So Tail has been blown off. Other video had a stabilizer (port side) in some other location. So plane glided with only one stabilizer?

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 like rough abdul-handling
Rishi wrote: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

In fact, its so fresh that smoke is still rising from the plane and salwar clad chaps are pouring water on it to douse any remaining fires. Take a look in case something can be known, and please download before its gone..
The IAF has not revealed the name of the security base where Abhinandan has been transferred due to security reasons but the posting is along the Pakistan border in the Western sector and the officer has been cleared to fly the fighter jet again and will be continuing his duties yet again.

There were people recently asking why abhi's wingman did not fire his R-77. an interesting article claiming that 2 years ago a mig 31 got shot down by his wingman when he accidentally strayed into the latter's BVRAAM's firing arc

Residents of Gariend Kalan, where the IAF Mi-17 V-5 crashed, say men in uniform took away parts of the chopper from the crash site and its vicinity.
------------------------
Mohammad Jaffar, 52, was at his shop when he saw, what he described as “a star-like object” hitting the tail of the chopper.
“A fraction of second later there was an explosion. I saw the helicopter descending uncontrollably towards my home that is at the edge of the village,” he said. “I ran towards it and a friend who was talking to me at the moment accompanied me. On our way, I told him that I thought the war had begun.”
He said that he was relieved to find that the chopper had crashed some distance from his home. “God was kind to us but I feel bad for the people who lost their lives in the crash,” Jaffar said. Other villagers too narrated a similar sequence of events.
