‘We are suing EU for unjustified sanctions against us’: missile manufacturer Almaz-Antey at media conference now — Daniel Bushell (@danielb_rt) June 2, 2015

This is the world’s biggest BUK missile manufacturer…they should know because they make these things in mass.
‘The damage to MH17 allows us to identify the most likely type of missile’: BUK missile maker at media conference now
— Daniel Bushell (@danielb_rt) June 2, 2015
- EU sanctions against the BUK missile manufacturer Almaz-Antey are motivated by its alleged complicity in the tragedy of the MH17 flight shot down over east Ukraine, CEO Yan Novikov told reporters.
- “The purpose of today’s conference is to prove our non-involvement in the MH-17 tragedy,” Almaz-Antey to reporters.
- The BUK 9M317 missile type employed by the Russian Armed Forces is out of the question here, as the shape of the fragments does not match the damage caused to the aircraft – adviser to the head engineer Mikhail Malyshevsky
- The character of the damage caused to the aircraft is consistent only with the BUK9M38 and BUK9M38-M1 missiles, if the BUK missiles are in question – Malyshevsky
- Traces of Buk 9M38M1 missile fragments found on remains of MH17 Boeing, Malyshevsky said.
- The version of events that saw MH17 hit with a missile launched from the Snezhny district is full of inconsistencies – Malyshevsky
- The damage caused to the aircraft appears consistent with the 9M38-M1 missile, which has a specific “scalpel” trajectory, with 40 percent of shrapnel breaking apart in a perpendicular fashion to the initial trajectory of the missile – Malyshev
- “During the first stage of our investigation, the type of system was established. It was a Buk-M1 system [NATO reporting name SA-11], a 9М38-М1 rocket and a 9М314 warhead,” – Malyshev
- Almaz-Antey has evidence that the BUK-M1 air defense missile system and accompanying missiles have been still deployed with the Ukrainian Armed Forces in 2005. According to their evidence, they had a total of 991 9M38M1 missiles at the time – Malyshev
- The missile that likely struck the Boeing aircraft, 9M38-M1, was not produced in the Russian Federation since 1999 – Almaz-Antey to reporters.
- The missile could not have been fired from Snezhny, as the survey findings are consistent with it being fired from the Zaroschshenskoe village – Almaz-Antey

Engineers from the Russian Almaz-Antey corporation, manufacturer of the Buk missile system, said at a press conference Tuesday that the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which crashed in Ukraine on July 17, 2014, was downed by a guided missile.
