Are fighter R/T comms conducted in the clear ? I thought they are encrypted. I can somewhat understand commercial aviation airband traffic being in the clear, but I'm surprised that AF comms are also in clear that Pakis can decode it. Its psyops... Message being that "We can decrypt your comms...

Punjabi speakers (hold your puke at the bigoted introduction) and confirm what this guy says at 2 min onwards.

Video uploaded 27 Feb

Says 2 pilots..

1st one landed 15 min after his plane fell.. and Pak Army got to him immediately

2nd one was one with mooch (Abhi)

Rishi

Time to lock thread ?

Rishi

Isn't that "Hassan Siddiqui" recording is fake / psyops?

Rishi

Shahbaz is supposedly in the US in Alabama (AFB Maxwell, Montgomery) doing some course (as per Pak source on AFM forum who even posted a photo before deleting it). FWIW.

Sameer Joshi is supposed to be writing a follow up article on Medium apparently.

Rishi

Karan M wrote:Even Sameer Joshi indicates its this gent.

Not anymore. Now his guess is that it is S/L Hasan Siddique, who, unlike "Nouman", has not been seen since Feb 27 on media. Nouman has been seen with the Pak CAS and in their Pak day video.

Ok Ramana-ji.

Repeating.. what type of explosion would

1. Shear off the tail portion
2. Pepper tail with shrapnel
3. And rest of fuse seems without shrapnel

Rishi

thanks rishi the image i saw had the tail still with the fuselage but flopped over onto the side, so sheared off on ground impact not in the air, and the whole fin not a portion as here the pic above suggests damage to control mechanisms and possibly rear sections of engine by missile, and looks li...

Thanks Rishi. Markings and screws appear consistent with Bison tail. http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Galleries/Aircraft/Walkarounds/MiG21Bison/Bison12.jpg.html So Tail has been blown off. Other video had a stabilizer (port side) in some other location. So plane glided with only one stabilizer? IM...

Rishi

AIM120 has an 18.1kg high-explosive blast fragmentation warhead. (Different from the continuous rod warhead in R73)

However, would Fragmentation warhead cause shearing off of the tail portion from the fuse?

Brof UB, is this the one?

Rishi

UB, One thing I don't understand is how is Abhinandan with minor scratches after the AMRAAM hit the MiG-21 with a 40 lbs warhead? Is the MiG-21 structure so robust that it absorbed all shock from the explosion? Could the missile hit the MiG-21 after it flamed out and Abhi ejected? I asked this of T...

Its different from IAF map which shows opposite

Abhi was pretty equidistant from all 3 F16s?

Rishi

Pakpasand journo Alan Warnes on twitter said he interviewed Pak CAS who officially puts in a claim of an MKI hit

Rishi

Wait which F16 did he shoot? The ones at 40k or the one at 15k? There is a 4 ship and a 2 ship F16 formation. Which one became the 3 ship formation we see in the radar grab?

Rishi

Do pentagon/LM officials go around like Bangalore RTO cops and check chassis numbers below the windscreen? What kind of a crap job it that?

Wait, then do they do the same for all Amreki eqpt with IAF as well?

could perhaps not be one person, but a "collective" tasked to say things that GOI does not want to put press releases on. GOI, had better ways to do this. They can leak information to some friendly reporter and they will report that “sources said...”. If you go back in time, sometimes bab...

He is surrounded by PA jawans. One can think locals might mistake own guy. Jawans mostly won't. And the pilot died - this guy looks fine.

More than the jet, if pilot has died it needs to be covered up. This can be done by any aircraft type crash. US will help Pak cover up the F16 loss. Our guys should leak it out and make them publically disrespect a dead warrior by spouting their lies ("Passed away in unfortunate car accident.....

Rishi

Very soon expect the PAF to put out news that an F-16 has crashed during a “training” exercise and the pilot/pilots were killed. :x . They won’t accept that it was shot down. A “crash” is how they will try to cover it up so that they can account for the lost F-16 :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Nah.....
