You should tell Almaz-Antey that then.
Russia's air defense systems manufacturer Almaz-Antey presented its report on the 2014 flight MH17 disaster at a press conference on Tuesday.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was downed by a Buk 9М38-М1 guided missile fired from Ukrainian military-controlled territory, engineers from the Russian Almaz-Antey corporation said in a press conference presenting their report on Tuesday.

Yes, they say it was a BUK. They also say it was fired from Ukranian controlled territory.
The report showed that the missile was fired from Ukrainian military-controlled territory. According to Almaz-Antey, the damage analysis shows that if the missile was fired from Snezhnoye, as Ukraine alleged, "the entire front end of the cabin would have been blown off."

"The shrapnel moved from the nose of the plane to its tale inside its fuselage. The left engine, left wing and partially the tail unit were damaged. Specialists concluded that the missile was moving with a considerable intersection of the plane's flight path. That is, not from the front but from the side," Malyshev said.

Do you also acknowledge these parts of your source?
Considering that they haven't shown any evidence as to who fired it or from where either, it doesn't prove who did it either way.
You should tell Almaz-Antey that then.
You think that a company that makes most of its money from a government is going to come out and say that the people that government are supporting did it?

As has been pointed out that is a video of an An-26 that was shot down weeks before. No footage of MH17's final moments has been released to the public. However, like I said before, considering the debris field stretches over 5 miles we know that it broke up at or near cruising altitude.
The US refuses to prove and demonstrate the BUK story because it cannot, and anybody paying attention understands that.
But you do feel it is proof when Almaz-Antay says it was a BUK, but you choose to ignore the rest of what they are saying. It is not proof, but it sure is evidence.
Almaz-Antey’s presentation incidentally shows that the engineers’ report previously published by the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, which I discussed previously (see Russian Report Points to Ukrainian BUK Missile as Responsible for MH17 Tragedy, Russia Insider, 8th May 2015) was prepared for or by Almaz-Antey.
The Almaz-Antey presentation confirms MH17 was shot down by a BUK missile, burying once and for all the SU 25 theory, about which regular readers of Russia Insider will know I have always been skeptical.
Are you going to tell them that their conclusion is wrong? But I thought they were the manufacturer?
How is it wrong...the manufacturer has confirmed it was a BUK.

In the Netherlands all people are closely watched. In numbers more people then in the whole of the USA When you see someone skinned alive and see they make the poor human watch his own skin-face, he has not the eyelids anymore so he can not even close his eyes, because his eyelids are on his own skin in-front of him, those things make me cautious.

You were the one using their quote to prove a point.....
And no I don't. I also don't think they would lie for them. They could've easily said nothing at all.
What is funny is that you obviously don't consider or even acknowledge the possible scenario that the Ukraine did it.
Why do you ignore the possibility that Almaz-Antay is not lying? Is it not possible that they are sharing their honest conclusions?
You just suggested that your stance is basically objective. This is obviously not true.
