#1 I get the 24s and especially 25s, but a 22? Interesting, is the site saying that the pic of the SAM system is what they used to get the 22?

#2 The text says that for some unknown reason the aircraft dropped from 12,000 meters to 4,000 meters before it was shot down. The platform used was the 9K33 Osa (SA-8A "Gecko")

#3 The foto is of the 9A310-1 "BUK" missile AKA the SA-11, not the same missile or launcher

#4 Thanks bad.
Well whatever the reason for descending, I guess the crew didn't know it would backfire.
