The MH17 shooting down “mystery” may not remain a mystery for ever.
Further details are emerging (from the Russian side of the divide) about the shooting down of MH17 by a Ukrainian Air Force Su-25 attack aircraft piloted by Captain Vladislav Valerjevych Voloshin as narrated by a “secret” witness.

The Russian sources are not, in themselves, entirely trustworthy but what adds to their credibility is the lack of any pushback from NATO, the Dutch prosecutor or the Malaysians. There is denial from the Ukrainians of course but the following seem to be established (with varying degrees of reliability):
- Captain Voloshin is a pilot in the Ukrainian Air Force
- He did fly a mission that day at that time
- He took off in his Su-25 combat jet on 17th July 2014 from Dnipropetrovsk air base
- His plane carried 2 air-to-air missiles on take-off
- His plane returned without the missiles,
- A passenger on MH17 was wearing an oxygen mask which had had time to deploy,
- The MH17 fuselage was riddled with many very regularly spaced holes of a diameter consistent with cannon fire.
The missiles were probably R-60 air-to-air missiles.
