The people who fired that Buk knew – or should have known (it was easily checkable) that there were airliners flying overhead. They could have checked where they were.
Why? If things had gone according to planned routes, it never would have flown over that area. Not only should the area have been avoided anyway, it was actually changed at the last minute to make it worse. Not everyone even knows bout FlightRadar24, I didn’t until a few months ago. And even if they did, if Kiev were flying military jets at the same time and using jamming, that makes it very difficult to tell one from the other, and thousands of civilian lives were lost on the ground, compelling them to fire.
As far as I can see, they were shooting at anything they detected, despite knowing (& if not knowing, being criminally negligent, since it was, as I keep saying, information easily accessible to them) that there were lots of airliners up there.
They obviously weren’t otherwise other airliners would have been shot down too.
BTW, what battle were they in? Was anyone bombing them, or anyone within the area they covered? Everything I’ve read says not.
You should read much harder.
You keep saying that they were just a rag-tag bunch of rebels who couldn’t help it. ********! They weren’t children.
Neither were the US Navy, or the Ukrainian Army.
As for those Israelis – maybe there should be a criminal investigation. Consider the ratio of civilian to military deaths, the detailed knowledge Israel has of the geography of Gaza, & some of the things hit with precision weapons.
The Israeli situation is way different. They knew their strikes would result in hundred of civilian deaths but decided they’d do it anyways to get the target. Not saying Hamas isn’t at fault too for putting military targets near civilians, although it’s hard not to in Gaza, but you can’t, for instance, take out a city block, just because there’s one terrorist inside. Actions have to be proportionate.
