I have no inside information. It always felt unlikely to me that the flight was in the Indian Ocean. I never understood how authorities were going all over the globe based on what looked like shoddy and contradictory information which they never explained clearly. Was there a darker agenda, or were they just that incompetent?
Two theories: one, the flight was shot down by mistake, perhaps during a training exercise, and it was covered up. Two: the Russians did it to divert attention and resources when they planned to invade Ukraine. The Russians are the only ones who have benefited from this. Putin is thought to have done false flag operations in the past as the Director of the KGB where he killed his own people. The other possibilities are that something just malfunctioned and it went down, or it was hijacked, or it was hijacked and then there was a malfunction. I don't believe that someone just wanted a free plane or was after the cargo or the passengers for some reason. Of course, if the passengers were the tech experts it was said they were were designing radar and stuff, the Russians would benefit from their disappearance. That could have been a side benefit.
I'm not saying the Russians did this, I'm just saying it's a theory. All the theories are possible right now, for me.
What do you think? Do you have any good sources on this?
