    I wonder if the target can be changed mid-air.


    I doubt it. But, from what I heard of - the rocket can be destroyed by a signal from the ground.

    What happens when if BUK is shot towards friendly target... does it seek unfriendly target from the area instead?


    The question is - can BUK be shot towards friendly target... But nevertheless:

    1. The whole BUK system consists of four vehicles: The launcher, the supply vehicle, the radar vehicle and the command vehicle.
    2. The "friend or foe" recognition is done by the command vehicle
    3. The launcher can operate standalone (it has its own radar), but its capabilities are crippled
    4. It's highly unlikely the separatists get hold of/were trained enough to operate the whole system, probably what they got was the launcher alone.
