia including the sanctions regime imposed by Washington are based on a lie.
The evidence does not support the official US narrative to the effect that the MH17 was
shot down by a BUK missile system operated by the DPR militia.
What next? More media disinformation, more lies?
