| Mr Khan said: A missile at 33,000 ft? Is that possible with the tech the rebels have? |
Early mod of the Buk SAM, which has technical capability to shot it, has been probably captured by the rebels, but that's not certain, and I'm not sure if they had all radar equipement to even spot smth at this altitude even if they had one. Earlier they relied on MANPADS, Strela-10 and ZU-23-2 only, this altitude is virtually unreachable for them.
The better question to ask why it even flew through this airspace, shouldn't it have been closed? I clearly remember it was closed. Have a strong feeling of dejavue behind all this. Seems like yet another blast of infowar, hopefully only "info" this time. Will wait for official statements on that to build any hypothesis.
