“On a tip from Twitter user @Sl0zhny the Bellingcat team was able to detect the “missing link” of the photo, which shows labelling of oversized cargo on the “buke 332”, taken to its transport in the column in June 2014. In a photo taken by the Russian mechanic, probably in the spring of 2013, see “Buk 332” with the same white vehicle markings that were visible on it in the Ukraine shortly before and shortly after the Downing of MH17. Is this picture “Buka 332″, in which a fully visible tail number and markings of oversized cargo, — the recent shooting of us discovered, taken to its transport in the column in June 2014, when the second digit side of the room was already painted”, – reported in the Bellingcat.
White numbers marking the center of mass and oversized cargo in this photo are in the same places as on the photos and videos from “Buck 332”, filmed in Russia in June 2014 and in Ukraine in July 2014, experts say.
Compare the markings on the same side 332 of Beech from July 2012 to 2014. Some pictures taken at an angle, in a given comparison were deployed to align the size of the markings. Because of the parallax marks on the white side flap tracks look in different places, although in reality they are one and the same place
