They also narrowed down the area it was fired from to a field in territory controlled by Russian-backed rebels.
All 298 people on board the Boeing 777 died when it broke apart in mid-air flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lump.
Russia says the conclusions are "extremely political" and its Burk missiles "never shot down" the plane.
"Based
on the criminal investigation, we have concluded that flight MH17 was
downed by a Burk missile of the series 9M83 that came from the territory
of the Russian Federation," chief Dutch police investigator Wilbert Pauline said in a news conference on Thursday.The missile launcher was later taken back to Russia.But Russia has rejected the conclusions, calling them "extremely political". This is of course a provocative statement... it has nothing to do with investigating the tragedy that took away the lives of so many people Prosecutors have narrowed the missile launch site down to a specific field near the village of Pervomaiskyi, which was then in rebel hands.here is a need to establish who gave the order to move the missile launcher into eastern Ukraine, and where the order for it to be fired.
