German Pilot Claim: Air To Air Attack Brought Down MH17 – Credible?
Freedom Outpost
Peter Haisenko, a German aviation expert made a claim yesterday that air-to-air fire brought down MH17.
As a lay person, it’s easy to be persuaded by such arguments. Moreover, even if Haisenko is an aviation expert, one has to wonder about his munitions expertise.
I have some questions later, but first let’s take a look at some images and a translation of Haisenko’s thesis.
Haisenko provides this High-Res Image of MH17 Cockpit.

Haisenko Notes
- Cockpit shows traces of shelling, clean round hole, about 30 mm caliper.
- Some holes are bent inward, some outward
- Rivets bent outward
- Moreover, small cuts can be seen, all bent outward, which hint at the fact that fragments have penetrated the outer hull from the inside of the cockpit.

Bullet Holes in Shell
Now the Controversy
The rest of what Haisenko has to say is quite controversial. Here is my modified translation (corrections welcome).
So what can be happening? Russia has published radar recordings, that show at least one Ukrainian SU-25 in close proximity of MH17. This corresponds with the statement of the lost Spanish controller who claims to have seen two Ukrainian fighter aircraft in the immediate vicinity of MH17.
