Was Flight MH-17 Diverted Over Restricted Airspace?

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While there are various questions that have already emerged from what was supposed to be Ukraine's "slam dunk" proof confirming Russian rebel involvement in today's MH-17 tragedy, perhaps one just as gaping question emerges when one looks at what is clearly an outlier flight path in today's final, and tragic, departure of the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777.

Perhaps the best visualization of what the issue is, comes from Vagelis Karmiros who has collated all the recent MH-17 flight paths as tracked by Flightaware and shows that while all ten most recent paths pass safely well south of the Donetsk region, and cross the zone above the Sea of Azov, it was only today's tragic flight that passed straight overhead Donetsk.

 

Why is the diversion from the traditional flight path and passage over the highlighted zone a concern? Because as the following map from the WSJ shows this is precisely where the restricted airspace is.

 

So perhaps before coming to "certain" conclusion about the involvement of this rebel or that, the key questions one should ask before casting blame, is why did the pilot divert from his usual flight plan, why did he fly above restricted airspace, and just what, if any instructions, did Kiev air control give the pilot in the minutes before the tragic explosion?

I heard that the plane came down in an area controlled by pro-Russian forces, and that they were going to send the black box to Moscow.

Putting all the disparate conspiracy pieces together (gathered from other ZH threads) I fully expect to hear Putin proclaim that this plane was really MH-370 in disguise, based on the flight recorder. Wouldn't that be a hoot?

  And now we know why Putin Grabbed that black box ASAP...flight recording data is going to prove if the pilots were ordered onto a specific course by military jets belonging to Ukraine. Now that is going to be very problematic when Russia releases these tapes since the drums immediately were beating instantly that this was either Russia (Which we all knew it was not) or seperatists armed by Russia. 

      I supposed the geniuses should have thought a move ahead and had a team nearby prepared to scoop up the black boxes before Putin. I wonder how long he will hold onto the tape and wait for the Ukraine and its backers to dig a whole of blame that falls solely on Russia before releasing them.

These passports have an eerie similaritiy to the unburned passport 'found' in the debris of the WTC. All unburned, and looking brand new, no dirt, or signs of use. Like they've been collected from a bag. Could be pure coincidence, but is another mystery in the riddle shrouded in the enigma that is contemporary headfake-falseflagerism.

If this is such an event (or part thereof), the identies of those on the passenger manifest of a flight that is reported to have been cancelled (screenshot from FlightRada24 here: http://jimstonefreelance.com/ ), will be of much interest in the following days. Expect outpourings of unbridled grief to out-grieve the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza. Such timing! Reportedly 24 Australians aboard, presumably carrying Australian passports, in no way like those that were very useful in the assassination of Hamas leader Mahmoud Al Mabhouh in Dubai in 2010. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2010-02-26/mossad-factory-churned-out-fake-au...

While I'm not saying it was bad weather, there can be, and often is, bad weather at 32,000. Garden variety thunderstorms in the US extend to 45,000 ft. while severe thunderstorms often reach 60,000 ft. So, yeah, weather IS a possibility. I fly corporate jets and frequently deviate around such weather systems.

I've heard that ice can be upwardly ejected from internal cloud dynamics like a shotgun blast. This frozen ejecta blasts hundreds and hundred of feet from the top of cumulonimbus clouds, so it's not safe to even fly 'over' the cloud ceiling in many cases. But what the hell do I know, I just attract ball lightning wherever I go.

Sorry to disappoint you, but, no that is not true. That far north most weather stops in the mid 30s (the Trop is down to the high 30s). But, no, FL32 is right in the tops at that latitude.

Tops can go to 60,000 feet at that latitude very easy. Look at what happens every Spring and Summer in the Midwest and Southeast.

 

Ukraine is the Breadbasket, like the US Midwest, and has similar weather of that area.

 

(Not this year. The fields were left fallow because of the war. There will be a severe Wheat Shortage and possibly Famine as a result. Long Wheat Futures...)

"They don't call it the control room for nothing." No physical instructions need be made. "Just enter it into the computer" and no one is the wiser for it. That could include the launch of the missile as well.

"All perfectly timed to launch a full scale invasion of Gaza."

To which I say "so what?" It's not like we all don't know what's going on in Gaza. We would indeed have a striking bit of honesty if the "nerdy folks" we're able to come clean about all these things.

I know of only one actually...and he's in Moscow yet "no one of importance has claimed to even have met the guy." Maybe Snowden should start a Kung Fu training academy at the airport.

This is interesting....

Anybody hear about the Ukrainians leaving out a couple of lightly unguarded Buk launching systems for the rebels two weeks ago?

And who exactly trained them to use it?

 

"Two weeks ago, pro-Russian fighters from the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) boasted that they had captured Buk missiles and launchers when they overran a Ukrainian army garrison on June 29. The DPR posted a Twitter picture at the time of the vehicle-mounted missile system, but last night deleted the picture and denied they possessed such a weapon."

But they still would need operators...

"BUK units require technicians to work them, who typically need several months of training. However, Mr Richardson said it was possible that rebels who had done military service would know how to work them."

 

Things getting foggier and foggier... best to check out who is short a missile... 

And WHY exactly would the Ukrainians bring missile launchers to a fight where the rebels clearly have NO aircraft?

The rebels ganked a SU-25 from the Ukies.  So they do have aircraft.

 

I am really unclear on what there is to investigate.  Everybody there had a S-300 system.  The rebels acknowledge that they took some from the Ukies so even if they recovered a SN off the missle it would still be Ukie (assuming that Russians didn't fire it and that is VERY improbable).  If the Ukies shot it they would say that was one of the ones that were taken.  We would then be back to finger pointing.  

 

I think the golden moment is the demand for the cease fire to investigate.  The Ukies are on their heels and NEED that time very badly to regroup.

Based on a lot of other evidence though, it's looking less likely that the militia shot it down, even though they shot down a Ukie plane in the same area (Thorez) a little earlier. For example, a poster at Saker's site who works in the area said the BUK's they captured were not operational.

"Goodness gracious great balls of fire!" KAL 007 redux. Moscovites kill more civilians in 5 minutes today, than thousands of Israeli air and artillery strikes after 10 days of hundreds of missile attacks on Israel.

Flight 17's shootdown split the news coverage, giving Israel the go-ahead to invade Gaza.  By the way, has anyone noticed the really cheap coverage FOX news is giving of this shootdown, continuing to just have its talking heads blather on with their New World Order scripted comments?  I just saw someone named Brooke Goldstein telling Megyn Kelly that Hamas was responsible for Gaza civilian deaths because Hamas uses civilians as human shields.  Like those kids playing on a beach before they became target practice for the Israeli Navy.  If there is a Goebbels Award for the Big Lie, Goldstein gets it.

So. A rich little man with white hair died. What has that got to do with the price of rice, right? And *why* is that woe to us? Because you people, and sixty-two million other Americans, are listening to me right now. Because less than three percent of you people read books! Because less than fifteen percent of you read newspapers! Because the only truth you know is what you get over this tube. Right now, there is a whole, an entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube! This tube is the Gospel, the ultimate revelation. This tube can make or break presidents, popes, prime ministers... This tube is the most awesome God-damned force in the whole godless world, and woe is us if it ever falls in to the hands of the wrong people, and that's why woe is us that Edward George Ruddy died. Because this company is now in the hands of CCA - the Communication Corporation of America. There's a new Chairman of the Board, a man called Frank Hackett, sitting in Mr. Ruddy's office on the twentieth floor. And when the twelfth largest company in the world controls the most awesome God-damned propoganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network?

Right.  Just ask any commercial pilot how much 'weather' he sees at 33,000 ft.

 

You'll get the same answer from all of them.

 

Turbulence maybe, weather.....    not so much.

Thunderstorms typically go to 40,000 feet. 60,000 is not unheard of. The aircraft may have been avoiding turbulence or taking advantage of favorable winds.

“According to the Russian Defense Ministry information, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine located in the crash-site are equipped with anti-aircraft missile systems of "Buk-M1” ... These complexes in their tactical and technical characteristics are capable of detecting air targets at ranges of up to 160 kilometers and hit them at full altitude range at a distance of over 30 kilometers,” the ministry’s statement reads as cited by Ria.

 

It will be interesting to see, if the ZOGs will demand an examination from their friendly Ukrainian government, about that Russian argumentation...

Anyone know about these tweets from a Spanish air traffic controller in Kiev? He says it was Kiev that attacked the 777, and he mentions the Ukraine military ready to take out the Kiev government a few days ago.

I would like more info on this, but it's an interesting bit of information anyway:

From Wikipedia:

A standard Buk battalion consists of a command vehicle, target acquisition radar (TAR) vehicle, six transporter erector launcher and radar (TELAR) vehicles and three transporter erector launcher (TEL) vehicles. A Buk missile battery consists of two TELAR and one TEL vehicle.

 

So a BUK system is not an autonomous system but it needs a command structure and target recognition vehicle! This means a highly trained crew. This is NOT a weapon system for rebels!

 

As I posted above, the Russians say, that Ukraine has Buk systems.

And this gets even more weight, since the Ukrainian government itself claimed that the rebels had shot down the plane, NOT Russia. But the Russian army operating that system and shooting down the plane - that would be theoretically possible. But the claim that rebels used this system is highly questionable.

 

So I guess it was a Ukrainian Buk system. If I am correct, we will see total disinterest from USrael + NATO regarding Ukrainian infos about the BUK systems in the area... Just like their disinterest who shot at both sides on Maidan...
