So who shot the missile? I figure it was the Koreans.

I'd bet they shoot one down before Russia would.
That's what I am thinking too. I imagine Russia would know exactly what that plane was. Plus, the pro-Russian side isn't the Russian government, per se, so it would seem more likely that the Ukrainian government would have the means to do it.

This, as well as would the rebels even have that kind of missile? Seems like either the Ukes or the russkies government

Seems pretty foolhardy to be flying over a war zone.
A no-fly zone hasn't been issued over this conflict, as far as I know. This path is probably pretty popular for flights connecting Europe to Asia.

Maybe someone with military experience can tell us exactly how ground to air misses work. Do they just see an object on radar and fire?

So, was it the Russians or the Ukrainians.
Apparently, the separatists just shot down a Ukrainian fighter jet just recently. This could be them at it again.

The fact that Eurocontrol/MH dispatch sent that plane over an area where SAMs were fired less than a week ago blows my mind
