120. He is not anonymous like some "experts" trying to tell us how the world works

His identity is known to the journalists who interviewed him, he just doesn't want to make his name public, is all.

Here is the video and transcript of the interview:

This witness may be full of shit and trying to fool his interviewers, just like the "expert" who came up with the fake satellite image a short while ago. OTOH, nothing you have said would suggest he is wrong.

The Ukrainian army used Su-25 to attack the self-defense forces in eastern Ukraine. Some of them were shot down. We know that the self-defense forces observed or at least strongly suspected that the attackers were using civilian airliners flying above them as human shields. If the Ukrainian pilots were flying in the "shadow" of these airliners, they were apparently well informed about their flight paths.

Nobody has claimed that the air-to-air missile was fired from the exact same height or from directly behind the airliner. The Russian radar data merely suggested that a Su-25 or similar plane was in the vicinity:

“A Ukraine Air Force military jet was detected gaining height, it’s distance from the Malaysian Boeing was 3 to 5km,” said the head of the Main Operations Directorate of the HQ of Russia’s military forces, Lieutenant-General Andrey Kartopolov speaking at a media conference in Moscow on Monday.

“[We] would like to get an explanation as to why the military jet was flying along a civil aviation corridor at almost the same time and at the same level as a passenger plane,” he stated.

“The SU-25 fighter jet can gain an altitude of 10km, according to its specification,” he added. “It’s equipped with air-to-air R-60 missiles that can hit a target at a distance up to 12km, up to 5km for sure.”
