It can be a conspiracy by Ukraine's government (with some possible help from some foreign intelligence advisors) to discredit pro-Russian faction. Or idiots in pro-Russian faction that didn't confirm or were mislead about the target (like someone falsely hinting them about the plane) before shooting it down. I wonder why all those people state it as if they know the truth already. If it is not propaganda at work then I don't know what is.
