&quot;Meanwhile, Russian officials denied the allegation.
Officials of the producer of the Buk missile, Almaz-Antey, told a news conference on Tuesday that they had carried out their own analysis of traces found on the aircraft. They said even if the jet was shot down by a Buk, it was an old type that is no longer used by the Russian military.<p>The official also hinted that the missile was fired from a village in the Donetsk region, where Ukrainian forces were said to have been stationed at the time of the crash.<p>Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov called the report an attempt to make a biased conclusion.
He argued that the report had failed to take account of the Russian investigations.&quot;<p>From:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www3.nhk.or.jp&#x2F;nhkworld&#x2F;english&#x2F;news&#x2F;20151014_06.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www3.nhk.or.jp&#x2F;nhkworld&#x2F;english&#x2F;news&#x2F;20151014_06.html</a><p>So, even if the truth is out in the open (and given the tweets right after hitting the plane there wasn&#x27;t much doubt) there is apparently no way Russia is going to own up to this.
