Re: MH17 Passenger Jet was shot down by Russia - Dutch Officials say
However, most civil aircraft have a transponder which transmits the aircraft height, speed, altitude, registration and flightnumber on a radio frequency - IFF is just part of a targeting system.
As you say, how could they mistake a civilian airliner for a military target - probably didn't care.
