This brings up an interesting point....
It's entirely possible that the rebels do have BUK missile launchers. They've taken over a area and what ever weapons they found in that area they might have control of now.
However, the BUK missile system is not that is simple to use. It's not "drive the truck (tank) to a location and push a button". There is tracking systems, command and control, fueling... It takes some training. It's possible that some of the Rebels are from the Ukrainian military, and might just have such training, but I find it highly unlikely that rebels were able to pull this off.
And if that is the case.... Then it means the Russian or the Ukrainians did this.
