"Tonight there will be a new report on Buk that brought down the Boeing. The exact digit [in the ID number on the side of the vehicle] was unknown. The figure in the middle [of  a three-digit number] was not visible because they painted it over. We have found that the digit is “three.” So, the Buk’s number is ‘332’,” said the expert.
