Just quoting the 'experts' from television that whilst the missile was/is quite sophisticated it would not have IFF capabilities.Can someone who knows about this stuff comment on IFF and transponder codes? Would a mobile SAM truck be able to interpret this info ?
And if several Ukranian military flights had been attacked in the week prior; they might not have inclined to show correct info in their transponders, escalating the risk for all flights in the area.
They seem to have settled back to the 27 number with suggestions that the 23 number was out of date information.Last news report the PM said he only knows about 23 Australians onboard but there could be more. Let's hope not.

Very sad to hear this news. RIP for all people on board. Given SQ and AI are in close proximity I can only say that this is very bad luck to MH.

It's a pity the guy who fired the SAM didn't use it before he pulled the trigger
