Is This the BUK Missile Launcher that Shot Down MH17 Being Smuggled Back to Russia:
- Motorist Captures Military Truck Carrying BUK M1 in Border Town
NEW - A driver followed this military truck (left and inset) on a main road on Saturday night for two kilometres in a 'border area' of Russia before uploading the footage, filmed with a dashboard camera, on the internet. The cargo had no escort and Ukrainian sources have seized on it, captioning the footage:
'A Russian blogger filmed the BUK M1 in Russia, the one that shot the Boeing.' Reports from Ukraine suggested the BUK had been smuggled in the dead of night into Russia soon after the plane was blasted out of the sky on Thursday last week.
It came after images were released of a launcher rumbling through Torez (right), held by pro-Russian separatists, just two hours before the Malaysia Airlines flight was shot down.
