The General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of Russia confirmed the information about the presence of two planes near the crashed Malaysian Boeing.

Recall, according to one of the considered versions, an airplane of the type Boeing 777 flight MH17 was shot down by the Ukrainian Air Force. Today, representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation presented data indicating that at the time of the loss of altitude by the Malaysian aircraft, two aircraft, presumably the Su-25 aircraft, began to gain altitude, and, as you know, this maneuver is actively used by military aircraft during attacking the target.

Nevertheless, it is worth noting that in the wreckage of a Boeing 777 bullet holes were found from shells of 20 mm caliber used by these attack aircraft, however, if we take into account the fact that the Su-25 attack aircraft has an absolute ceiling of 7 thousand meters, then this version is not proven.
