Actually there was a post in the Internet where a guy who has headed the Ukrainian rebels wrote that Cossacks (the rebels) had took down a military aircraft (they though so). After that the message was removed, but the Internet remembers it all:
If you ask where Cossacks got that BUK, just watch
the movie. If you ask who has trained them to use it, I'll say: the army. Everybody in the USSR (actually even now in Russia and the Ukraine) had to serve in army. Someones were paratroopers or marines, while others were operators of BUK, S-300 or Satan nuke launchers. Course the Ukrainian rebels were able to find the guys who can use it, but a single unit w/o a "купол" system was unable to recognize a civilian airplane. That was a real fuckup.
