Ukrainian minister is saying it was militants that shot it down according to MSN homepage right now.
I believe Geraldo's story.
Russia gave high tech SAMs to pro russian militants, an incompetent militant shot at passenger plane with these weapons.

Ukrainian cargo aircraft shotdown on Monday, a SU-25 fighter yesterday, 777 today. Russians seem to be getting their groove on.

So is it a confirmed SA-17 or what? I'll check out Ukraine's OOB to see what they have.

Why was a passenger plane even flying over a war zone? Seems like there would be better routes to take.

fox news calls it a book SAM

Not an AD expert, but it could be either, right. Initial reporting is just that it's a Buk system (haven't seen whether is M1 or M2.

here is what I think happened.
This plane lost contact is it began to cross into ukraine, sometime after that loss of contact the plane would have turned to avoid the war zone, because it lost contact it didn't turn and continued straight which brought them right over a war zone, it got shot down.

SA-17 is the NATO designation for later variations of the Buk system.

Boeing 777 passenger airplane of Malaysian Airlines crashed on the territory of Ukraine in 60 km from the Russian border, a source in air traffic control circles told ITAR-TASS.
The source noted that the flight was supposed to enter the Russian air space at 17:20 Moscow standard time (13:20 UTC).
“However, it fell down in 60 km from the border; the plane’s emergency location beacon went off,” the source said.

Has it been confirmed it was shot down and not just a crash?
