4. Despite multiple claims in interviews made by RT and other media there was no other aircraft in ~30km to the #MH17 on all radar data available
5. According to ATC and cockpit voice recorder there was no sign of alert or abnormal requests or directions.
6.1. The #MH17 cockpit have taken most of damage from the blast and high speed preformed objects from warhead and was separated in the air by the explosion and high speed airflow.
6.2. Local first responders were forced to cut through the cockpit wreckage not only to remove crew bodies but to take away electronics that taken a load of shrapnel from the warhead.

6.4. Lots of #MH17 equipment parts was taken away from the crash site and used by kremlin propagandists it information attacks on official investigation
6.5. The fact of unauthorized remove of the #MH17 parts have been reflected in the final Dutch Safety Board report theguardian.com/world/2015/oct…
7.1. Lots of people think that US intelligence data provided to the Netherlands is a photo from spy satellite like in 🌏 Google Earth but with higher resolution.
In fact it’s a complex of intelligence from National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) nga.mil/MediaRoom/Spee…

7.3. The satellite images thoughtlessly shown by russian MoD (July 24,2014) were proven to be from another day.
By comparing with commercially available image from DigitalGlobe bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-eu… and by checking orbit of the satellites sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2016/01/mh17-o…
8. To confirm location of the SAM launch site and the authenticity of the intercepts of cellphone calls investigators have collected soil samples and performed network measurements om.nl/mh17-ezine-jun…
9.1. At June 16 (month before #MH17 was shot down) ‘ТРЛК-8’ the only En-route PSR/SSR/MSSR mode S in the region was destroyed with RPG’s

9.1.* Article about the incident in the local media bahmut.com.ua/news/incidents…
9.2. Because the Ukrainian air control system is military and civilian combined uksatse.ua/doc/ans_decree… the destruction of ‘ТРЛК-8’ was a logical move to limit Ukrainian Army capability in the area. Without powerful PSR the UAF have had to rely only on mobile SAM systems radars.
9.3. About a month after ‘ТРЛК-8’ destruction and day before #MH17 the Ukrainian Su-25 (tail number 03 blue) was shot down near Amvrosiivka town with AA missile from russian MiG-29.

9.4. During presentation of the incident NSDC of Ukraine stated that there are radio traffic between MiG-29 and ground targeting station, and radar data of the MiG-29 flight available.

9.4.* Seems mentioned radar data was from the same Ukrainian mobile radar that saw the flight #MH17
10.1. Ukraine have provided all #MH17 related ATC records and data from Dnipro secondary surveillance radar to investors at July 23, 2014
10.2. The only radar data initially provided by russia was “Video film of radar screen showing processed primary and secondary data”
10.3. russian authorities many times stated that provided investigation with all information available in contradiction to the fact that The Federal Air Transport Agency of the Russian Federation clearly violated the ICAO Annex 11 - Air Traffic Services, paragraph 6.4.1
10.3.* During consultations regarding draft of the final #MH17 DSB report russian authorities tried to remove this fact from report
10.4. It took two years for russia to find and present the #MH17 primary radar data at September 26, 2016
To consume even more time of investigation radar data was provided in the proprietary format
10.5. This radar data release was made just before Joint Investigation Team preliminary report and with main purpose to say that SAM launch site discovered by @JITMH17 is wrong
express.co.uk/news/world/714…
10.6. There are three unsigned marks on the russian primary radar data in Ukrainian airspace. Despite they are not directly related to #MH17 they could be the russian drones overwatching the artillery strikes on UAF and surveillance over the UAF movement.
11.1. The Almaz-Antey presentation at October 13, 2015 with spectacular test SAM detonation was not consistent with the data provided to the DSB. As with the later primary radar data reveal the main reason for this presentation was to discredit official investigation.
11.2. Unverified Almaz-Antey test results have no use to investigation because there was no control of setup and testing from the investigation experts. And because test detonations were conducted by investigation experts in Finland and in Ukraine
