A ‘big smoking hole’ like the one not made by the 911 flight 93 in Pennsylvania!

The weapons system needed for an attack like this would need a heavy vehicle (possibly tracked) for the missile, a mobile radar array to track targets and guide missiles and a suite of some sort with the missile controllers and computer systems inside.

It doesn't really sound like these "rag-tag separatists" could easily get equipment like this and properly maintain and deploy it with properly trained personnel. Does this mean it is linked to Russia, I don't know, but I do know the current line on the separatists shooting this aircraft down doesn't add up.
