Can't see a missile bringing that down at full height - I maybe wrong.
Looking at the news channels now - it would appear I am indeed wrong ...

There is an unsubstantiated report that a rebel commander claimed to have shot down a second transport plane and the website where that statement was made appears to have been "cleaned". Add this to that report: voiceofrussia.com/news/2014_06_29/Donetsk-militia-takes-control-of-Ukrainian-anti-air-installation-1561/Russia may have a lot of sorting out to do now. A copy of the rebel commander's post was copied before deletion. It has now appeared on the internet. It includes photos of the the 777 smoke trail similar to those on other media sites.
