bOLLy ENn - Rusia
telah mengeluarkan data pengawasan tentera, yang menunjukkan Kiev jet tentera
menjejaki pesawat MH17 sejurus sebelum kemalangan - dan menim-bulkan satu lagi
set soalan-soalan untuk Ukraine dan Amerika Syarikat ke atas hal keadaan
tragedi itu.
Pegawai
tentera - Ketua Staf Jeneral Angkatan Tentera Leftenan Jeneral Andrey
Kartopolov dan ketua Tentera Udara Kakitangan Utama Leftenan Jeneral Igor
Makushev - diajukan beberapa soalan utk Kiev & Washington mengenai
kemungkinan punca malapetaka di Timur Ukraine yang mengorbankan hampir 300
orang Khamis lepas.
1.
Kenapa pesawat MH17 yang meninggalkan koridor antarabangsa?
"Sila
ambil perhatian bahawa pesawat itu tinggal di dalam koridor tersebut sehingga
ianya sampai ke Donetsk tetapi kemudian ia menyimpang dari laluan ke
utara," kata Kartopolov.
2.
Telah MH17 meninggalkan laluan kesilapan pelayaran atau adalah anak-anak kapal
yang mengikut arahan oleh pengawal trafik udara Ukraine di Dnepropetrovsk?
"Sisihan
maksimum dari sempadan kiri koridor adalah 14 km. Berikutan itu, kita dapat
melihat pesawat manuver untuk kembali ke koridor, namun anak-anak kapal
Malaysia tidak berpeluang untuk melengkapkan gerakan itu. Pada 17.20, pesawat
itu mula kehilangan kelajuan, dan pada 17.23 ia hilang dari radar Rusia."
3.
Mengapa kumpulan besar sistem pertahanan udara dikerahkan
ke kawasan-yang
dipegang militia jika ‘self-defense forces’ tidak mempunyai kapal terbang?
"Setakat
yang kita tahu, tentera Ukraine mempunyai 3 atau 4 batalion pertahanan udara
dilengkapi dengan sistem Buk-M1 SAM dikerahkan di sekitar Donetsk pada hari
kemalangan itu. Sistem ini mampu mencecah sasaran dalam julat 35 km pada
ketinggian sehingga 22 km."

more QUESTIONS Russian military pose to Ukraine, US over MH17 CRASH . . .
Russia
has released military monitoring data, which shows Kiev military jets tracking
the MH17 plane shortly before the crash - and posed yet another set of
questions to Ukraine and the US over the circumstances of the tragedy.
Military
officials – chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces Lt. Gen. Andrey
Kartopolov and chief of the Air Force Main Staff Lt. Gen. Igor Makushev - posed
a number of questions to Kiev and Washington concerning the possible causes of
the catastrophe in Eastern Ukraine that killed almost 300 people last Thursday.
1.
Why did the MH17 plane leave the international corridor?
“Please
note that the plane stayed within the corridor until it reached Donetsk but
then it deviated from the route to the north,” said Kartopolov.
2.
Was MH17 leaving the route a navigation mistake or was the crew following
instructions by Ukrainian air traffic controllers in Dnepropetrovsk?
“The
maximum deviation from the left border of the corridor was 14 km. Following
that, we can see the plane maneuvering to return to the corridor, yet the
Malaysian crew did not get a chance to complete the maneuver. At 17.20, the
plane began to lose speed, and at 17.23 it disappeared from Russian radars.”
3.
Why was a large group of air defense systems deployed to the militia-held area
if the self-defense forces have no planes?
“As
far as we know, the Ukrainian military had three or four air defense battalions
equipped with Buk-M1 SAM systems deployed in the vicinity of Donetsk on the day
of the crash. This system is capable of hitting targets within the range of 35
km at the altitude of up to 22 km.”

Mengapa Kiev menggunakan Buk sistem peluru berpandu
sebelah kawasan militia
terkawal ke depan tragedi itu?
"Kami
mempunyai gambar-gambar satelit dari tempat di mana Ukraine mempunyai unit pertahanan
udara yang dikerahkan di bahagian tenggara negara ini. Yang pertama 3 gambar
telah dibuat pada 14 Julai yang pertama menunjukkan gambar pelancar Buk 8 km
barat laut Lugansk.
Anda
boleh melihat dengan jelas yang TELAR dan 2 TELs. Gambar kedua menunjukkan
radar 5 km utara Donetsk. Anda boleh melihat 2 tar bersama-sama dengan
peralatan lain dan struktur teknikal.
Gambar
yang ke-3 menunjukkan sistem pertahanan udara utara Donetsk. Anda boleh melihat
dengan jelas yang TELAR pelancar dan kira-kira 60 kenderaan tentera dan bantuan,
khemah-khemah untuk kenderaan dan struktur lain.
"Berikut
adalah gambar kawasan yang sama dibuat pada 17 Julai Sila ambil perhatian
bahawa pelancar telah hilang. Gambar yang ke-5 menunjukkan bateri peluru
berpandu Buk di Kampung Zaroshchenskoye 50 km timur Donetsk dan 8 km selatan
Shakhtyorsk pada pagi hari yang sama. Gambar yang ke-6 menunjukkan kawasan yang
sama pada 18 Julai Seperti yang anda lihat, telah meninggalkan bateri."
4.
Why did Kiev deploy Buk missile system right next to the militia-controlled
area straight ahead of the tragedy?
“We
have satellite photos of the places where Ukraine had its air defense units
deployed in the southeastern parts of the country. The first three photos were
made on July 14. The first photo shows Buk launchers 8 km northwest of Lugansk.
You can clearly see a TELAR and two TELs.
The
second photo shows radars 5 km north of Donetsk. You can see two TARs along
with other equipment and technical structures. The third photo shows air
defense systems north of Donetsk.
You
can clearly see a TELAR launcher and about 60 military and auxiliary vehicles,
tents for vehicles and other structures.
“Here’s
a photo of the same area made on July 17. Please note that the launcher has
disappeared. The fifth photo shows a battery of Buk missiles at the village of
Zaroshchenskoye 50 km east of Donetsk and 8 km south of Shakhtyorsk on the
morning of the same day. The sixth photo shows the same area on July 18. As you
can see, the battery has left.”

5.
Pada hari kemalangan Kiev meningkat aktiviti di radar 9S18 Kupol-M1, yang
merupakan sebahagian daripada sistem Buk di kawasan tersebut. Mengapa?
"Juga,
17 Julai menyaksikan peningkatan aktiviti di pihak Kupol-M1 9S18 radar Ukraine,
yang merupakan sebahagian daripada sistem Buk itu. Di sini pada carta ini anda
melihat bahawa terdapat tujuh radar yang beroperasi pada 15 Julai, lapan radar
yang beroperasi pada 16 Julai, dan 9 radar yang beroperasi pada 17 Julai
di kawasan itu.
Kemudian,
bermula dengan 18 Julai, keamatan aktiviti radar radikal menurun, dan kini
terdapat tidak lebih daripada 2 atau 3 radar beroperasi sehari. Sebab di sebalik
ini masih belum dijumpai."
6.
Apa kah yang kapal terbang tentera melakukan di laluan
yang dicadangkan untuk
penerbangan awam?
"Terdapat
3 pesawat awam di kawasan itu melakukan penerbangan biasa mereka pada masa ini.
Terdapat penerbangan dari Copenhagen ke Singapura pada 17:17, terdapat
penerbangan dari Paris ke Taipei pada 17:24, dan kemudian terdapat penerbangan
dari Amsterdam ke Kuala Lumpur."
"Selain
itu, sistem pemantauan Rusia mencatatkan bahawa terdapat jet Tentera Udara
Ukraine, mungkin kah Su-25, memanjat dan menghampiri Boeing Malaysia."
"Su-25
adalah 3 - 5 km dari kapal terbang Malaysia. Su-25 mampu mendaki ke ketinggian 10,000
meter untuk tempoh yang singkat. Persenjataan standard termasuk R60
udara-ke-udara peluru berpandu, yang mampu mengunci dan memukul sasaran
daripada 12 km dan yang dijamin untuk memukul sasaran dari jarak 5 km."
5.
On the day of the crash Kiev increased activity on its Kupol-M1 9S18 radars,
which are components of the Buk system in the area. Why?
“Also,
July 17 saw increased activity on the part of Ukraine’s Kupol-M1 9S18 radars,
which are part of the Buk system. Here on this chart you see that there were
seven radars operating on July 15, eight radars operating on July 16, and nine
radars operating on July 17 in the area.
Then,
starting with July 18, the intensity of radar activities radically decreased,
and now there are no more than two or three radars operating a day. The reason
behind this is yet to be found.”
6.
What was a military plane doing on the route intended
for civilian flights?
“There
were three civilian planes in the area performing their regular flights at this
time. There was a flight from Copenhagen to Singapore at 17:17, there was a
flight from Paris to Taipei at 17:24, and then there was the flight from
Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur.”
“Also,
Russian monitoring systems registered that there was a Ukrainian Air Force jet,
probably Su-25, climbing and approaching the Malaysian Boeing.”
“The
Su-25 was 3-5 km away from the Malaysian plane. Su-25 is capable of climbing to
the altitude of 10,000 meters for a short period of time. Its standard armament
includes R60 air-to-air missiles, which are capable of locking and hitting
targets from 12 km and which are guaranteed to hit the target from the distance
of 5 km.”

Mengapa jet tentera terbang pada masa yang hampir sama
dan ketinggian yang sama
dengan pesawat penumpang?
"Pada
17: 21'35, dengan halaju [Boeing ini] telah menurun kepada 200 kilometer sejam,
markah mengesan objek di udara muncul di tempat kemusnahan Boeing ini. Objek
udara baru ini telah mengesan secara berterusan untuk jangka masa 4 minit oleh
stesen radar Ust-Donetsk dan Buturinskaya.
Seorang
pengawal trafik udara diminta ciri-ciri objek di udara yang baru, tetapi tidak
mampu untuk mendapatkan apa-apa bacaan pada parameternya - kemungkinan besar
kerana fakta bahawa pesawat baru itu tidak dilengkapi dengan transponder radar
pengawasan menengah, yang merupakan ciri yang tersendiri pesawat tentera,
"kata Makushev.
"Mengesan
pesawat baru menjadi mungkin kerana ia mula naik. Perubahan seterusnya dalam
koordinat objek di udara ini menunjukkan bahawa ia berada di atas laman Boeing
777 itu terhempas, pemantauan keadaan.
"Pegawai-pegawai
Ukraine awal mendakwa bahawa tidak ada pesawat tentera Ukraine di kawasan
kemalangan hari itu. Seperti yang anda lihat, ianya adalah tidak benar."
8.
manakah pelancar - dari video yang disebarkan oleh media Barat dan menunjukkan
sistem Buk dipindahkan didakwa dari Ukraine ke Rusia - datang? Video itu dibuat
di wilayah yang dikuasai Kiev, di mana pelancar telah diangkut?
"Saya
ingin mengatakan bahawa maklumat yang kami telah dibentangkan di sini adalah
berdasarkan kepada objektif dan boleh dipercayai data dari pelbagai sistem
teknikal - tidak seperti tuduhan-tuduhan tidak berasas yang dibuat terhadap
Rusia," kata Kartopolov.
7.
Why was the military jet flying at almost the same time and the same altitude
with a passenger plane?
“At
17:21’35, with [the Boeing’s] velocity having dropped to 200 kilometers per
hour, a new mark detecting an airborne object appears at the spot of the
Boeing’s destruction. This new airborne object was continuously detected for
the duration of four minutes by the radar stations Ust-Donetsk and
Buturinskaya.
An
air traffic controller requested the characteristics of the new airborne
object, but was unable to get any readings on its parameters – most likely due
to the fact that the new aircraft was not equipped with a secondary
surveillance radar transponder, which is a distinctive feature of military
aircraft,” said Makushev.
“Detecting
the new aircraft became possible as it started to ascend. Further changes in
the airborne object’s coordinates suggest that it was hovering above the Boeing
777’s crash site, monitoring of the situation.
“Ukrainian
officials earlier claimed that there were no Ukrainian military aircraft in the
area of the crash that day. As you can see, that is not true.”
8.
Where did the launcher – from the video circulated by
Western media and showing
a Buk system being moved allegedly from Ukraine to Russia – come from? As the
video was made on the territory controlled by Kiev, where was the launcher
being transported?
“I’d
like to say that the information we have presented here is based on objective
and reliable data from various technical systems – unlike the groundless
accusations made against Russia,” said Kartopolov.
"Sebagai
contoh, media mengedarkan video kononnya menunjukkan sistem Buk dipin-dahkan
dari Ukraine ke Rusia. Ini jelas fabrikasi.
Video
ini dibuat di bandar Krasnoarmeisk, seperti yang dibuktikan oleh papan iklan
yang anda lihat di latar belakang, mengiklankan jualan kereta pada 34
Dnepropetrovsk Street. Krasnoarmeysk telah dikawal oleh tentera Ukraine sejak
11 Mei"
“For
example, media circulated a video supposedly showing a Buk system being moved
from Ukraine to Russia. This is clearly a fabrication.
This
video was made in the town of Krasnoarmeisk, as evidenced by the billboard you
see in the background, advertising a car dealership at 34 Dnepropetrovsk
Street. Krasnoarmeysk has been controlled by the Ukrainian military since May
11.”

Di manakah ia sekarang? Kenapa beberapa peluru berpandu hilang pada pelancar?
Bilakah kali terakhir peluru berpandu telah dilancarkan daripadanya?
9.
Where is it right now? Why are some of the missiles missing on the launcher?
When was the last time a missile was launched from it?
Screenshot daripada video
yang dipaparkan di Kementerian Ukraine akaun Negeri, menunjukkan sistem Buk
kononnya dipindahkan dari Ukraine ke Rusia dengan 2 daripada 3 peluru berpandu (Screenshot
from video posted on Ukraine’s Ministry of Interior account, showing a Buk
system supposedly being moved from Ukraine to Russia with two out of three
missiles).
10.
Mengapa tidak pegawai Amerika Syarikat mendedahkan bukti yang menyokong dakwaan
bahawa MH17 telah ditembak jatuh oleh peluru berpandu yang dilancarkan oleh
militia?
"Pegawai
Amerika Syarikat mendakwa mereka mempunyai gambar-gambar satelit membuktikan
pesawat Malaysia telah ditembak jatuh oleh peluru berpandu yang dilancarkan
oleh militia.
Tetapi
tiada siapa yang melihat gambar-gambar ini setakat ini. Setakat yang kita tahu,
memang merupakan satelit Amerika Syarikat terbang di atas tenggara Ukraine pada
17 Julai 17:06-17:21 masa Moscow.
"Satelit
ini adalah sebahagian daripada sistem eksperimen yang direka untuk mengesan dan
memantau pelancaran peluru berpandu pelbagai julat. Jika rakan-rakan Amerika
kita mempunyai imej dari satelit ini, mereka harus melepaskannya untuk
masyarakat antarabangsa untuk memeriksanya secara terperinci.
Ini
mungkin satu kebetulan, tetapi satelit Amerika Syarikat terbang di atas Ukraine
tepat pada masa yang sama apabila pesawat Malaysia terhempas."
10.
Why haven’t US officials revealed the evidence supporting claims that the MH17
was shot down by a missile launched by the militia?
“US
officials claim they have satellite photographs proving the Malaysian airliner
was shot down by a missile launched by the militia. But no one has seen these
photographs so far. As far as we know, there was indeed a US satellite flying
over southeastern Ukraine on July 17 from 17:06 to 17:21 Moscow time.
“This
satellite is part of an experimental system designed to track and monitor the
launches of missiles of various ranges. If our US colleagues have imagery from
this satellite, they should release it for the international community to
examine it in detail. This may be a coincidence, but the US satellite flew over
Ukraine at exactly the same time when the Malaysian airliner crashed.”

Ini
bukan kali pertama Russia membawakan naik soalan-soalan ‘brings up questions’ mengenai kemalangan pesawat. Tiada
penjelasan yang telah mengikuti dengan Kiev menegaskan mereka mempunyai bukti
yang penuh dengan Rusia berada di belakang serangan itu, tetapi setakat ini
hanya melepaskan pita ‘tapes’.
Amerika
Syarikat, meletakkan kesalahan pada ‘self-defense forces’, masih belum enggan
untuk melepaskan apa-apa bahan perisikan. Pada Jabatan Negara Isnin Timbalan
Jurucakap Marie Harf diterangkan kenyataan Rusia sebagai "propaganda dan
mak-lumat yang salah" - tetapi apabila wartawan bertanya sama ada
Washington akan melepaskan data perisikan dan satelit mereka, Harf hanya
menjawab "berkenaan." Setakat ini Amerika Syarikat telah menyokong
kenyataan dengan media sosial dan "akal."
This
is not the first time Russia brings
up questions on the plane crash. No explanations have followed with
Kiev insisting they have full evidence of Russia being behind the attack, but
so far only releasing tapes.
The
USA, putting the blame on the self-defense forces, has yet refused to release
any intelligence material. On Monday State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie
Harf described Russia’s statements as “propaganda and misinformation” - but
when reporters asked her whether Washington would be releasing their
intelligence and satellite data, Harf only replied "may be." So far
the US has been backing its statements by social media and "common
sense."
