The reason for this is simple. Both the US and Russia have the technology to track all missile launches from around the world. Both of them have exactly the same data set of when the missile went up, where it was fired from (which was a separatist held area). They know how fast it was travelling, its trajectory, and exactly where in space and time it exploded. The US has confirmed all of this, and Russia will have exactly the same data from their ground scanners and satellites, as this was one of the things that formed the basics of the Cold War.
Interesting Keith!
