It's funny how you want american sat photos to prove what happened to mh17, yet dismiss the sat photos of Russian involvment in Ukraine, and no need to be condescending.
Also Russia lost all credibility when denying that the little green men werent theirs.
So we can dismiss sat photos because the Bush administration were fuckups? It makes as much sense as saying Putin is a drunk yeltsin was.
Oh the biggest american colony in the world supports America by blaming the Russians, how unexpected
And look how it went. Quick and bloodless, peninsula secured in days and no one got hurt. Not like what's going on in Eastern Ukraine.
None of which are official or reliable in any way. Except maybe Babai. Babai is real.There are thousands of accounts of Russian soldiers being seen in Ukraine. I think we can put two and two together.
Who gains the most? Russia if they can pass it off on Ukraine.

It has been well established a Su-25 was not the cause of the shoot-down.

The only reason Russia would need to be involved is if they were the one's that shot it down. It was not their plane, not their citizens, and not their territory, and they have not been asked to help.

Or the evidence is too sensitive to release as it would compromise the method of acquisition...

I dont know about aircraft but someone here is probably able to tell what kind of jet that is.
Just thought id add this to the convo, nothing is confirmed or anything so..
If the idea is the video shows the downing of MH17 consider it confirmed...to be bullshit.

Uploaded to Youtube back in 2011 under the Title "Shocking video: Iran IL-76 plane crash filmed from C-130 Hercules".
Here's the Wikipedia article on the original 2009 incident: "2009 Iranian Air Force Il-76MD Adnan 2 accident"Previously-unseen video footage has surfaced online, allegedly showing the crash of an Iranian military jet at an air show two years ago. It captures the moment the Ilyushin IL-76MD military plane falls to earth and explodes, after a mid-air collision with F-5E Tiger II. The haunting video was filmed by the crew of a C-130 that was filming the refuelling of an F-4 Phantom II. The planes were taking part in the September 22, 2009 air show and parade just outside Tehran. All seven crewmembers on board the IL-76MD were killed in the crash.
"In today’s America, conservatives who actually want to conserve are as rare as liberals who actually want to liberate. The once-significant language of an earlier era has had the meaning sucked right out of it, the better to serve as camouflage for a kleptocratic feeding frenzy in which both establishment parties participate with equal abandon" (Taking a break from the criminal, incompetent liars at the NSA, to bring you the above political observation, from The Archdruid Report.)
That is an F-4 Phantom II, not in service with Ukraine or the US. The plane going down in the background is some sort of high winged transport, not a Boeing like MH-17. The crashing aircraft is falling almost straight down in a spin, instead of coming in steeply but level like MH-17 did, MH-17 hit at a glancing angle, which spread debris over miles, that one hit almost straight down, and would have very little debris dispersion. In addition why would a fighter be flying a few feet below another plane in a shootdown?
In short, their is no way that is in any way connected to MH-17. My guess is that someone was doing an in air refueling operation, one of the fighters popped up from turbulence and tore the tail off the refueling plane, resulting in the loss shown on the video. Which explains the point of view of the camera as well.
It is a pretty cool video assuming the crashing plane wasn't edited in, but not relevant to this topic.
edit: NVM, ringpriest beat me too it with the actual incident listed, I was pretty close in my guess anyway.
