New MH-17 news: From Google translate: Four radars were active for MH17 '
by Paul Eldering and Jolanda van der Graaf
THE HAGUE -
The shootdown of down MH17 was imaged by at least four radars in the vicinity said Professor and radar expert Piet van Genderen at TU Delft during a hearing in the Parliament. "The primary radar images of these four facilities are the most important because the chances are that the they picked up a BUK missile and it should be seen. Also, the disintegration of the aircraft is on these images, it should be almost certainly noticeable. "

It involves three Ukrainian systems - one in the Lugansk airport and two long-range radar in the vicinity - and a fourth Russian radar at Rostov.
"That all these facilities were all not in operation or under maintenance as Ukraine and Russia claim is not credible," said the professor.

Like Van Genderen, satellite expert Marco Langbroek believes that the images are crucial to the criminal investigation as to who the perpetrators are. According to Langbroek there must exist a large number of satellite images of the disaster. This includes the so-called Space Based Infrared Systems, the top-secret radar systems of the Americans. "Three of these satellites covered Ukraine at the time of the crash," said Langbroek. "It seems to me that justice has every interest to have this information. Indeed, the evidence can thus be substantiated."

According to Minister Van der Steur of Security and Justice, the Public Prosecutor's has no need for additional radar and satellite images. However, he said that if later it is different, "the government will do its utmost to make available relevant information to the Public Prosecution for the criminal investigation."
Despite the letter of Van der Steur, survivors, experts and also have MPs, still have serious doubts about the events surrounding the radar and satellite imagery.



The entire Dutch press is lit up with these stories about Ukraine not supplying the MH17 radar data and claiming all facilities were undergoing maintenance at the time. Of course, the entire US, UK, Canadian and Australian media have chosen to completely ignore this important new revelation.
