Perhaps the SAM was fired during a routine training exercise and accidentally destroyed the civilian airliner. That exact scenario happened in 2001: the Ukrainian military shot down
Siberia Airlines 1812 with a SAM.
I'm not saying it's
likely that the Ukrainian military is responsible, but I don't think we can completely rule out that possibility either.
