Source text - English How Can a Civilian Plane Accidentally Be Shot Down?
It’s not certain whether Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was brought down because of mistaken identity, but it is plausible.
Pro-Russian separatists may have shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine on Thursday because they mistook the civilian plane for something else. While we don’t yet know whether that explanation is correct, it does sound plausible to experts on missile technology, who say the systems that were involved create ample opportunities for planes to be misidentified.
The weapon used to down the Boeing 777—which was carrying 298 people—is believed to be the Buk surface-to-air missile system—known in Western parlance as the SA-11 Gadfly or SA-17 Grizzly. There are some versions of the Buk system that can attack aircraft at over 80,000 feet and at ranges of over 30 miles.
The Buk system was originally designed to defend advancing columns of ground troops from air attack, says Steve Zaloga, an expert on missile systems at the Teal Group, a defense-consulting firm in Virginia. Because of its purpose as a tactical weapon designed to support frontline troops, it is not connected to national air defense networks and can be operated independently, using its own radar systems, Zaloga says.
