In the report of Antey they clearly saying that the missile is 9M38. Its in the very end of this page, you won't miss it. So it seems RT is messed smth up.

(Reminder post—see my previous post for more detailed reply.) 

Sharu, I cannot read Russian.  What does the circled portion of damage at the bottom of the website mean?  And what do you think about that other website and the pictures of damage that match the damage pattern of a 9M38M1 missile?  Or have I completely misread everything and the butterfly damage pattern is from a 9M38 (not 9M38M1) missile?  (If so please link source.) 

In the bottom is written:
'Refinement the type of missile. Missile type is 9M38 with a warhead 9H314 (with no twotaurs (Double-t-iron - not sure if correct, butterfly shapen)'

I don't know anything on damage pattern. I'm not metallurgy or weapon export, so I'd better not speak my opinion on the things I understand nothing. 

Btw pictures on the link higher are from experiment. 

Pictures from actual MH17 are here http://tass.ru/eksperiment-almaz-anteya/ocenka-povrezhdeniy-samoleta/2344008
