At the moment it is unclear if these fragments are those that Jeroen Akkermans allegedly 'found' at the crash site, which he removed without telling the JIT, had them tested over a period of several months and once the tests showed that they could be from a BUK missile then, and only then, did Akkermans reveal his find.
Apparently it is case closed in the NATO media.
But what's this?
Investigators probing the downing of MH17 flight told RT that they cannot confirm that fragments found in eastern Ukraine are from a Buk missile system, refuting media reports that the parts belong to a Russian surface-to-air complex.
On Tuesday, the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) released a statement saying that it is investigating “several parts, possibly originating from a Buk surface-air-missile system.”
Following the release of the report, numerous media reports indicated that it was a “Russian” or “Russian-made” missile system - something JIT spokesman Wim de Bruin rejected to RT, stressing that “it’s too early to draw any conclusion at this moment.”
He described the whole procedure as a “forensic investigation to establish whether these parts…were parts of a Buk [missile] system or not” and added that it is difficult to set the deadlines for the final report to be presented.
The one thing the JIT is absolutely sure about, de Bruin said, is that “those parts were found in eastern Ukraine.”
JIT said in its statement that “at present the conclusion cannot be drawn that there is a causal connection between the discovered parts and the crash of flight MH17.”
The fragments “possibly” originating from a Buk surface-air-missile system were discovered during a recovery mission in eastern Ukraine and are in possession of the investigators.
Dutch prosecutors say that the parts found at the site “are of particular interest to the criminal investigation as they can possibly provide more information about who was involved in the crash of MH17.”

So any mention in any NATO media of the fragment being from a missile or being Russian is pure propaganda.
All the JIT have said today is that they have some fragments which are being investigated. And they could be from Akkermans (which would be inadmissible in court).
And as for this?
Interview with me on #MH17 and Ukraine - “Russia has openly and repeatedly lied” http://t.co/RYpyggNCni via @thedaynewspaper
— Eliot Higgins (@EliotHiggins) August 11, 20151. Ukraine released a tape cobbled together from several tapes and tried to incriminate Cossacks at Chernukino for shooting down MH17;
2. Naida said the BUK that allegedly shot down MH17 was back in Russia by 0400 at the latest on 18th July 2014, yet Ukraine released a video of a BUK in Luhansk filmed at 0500 on 18th July 2014 claiming that that was the BUK that shot down MH17;
3. when did Ukraine know that the separatists had BUKs?
4. are the claims of Evgeny Agapov true or false?
