(13 Oct 2015) A Russian state-controlled missile-maker on Tuesday said that it's own investigation of last year's crash of the MH17 airliner over rebel-held eastern Ukraine contradicts conclusions from a Dutch probe.
Results of the Dutch investigation are to be released later on Tuesday.
Yan Novikov, head of the Russian Almaz-Antey concern, speaking at a news conference, did not specify what was in the report and he did not say whether he had been given an advance look.
The Malaysian airliner crashed on 17 July 2014, in rebel-controlled eastern Ukraine, and is widely believed to have been shot down by a surface-to-air missile.
Ukraine and Western countries contend the missile was fired by Russian troops or Russian-backed separatists.
The allegations have focused on the Russian-made Buk missile system, which has several variants.
Novikov said evidence shows that if the plane was hit by a Buk, it was fired from the village of Zaroshenske, which Russia says was under Ukrainian government control at the time.
