within about 100 meters of the aircraft and detonate and spray out shrapnel all over the side of the aircraft. if they can find out what that was, they can match that to the type of war head explosive. what you re talking about is a war head that explodes, sends out sharapnel and disanables th aircraft, rips it apart and we re seeing large pieces of the aircraft. it s not something that completely disintegrated. the war head explodes in the proximity and shoots out all this shrapnel and that s why you re seeing the aircraft breaking up but not necessarily exploding. lieutenant colonel, good to have you on. go to jim and phil were mentioning, we got new information from a senior obama administration official who tells us they do in fact believe they transferred, the weapon was transferred into eastern ukraine from russia in recent days or
party but had strong words for his russian counter part. the violence taking place there is facilitated in part in large part because of russian support and they have the ability to move those separatists in a different direction. if mr. putin makes a decision that we are not going to allow heavy armorments, and the flow of fighters into ukraine across the ukrainian russia boarder, then it will stop. the ukrainian government continues to blame both russia and separatists for the incident calling it an act of terrorism in releasing audio recordings intercepted they say from rebels talking about taking down an aircraft just after the plane crashed.

that the aircraft most likely to some to a very significant degree broke up in the skies overhead showering this wide area with the wreckage you see behind me and many bodies we see here, as well, anderson. and there is no attempt at this point to actually or no capabilities, really, at this point to try to deal with and preserve and bring dignity to those who have died, correct? reporter: very limited capability, certainly. i can t comment on what extent there is motivation. we don t see a great deal of it at the moment. you re right. most many of the bodies we see are still effectively lying where they were thrown from the wreckage, as you say, some of them have been marked or their locations marked with white cloth and that s it. we re told that some recovery operation has begun to some degree. we don t know how long it will take. the emergency workers we ve been
stands out, what you see behind me, these big pieces of wreckage that really represent the catastrophe that took place over the skies more than 24 hours ago. the sheer force responsible for tearing apart the aircraft but then you look closer into the fields, the very wide open fields in this area or among the tall grass and see evidence of the human costs. there are still so many bodies lying here, lying in the grass and they do not look like they are about to be moved in the near future. there is something of an operation to at least identify the locations of some of them. they are marked with small white flags or white clothes but speaking to the emergency workers here, they say it s not going to happen quickly and indeed, they think someone else has to come in to do it. they don t see it as their job specifically there is clearly a big question mark over if and when, first of all, any sort of substantial investigation can get underway here and of course, when these bodies can be tre
you know, a particular weapon system to this crash, or do you need the actual radar that s on the weapon system? well, yes, you can, is the short answer. the war head will be the key here and that s why they need access to this site, fairly quickly so they can check the residue on that aircraft. this was a proximity fused war head. so it would approach within 100 meters and detonate. if they can find out what that was, they can match that to the type of war head, the explosive. what you re really talking about is a war head that explodes, sends out shrapnel, it s not something that completely it s not a strike. the war head explodes in the proximity and shoots out all
