Dr Neal Krawetz, maker of the tool Bellingcat used,
Yeah... chalk this up as a "how to not do image analysis".
twitter.com...
The founder Neal Krawetz has to dissociate from the Twitter Bellingcat conclusions. He says it is a good example, "how not to make an analysis."

Actually, 10km is 32,808 feet
Maybe you should actually read before you go around making accusations and replying to people.
I wasn't making accusations..
I see why you hid the link...
Gotta love the Kremlin propaganda pushing.
Well that might be true.
How many ft is 7 km? 7 km = 22965.8792651 ft
Acording to their official page though its not able to go 10 km height though.

Except we're back to an R-60 not being able to destroy a 777 the way this one was destroyed.
The exercise that involved the Georgian Su-25s didn't start until early September as pointed out. Exercise Breeze 2014 ended four days before the shootdown and didn't involve Georgia.
So that brings us back to a missile incapable of tearing apart an aircraft the size of a 777 the way this one was.
Oh really?
Either you made these accusations because you weren't paying attention or you were spreading lies on purpose.
According to their lead designer it can reach 10km.
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.
The height on their site is based on the lack of an oxygen mask. An su25 can easily fly above 10 km. And it could have fired a missile from below 7 km.
Hence is why this thread should prolly close or go to the HOAX bin.
