According to their own sources.

RT reported on this claim.

The Russian military also said they identified RLS activation by the "right kind" of systems for use by a Buk to communicate among themselves to track planes (apparently they can network).

No confirmation, but only infidels and the faithless require it. But the gods have said it and their prophets have faithfully echoed the divine wisdom.
