Oops! Thx, nachiketji.
No offence, Gp.Capji. Based on your assessment of the AM, I have to convey concern about the genesis and content of that article. Wonder if someone could discreetly point the AM's attention to the article: he may not be aware of what came out of the interview. Interesting reaction may ensue. But in any event, we simply call these things as we see them, absolutely no reflection on the postors/sources, just on the logic and facts cited. We do try to scan and absorb all available facts and remember a good bit - of course with total absence of bias
But regardless of who says what, if it don't make sense, we say so. Even if it means going in the face of esteemed and feared Moderator/Predator Mullahs such as Mullah Nairgolis.
Take away the bit about the ECM pod being outside vs. inside (which is quasi-technical and the sole reason for ascribing "authenticity", and compare the rest of the article to the narrative from Pakistan / certain desperate Indian political parties /discredited "expert commentators". Ppl can see what we mean.
BTW, to answer the pooch about Official Announcement of the cause of the MiG crash - one "Fellow Pilot" etc came on early and gave a detailed account of the dogfight with terms such as "WingOver..."
. The gist was that he claimed that an expert pilot, having seen his missile hit home, was in such fear of going another 500 m into Pakistan that he then pulled up so hard that he stalled his inlet and engine!!!!! And could not figure out how to recover from that despite some 15K feet altitude.
And then concluded by blaming that on ancient engines and aircraft due to (certain political parties) and wondered about the happy state if that had been an Imported Rafale instead (also delayed by same political party).
We dismissed that too: Using combat occurrences to push cheap political points immediately discredited that Twit. But we do point to the fact that (s)he too accepted the narrative that no missile hit the MiG.
