Looks like two empty positions.

Tell you what. Let us drop you from 30,000 feet and measure how high you bounce and how far you roll.
You do realize, don't you, that a Superball dropped from that height will (if it survives the impact) bounce clear over the Matterhorn?
And now we have an opinion. Isn't that special? Is this opinion founded on anything whatsoever besides wishful thinking and other sand?
It's a still image captured from video purported to be from the Ukraine gov't and disseminated by AP. The video clearly shows it's missing two missiles.

Well, it's a 'Chess Game' between the US and Russia governments, only because neither wants to compromise the capabilities of their detection and surveillance systems.
Here's some information on another source stating the US has solid evidence that is was a Ukrainian Army unit...
...
The dog-not-barking question on the catastrophe over Ukraine is: what did the U.S. surveillance satellite imagery show? It's hard to believe that -- with the attention that U.S. intelligence has concentrated on eastern Ukraine for the past half year that the alleged trucking of several large Buk anti-aircraft missile systems from Russia to Ukraine and then back to Russia didn't show up somewhere.
Yes, there are limitations to what U.S. spy satellites can see. But the Buk missiles are about 16 feet long and they are usually mounted on trucks or tanks. Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 also went down during the afternoon, not at night, meaning the missile battery was not concealed by darkness.
So why hasn't this question of U.S. spy-in-the-sky photos -- and what they reveal -- been pressed by the major U.S. news media? How can the Washington Post run front-page stories, such as the one on Sunday with the definitive title "U.S. official: Russia gave systems," without demanding from these U.S. officials details about what the U.S. satellite images disclose?

What I've been told by one source, who has provided accurate information on similar matters in the past, is that U.S. intelligence agencies do have detailed satellite images of the likely missile battery that launched the fateful missile, but the battery appears to have been under the control of Ukrainian government troops dressed in what look like Ukrainian uniforms.
The source said CIA analysts were still not ruling out the possibility that the troops were actually eastern Ukrainian rebels in similar uniforms but the initial assessment was that the troops were Ukrainian soldiers. There also was the suggestion that the soldiers involved were undisciplined and possibly drunk, since the imagery showed what looked like beer bottles scattered around the site, the source said.

How US satellites pinpointed source of missile that shot down airliner
Satellite technology built to detect ballistic missile launches caught Buk’s signature.

President Barack Obama today said without hesitation that the missile that shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was launched from within territory controlled by pro-Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine. While he didn’t go into the sources the US used to pinpoint the launch, early reports say that US intelligence had identified the infrared signature of a missile launch just before contact with the airliner was lost.
That information likely came from one of a network of satellites operated by the Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), the US intelligence community’s spy satellite operations agency. Using highly sensitive infrared sensors and other electronic intelligence gathering sensors, these satellites can detect a variety of ground-based missile systems, as well as some aircraft, by their infrared signature. They also carry sensitive electronic intelligence sensors that can detect radar signals associated with anti-aircraft missile systems like the Buk launcher that has been widely pointed to as the culprit in the MH17 downing.

I bet even you have a theory.
Airplanes tend to not bounce very well.
Spoiler alert, not very far and sure as hell not 6 miles. Also terminal velocity of a human is achieved at roughly 1800 Feet, so 30,000 feet makes no difference...
So no a tail of an airplane does not bounce 6 miles after nearly falling six miles.
According to who is it headed to Russia? And does headed to Russia mean headed East and or North, or does it mean at the border crossing?
All you have is a picture with an interpretation by the AP, which was probably given to them by Kiev.
That reporting is also based on the older DSP models from 1980s technology... now advance 30 years of generational and technological enhancements/advancements... add the new SBIRS constellations(current costs in the $10-15 Billion in expenditures, and you're talking on a level of total NSA surveillance of anything IR/rockets... looks like a bottle rocket can't escape the multiple layers of the 3D detection systems of today.How US satellites pinpointed source of missile that shot down airliner

During the Iran-Iraq War of the late 1980s and the Persian Gulf War in 1991, DSP satellites detected the launch of Iraqi “Scud” missiles and even surface-to-air missile batteries. And a capability called “Slow Walker” developed in the 1980s allowed satellites to track aircraft afterburner exhaust, a capability pushed by the US Navy to help it defend against potential attack by Soviet Tu-22 “Backfire” bombers.

Ground control and mission data analysis for the new SBIRS GEO satellites and HEO payloads will be performed by the 2nd Space Warning Squadron (SWS) in the Mission Control Station (MCS) at Buckley AFB, CO, as it currently conducts for the DSP satellites.
Ground control of the HEO sensors is currently performed by the 11th SWS in the Mission Control Station Backup (MCSB) at Schriever AFB, CO.
The ground architecture also consists of the Interim MCSB (IMCSB) in Boulder, CO, Relay Ground Stations (RGS) located around the world and a Mobile Ground System (MGS). The SBIRS Survivable Endurable Evolution (S2E2) will replace the MGS.
The US Army's in-theater Joint Tactical Ground Stations (JTAGS) units, which currently receive and process DSP data, will be transitioned to receive and process SBIRS sensor data.

Okay, let's dissect what the clever speechwriters and Puppet President stated"And there's the official White house story...
He didn't say the Russians launched it or even the Rebels launched it... So it could of been one of many numerous groups; CIA, Mossad, Blackwater, Maidan, YAT's secret ops... etc. This how they get away with making deceitful statement.President Barack Obama today said without hesitation that the missile that shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was launched from within territory controlled by pro-Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine.
This so vague... sources of detection have not disclosed for validity and a heat/IR signature detected/launch can also be from an Air to Air missile.While he didn’t go into the sources the US used to pinpoint the launch, early reports say that US intelligence had identified the infrared signature of a missile launch just before contact with the airliner was lost.
Yep, Kerry says nothing... his words/messages are for 10 year olds.Interesting. IIRC, John Kerry claimed that the US had satellite images proving it was the separatists that fired the missile. This source claims that the analysis is not complete or definitive yet.
Where's big mouth Colin Powell and his surveillance pictures? lolThe dog-not-barking question on the catastrophe over Ukraine is: what did the U.S. surveillance satellite imagery show?

Many nations have the data, no one is sharing the truth. You know the NRO had many of their instruments, a slew of technologies, tasked/Delta-V'd on watching every bit of eastern Ukraine/Russia... this is Kerry-Nuland-Arseniy "Yats" Yatsenyuk, Jane Harmon, CFR's started war and they should be held completely responsible.Yes, there are limitations to what U.S. spy satellites can see. But the Buk missiles are about 16 feet long and they are usually mounted on trucks or tanks.

Another day, more media blaming Russia, no true evidence, just speculation and blaming Putin. How come one is blaming Victoria Nuland, Jeffery Pyatt, Yats, the Department of State, CIA, Blackwater/XE/Academa? Their responsible for all of this in the first place. Why haven't they been charged? BTW, where is Robert Kagan's wife, she was so confident of herself when planning the overthrow of the Ukrainian government, and now?So why hasn't this question of U.S. spy-in-the-sky photos -- and what they reveal -- been pressed by the major U.S. news media?
