Ramana , UB watch , AVM KK Nohwar has nicely explained in the video on dog fight
Nice but empty. The Media Announcer and his sidekick are awful! The Air Marshal is nice.
I learned that NVA ground control positioned MiG-21s to present front-on aspect to F-4s (meaning very fast closing speeds). Since mijjiles don't work like that, I assume that they attacked using guns? How that is relevant here I do not know: surely modern F-16 radar (or the Paki AWACs) could see the MiG. Also, the R-73 is called all-aspect, but since the MiG was heading straight for the F-16 that has no meaning here. R-73 is mentioned as close-range which means the MiG caught up with the F-16 by sheer speed and sent the R-73 up its musharraf.
Now for the WingCdr's treatment in Terroristan:
a) So he DID have an injury to his face, eye seems hurt. Now guys, [b]LOOK carefully at the TV performance released by Pakistan: there is no injury on left side of face, certainly not on right[/b. So that speaker is **NOT** Abhinandan. Then it makes no difference WHAT he is said to have said.
b) Air Marshal tut-tutted and nailed home the fact that the Paki Air Marshal's son is kaput, and "by his own people". Injuries inflicted on him by his own people. The other guy is also dead, apparently.
Nothing else in that video, rest is all blah-blah.
Specifically, **NOTHING*** on how the MiG came to get downed. Is India bluntly stating that the MiG was hit by an AMRAAM etc? Did not hear that. If there was a missile strike why is the WCdr not injured much worse?
So our debris-impact theory stands.
If it was Paki missile it was illegal (although arguably defensive if fired on their side of LOC). But there is no evidence that it was a missile hit. We need to hear from the WCDr on what happened. I am sure the Indian AWACs crew knows, and ground controllers know.

Summing up, the Air Marshal seems to have read PeeAref.
