This was found from the coordinates given on one of the images released by the Russian MoD at their press conference on 21st July 2014.
The time given is 1132 but no time zone is given.
You will see that in the above photo there are 3 proposed components of the BUK battery. I have also looked on Google Earth at the other sites whose coordinates are given in satellite images presented at that conference and they show activity around 17th July 2014. This one in particular definitely does look like it was a military base around 17th July 2014 on Google Maps.
On 25th July, 4 days after the Russian MoD press conference at which these photos were released, Paris Match published its now infamous photo of a BUK on a red trailer being pulled by that Volvo cabin between Donetsk and Torez.
So my questions are:
1. if in the first photo those units really are components of a BUK battery, and the image was taken on 17th July 2014, then how did they get there and when? Would it be possible to transport them through Donetsk or from the south?
2. if in the first photo that alleged BUK battery was given to the separatists by Russia then would Russia point out their location on 17th July 2014?
3. what did the residents of Zaroshchens'ke, just north of the S bend in the first photo, see on 17th July 2014?
