So the Russians claim that a Ukrainian fighter jet was near the Malaysian flight a couple minutes before it went down. Given that the rebels had shot down a couple planes before, would this not suggest (and using the Russian reddit explanation) that the rebels, without all the proper equipment for the BUK, saw the fighter, took a shot and missed but hit the Malaysian flight instead? This sounds like a more plausible explanation than the Ukrainians did it. I can't see the Ukrainians doing it just because they have so much to lose if they get caught. The rebels, not as much.
