The air tragedy of the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 of flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur that was hit by a missile over the Ukraine has shocked the world. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reportedly intercepted phone calls made immediately after the crash. It identifies the calls as being between Russian military intelligence officers and Russian-backed Cossack militants to the Kiev post.

The first one was made 20 minutes after the crash and allegedly features Igor Bezler, a Russian military intelligence officer and commander of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s republic speaking with a colonel in the Russian Federation armed forces, Vasili Geranin.

They reportedly say “holy s***” when they realize their error.

The transcripts:

Igor Bezler: We have just shot down a plane. Group Minera. It fell down beyond Yenakievo (Donetsk Oblast).
Vasili Geranin: Pilots. Where are the pilots?
Igor Bezler: Gone to search for and photograph the plane. Its smoking.
Vasili Geranin: How many minutes ago?
Igor Bezler: About 30 minutes ago.

The next part of the conversation took place after they realized that they had shot down a civilian plane.

‘Major’: These are Chernukhin folks who shot down the plane. From the Chernukhin check point. Those cossacks who are based in Chernukhino.
‘Grek’: Yes, Major.
‘Major’: The plane fell apart in the air. In the area of Petropavlovskaya mine. The first ‘200’. We have found the first ‘200’ – which is code for a civilian.
‘Grek’: Well, what do you have there?
‘Major’: In short, it was 100 percent a passenger (civilian) aircraft.
‘Grek’: Are many people there?
‘Major’: Holy sh__t! The debris fell right into the yards (of homes).
‘Grek’: What kind of aircraft?
‘Major’: I haven’t ascertained this. I haven’t been to the main sight. I am only surveying the scene where the first bodies fell. There are the remains of internal brackets, seats and bodies.
‘Grek’: Is there anything left of the weapon?
‘Major’: Absolutely nothing. Civilian items, medicinal stuff, towels, toilet paper.
‘Grek’: Are there documents?
‘Major’: Yes, of one Indonesian student. From a university in Thompson.
