The whole route of the BUK launcher from Russia to a field in Ukraine, and back to Russia, has been conclusively established, some of it using pictures on social media and data from cell phone towers. Good overview video produced by the JIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf6gJ8NDhYA In particular see this use of lines of position to determine the launch location, based on pictures of the missile trail and witness statements: https://youtu.be/Sf6gJ8NDhYA?t=7m8s Here's an overview of the state of the investigation: https://www.politie.nl/en/news/2016/september/28/jit-flight-mh17-was-shot-down-by-a-buk-missile-from-a-farmland-near-pervomaiskyi.html Luc
