No, you are wrong again. Some of these BUK missiles have a range of 50 km. Thus, it could be 25 km inside of Russia and hit a plane 25 km inside of Ukraine. If you want to technical about it, Russia could have shot down the plane 50 km inside of Ukraine.

Also, we don't know exactly where the plane was shot down. It was shot down "near the Russian border" which is a bit vague. Maybe it was 40 km from the Russian border, shot down by Russian forces inside of Russia....

I had originally said "it could be Russia who snuck a launcher into Ukrainian territory." is not wrong at all. Great, we have proof Rebels (separatists, whatever) have the BUK missiles but that surely doesn't mean Russian didn't take down this plane.
