Russia and the missile manufacturer Almaz-Antey denounced the Dutch MH17 report as politically biased and based on simulations rather than technical evidence. They argued that the specific "dog biscuit" shaped shrapnel characteristic of the Buk missile was not found in the wreckage, challenging the investigation's conclusions.

Bellingcat founder Eliot Higgins announced that the organization received funding from Google News Lab to sustain operations and hire full-time staff. The hosts express skepticism regarding Bellingcat's independence and its reporting on the MH17 shootdown. They also criticize an NPR report by Corey Flintoff for implying that the Dutch Safety Board report concluded a Russian crew must have operated the Buk missile, a detail not explicitly stated in the official findings.

The Dutch Safety Board, led by Peter van Vollenhove, released its final report on the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17. Russian missile manufacturer Almaz-Antey conducted real-world testing by blowing up a plane to argue the missile was an older Buk model used only by Ukrainian forces, not rebels. The hosts critique the mainstream media's reliance on a Dutch animation of the event over physical evidence and radar data.

A report from the Dutch broadcaster NOS claimed that the investigation into the downing of flight MH17 points toward a Russian Buk missile. However, Russia Today (RT) contacted Dutch prosecutors who stated that no such final conclusion has been reached. The hosts suggest the Dutch media is pushing a narrative to satisfy a traumatized public despite a lack of verified evidence.

### SA-11 Buk Missile System Technical Analysis and Attribution

- **Episode:** [636: Appification Generation](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/636-appification-generation.md)
- **Published:** 2014-07-20
- **Time:** 48:10–1:00:37
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/636-appification-generation/chapter/sa-11-buk-missile-system-technical-analysis-and-attribution.md

The technical operation of the SA-11 Buk missile system is examined, focusing on its semi-active homing radar requirements. The hosts argue that operating such a system requires significant skill, contradicting the "drunken bonehead" narrative presented in the media. Representative Peter King is featured calling for sanctions on Aeroflot and blaming Vladimir Putin directly for the deaths of passengers.
