This map appears to have been derived from FlightAware data. FlightAware doesn't have any coverage in this area and so these lines are just drawn between where they lost coverage and when they picked it up again. If the MSM (and ZeroHedge) had checked with FlightAware first, then this map - and all its variants - would not be in existence. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-07-17/was-flight-mh-17-diverted-over-restricted-airspace appears to be the source for for this particular map. In answer to their question "Was Flight MH-17 Diverted Over Restricted Airspace?" the answer, really, is No, actually it wasn't (see https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Talk:Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17#Final_minutes_in_the_air).
