BUK 312 on a trailer in Yasinovata near Donetsk on March 18th, 2014.

The image was shown in low resolution on Ukrainian SBU website as evidence and later removed after it was shown to be a Ukrainian unit.

 * ''The Interpreter is of the view that the Facebook photos (there are two of them – the second is below) were clearly taken at the same time and in the same location as the picture released by the SBU. It considers, therefore, that the SBU has "made a mistake" by including this picture in their latest release. It does not appear to show a BUK that was in possession of the rebels – and nor indeed that it was on its way to Russia.

There is also a video of the same trailer at the same site, uploaded by Ukrainian Journalist Anatoly Shary, living in the Netherlands.

According to an alleged ex-operator:


 * The first relocation of our Lugansk division was to Kramatorsk military airdrome. We've been allocated barracks there. In a month we' ve been moved into the fields in Dnepropetrovskaya Oblast, Novaya Grigorievka village. The photo you showed in one of your videos, the bad quality one (5'50") was taken when our SOU commander decided to drive it, but the electric wiring inside the SOU ignited. The missiles nearly exploded, but luckily firefighters came on time to put the fire down. That's why it was moved on the low-base semi-trailer as seen in the picture.
