Malaysian flight downed by missile, says expert

The Russian maker of the Buk air defence missile system says it has concluded that Malaysian Airlines flight 17 was downed by an older version of the missile.

It says the type is not in service with the Russian military but is in Ukrainian arsenals.

Mikhail Malyshevsky, an adviser to the director general of the state-controlled Almaz-Antei consortium, said the analysis was based on photographs of the wreckage available to the public.
