According to operational data from Information Resistance, at a terrorirst position near the Luhanskairport, from which the Ilyushin IL-76 airplane of the ATO forces was supposedly struck, there were three 9P39-1 launch tubes from MANPADS 9K39 “Igla” [US DoD/ NATO reporting name SA-18 Grouse].

Two “Igla” MANPADS were used and another one malfunctioned (rocket 9M39 remained in the [launch] tube).

Also, empty cans of food, produced by the CJSC “Orelprodukt” located in the city of Mtsensk (Russia), were found on the spot of the terrorist ambush.

While fighting raged in Ukraine, Russia’s Defense Ministry said Thursday its forces were leaving the regions near Ukraine as part of a massive military pullout ordered by President Vladimir Putin. It said four trainloads of weapons and 15 Il-76 heavy-lift transport planes had already left the Belgorod, Bryansk and Rostov regions.

NATO had estimated Russia has 40,000 troops along the border with Ukraine.

Gen. Philip Breedlove, NATO’s supreme commander in Europe, told reporters in Brussels that some Russian military movements had been detected but it was too early to assess their size or importance. He said a very large and capable Russian force still remained close to Ukraine.

In Kiev, Yatsenyuk described Russia’s announcement of troops pull-out as “bluffing.”

“Even if the troops are withdrawing, Russian authorities are still assisting the armed terrorists who were trained in Russia,” he said.
