:: MiG-21 Flight Data Recorder & Camera ::

[Trailer23]

Though that are many articles and news feeds going about, however, I haven't read one that breaks down and raises a number of issues we've been going at here on Pakistan Defence for days.

Surprisingly, neither of us have so far focused on the Flight Data Recorder of the MiG-21 (Bison) which was piloted by Wng Cmdr Abhinandan Varthaman.

Below is part of an article that was published in the Asia Times on the 5th of March.

“It is true that the MiG-21 pilot would have had made some recordings of the air engagement, both audio and video,” a former IAF fighter pilot said on condition of anonymity. “Right from the 1970s, MiG-21s had cameras in the gun and missile pods. Any launch is recorded and if there are any ‘kills’ it should have been recorded. This should also be available in the on-board avionics. But the Pakistanis have it now,” he said.

“However, even a radio transmission, as well as data from the Airborne Early Warning (AEW) that had taken off when the first PAF fighters were detected, should have some data, including the loss of a radar blip, if the MiG-21 had shot it down. Even Wing Commander Abhinandan’s radio transmissions should be available and we can check them to see if he did report a ‘kill’ before going down,” the Indian fighter pilot said.

Thanks for bringing up the issue. India cannot claim any kill from Mig-21 all the missiles on the mig-21 has been recovered and none was used by Abhi none done. We have more than enough evidence to call Modi's bluff.

Yes,that will indeed prove jf 17 shot down a mig 21 and it was not a ground to air missile or malfunction

Yes they have cameras but who needs camera when you have a talking Abhi none done. You want me to post a pic with a cup of tea?
BVR engagements are not recorded on cameras.

gun camera is only for WVR fight not for BVR attack and those for SAMs or Malfunction you're just assuming baseless your IAF clearly said Mig-21 was shot down and one pilot was missing, you're are humiliated too much, get some shame @Rollno21

Obviously, a vedic fighter cant be shot down. It was a technical fault.

Yeah you guys have a lot of those don't you, considering your chopper went down after malfunctioning about the same time Abhinandan's plane malfunctioned.

yes both mig-21 malfunctioned and mi-17 all within span of couple of minutes. If it did then that solves PAF's problem, every time IAF flies it will crash itself.
