oliver north said last night it takes two years to learn how to use this. is that right? not only that. it is not just using it but it is maintaining it. russian equipment isn t that reliable and the electronics are very sophisticated. the search radar is sophisticated and the radar mounted on the nose of the missile is very complex. you have to have a crew that is able to do search and track, identify the aircraft, go through the launch sequence and fly it. i am sorry, a bunch of separatist are not skilled to do that. the russians are involved in this. russian technology, russian equipment, russian advisorss & training. they can track by laser, radar, heat?
as i listen to this, dan hampton, i m thinking that s about as timid as you can be. now that we know in fact it was the russian separatists that were firing missiles and shooting down crukrainian aircrt for a week and a half. yeah, sean, i don t want to get into barack obama and the white house. he s clearly incompetent and it s a waste of time. okay. what happened today or what happened with the jet, again people are spending a lot of time talking about was it russian, was it russian-backed. you have to remember that ukraine was part of the ussr for the entire time there was a ussr. so finding somebody in a rebel separatist forces that had been trained on this equipment isn t going to be a far stretch. so i don t see any spoking gun there. by the way i was a while weasel, i used to kill sams. this is not that mod earp or sophisticated. the first version came out in the 1980s.

officer, if an effort to identify the speaker. i want to bring in now my panel of experts, michael, retired air force pilot. les, 777 pilot. richard quest, cnn aviation correspondent and mary schiavo, cnn aviation analyst, former transportation department inspector general. we ll have another guest joining us in a bit, rick gillespie. we ll join us in just a bit here. first how mary. how reliable is this information from the chinese boats? the objects and the signal? that s a big unknown. we have no way of knowing how reliable it is. the equipment isn t what you would usually use. the biggest mystery of all, how did they know to look where they re looking? you can theorize perhaps they had their own separate investigation of going on, crunch some numbers, come up with a hypothesis and said we re going to go look ourselves and in which case would probably be pretty reliable. since we don t know any of that,
