Google has updated several areas in Donbas - Ukraine for Google maps and Google Earth (GE). It means (old) battle areas can be found now.
As such the exact location of the IL-76 crash site has been determined:
Google maps link.
As can be seen, a lot of trails are around the area.
One of these trails comes from Lugansk airport:
It can be seen on the June 30th satellite images:
but not on the June 5th images:
When it is followed it leads to the IL-76 crash site.
The IL-76 was shot down by Terrorussians on June 13th. So obviously a tracked vehicle has been sent from Lugansk airport to investigate the site.
The tracks start from this position:
Clearly two fortified (but empty) tank fire positions can be seen, as well as (probably) a BTR between the trees. From here the vehicle has been driving through the fields, starting at the right.
GE also shows some photos from a Panoramio user, among which this one:
It contains a destroyed turret from possible a BTR. The IL-76 was carrying military equipment, but whether it had a BTR is unclear.
Since their is no obvious track back to Lugansk airport, and since the early footage from RT does not show a destroyed turret/vehicle, it may be possible that the/a vehicle sent out to check the crash site was also attacked and destroyed there.
Link to footage of the crash site.
Also see my earlier report about the event.

The tragic downing of a plane full of soldiers 14-6
This morning tragically a big cargo plane was brought down by Russians and 49 people died.
For me the big question is: Why do you send a big clumsy cargo plane to an airfield in the middle of enemy territory, that is known to be freely under attack (by mortars for instance)? Are some people not clearly thinking?
Here you can find the movies and some tweets about the attack:

A father of a slain 25th VDV soldier was emotionless, packed his staff & plans to go East to revenge for his son. #Luhansk #IL76 #Ukraine
