So you are just going to persist in spreading false information which my OP just proved to be false.
Kiev-born Soviet and Russian aircraft designer Vladimir Babak said on Monday that the SU-25 jet – which was spotted tracking the MH17 Boeing at the moment it crashed down – did not have the capability to shoot down a passenger plane. He said the fighter jet could have successfully attacked the Boeing at an altitude of 3,000-4,000 meters, but not at the plane’s altitude of 10,500 meters. He added that air-to-air missiles would have only damaged the Boeing – not completely destroyed it while still in the air.
So what this all means is that any Su25 can do this, at least you have seen that a Su25-UB can do this and you seem to agree that it doesn't differ from the standard Su25, performance wise.

So this was your debunk? Just deny the provided proof and claim the opposite? Discrediting the source off course.
Not going to work.

They are the Russian governments expert what do you expect them to say?
So when they say it was a BUK they are reliable. When they say it was fired from Ukraine controlled territory they are suddenly not reliable, even though this was determined using the same expertise.
Cherrypicking, much?
Problem with his theory is that the major damage was from the front left side, so that puts that into question.
Problem with that is that there are obvious exit holes in the left side too.
Ah forgot. You do know they can PHOTOSHOP a Altimiter correct?
As for the exit holes as thin skinned as a 777 is a rod from a BUK will pass through it like a laser through air. Bro do you even SAM?
The manufacturer has nothing to gain from lying. It will not fly that high with ANY WEAPONS ON IT AND BE EFFECTIVE

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's only about 35,000 feet.
That's not much above commercial jet altitude.
There are quite a few other fighters that can operate beyond that altitude easily.
So what's so great about this capability?
Even the late WW2 props could fly and excel at 10km with no problem...P47s, P51s, late BF109s, Ta152...

It snot able to get to that height at all armed.
But it is, when unarmed?
According to the designers its not able to.
Russia was even caught editing the Wiki page on it.
WW2 fighters had OXYGEN systems for heights over that so that comparison is bunk about. They were not pressurized they had MASK SYSTEMS for that though.
TheR-60 missile is also HEAT SEEKING and would not HIT THE COCKPIT. it would had hit the engine,and we would had heard a MAYDAY. Also aircraft break up in varying ways accordin gto a number of factors. SO its very possible large debri can be found if hit by a BUK/SAM.
Obviously SOMEONE has been adjusting their ALTIMITER to support this LIE. YEs you can make a altimiter say anything you want with soem adjusting. Commercial airlines do it all the time with a dial in the cockpit.
SO th emystery of the ALTIMITER is SOLVED. OP i just burned your Theory and RTs as well.

Sure you did.....
Altimeters can be adjusted to make up for differences in atmospheric pressure at sea level compared to higher elevated terrain.
The possible difference in readouts of different settings are well within a 1 km margin, way less even, probably. There is no way you can adjust one to get a difference of 5 km.
Btw, the radar image I posted was faked too right?
There was some tampering with the altimiter and with the radar to fit the narrative.

Also it dont matter if the SU-25 pilot had oxygen. the ENGINES themselves will STALL OUT Before it gets to that triple 7s altitude.

Your source is Busted kid
Complete BS. Even the debunkers and the manufacturer agree that it can at least reach that altitude.
Repeating this doesn't make it true.
Did you not imply that the Su25 is not capable, because it has no standard oxygen mask?
Right, your contribution has been a joke, all over the place, and blatantly false.
Super crappy try, guy.
No they don't. You seem to hear only what you want to hear.
The Russian Defense Ministry had said shortly after the crash of MH17 that had been seen Ukrainian Su-25 near the Malaysian Boeing. This version contradicts the Russian chief designer of this aircraft type in an interview with WDR, NDR and SZ. "We have worked with our colleagues played all versions and as a Su-25 can not understand that Boeing could shoot," says Vladimir Babak, who for 35 years with his favorite child, the Su-25, is engaged. The Commission acknowledges that the aircraft briefly rise to more than 10,000 meters, but there could not shoot without crashing. For the Su-25 is a low-flying aircraft, only for it had been constructed.
The ones that build it say that it can barely reach 10,000 meters for a short time. That's it.
False because it doesn't agree with your RT/Kremlin mouthpiece idea that an SU 25 can do this...what is even funnier they know for a fact the capabilities of the jet doesn't allow it to what they say it has, but of course there are the gullible that want to believe so badly they just don't want hear the truth.
