The killing machine:
BUK launcher takes five minutes to warm up and 12 minutes to reload
Missile was likely detonated within 65ft (20 metres) of the MH17 target
d 8-12 seconds to reach its target.
95% accuracy
several models of Buk Missile Systems
developed in the Soviet Union in the 1970s
BUK - which means 'beech tree' in Russian
They can cut an aircraft in half, set it on fire or provide large pieces of shrapnel that shred it apart.’
13.8-inch (35cm) ‘seeker’ on the missile
has 20 mile range
nside the missile is a variety of different warheads
This is why I think they messed up - this is the third compnent of the system which the idiots did not have (aquisition radar vs self contained radar--the aquistion radar is in a third vehicle OR directly connected to a control tower):
‘If you are linked in to a national or standing air traffic system you’ll know what aircraft are flying around you.Purgin said he was not aware of whether rebel forces owned BUK missile launchers, but even if they did, there had no fighters capable of operating it.
Justin Bronk, with the Royal United Services Institute.......'However, I also highly suspect that the separatists did not intend to shoot down an airliner, but probably thought they were targeting a Ukrainian transport at high altitude.'
