PAF fighter jet shot down IAF MI-17 on 27th Feb 2019

They were under PAF AWACS range and they still have Mig-21 flight recorder which has all that information.
Mig-21 FR does not store time like all other 70s era FRs.
Only AWACs flying at 50K ft can peer beyond Pir Panjal due to doppler notch, Erieye can't fly at 50,000 ft.
 
There are some mysteries that never die. And downing of this Mi-17 is one of them. But I wonder most about the whereabouts of the second Indian pilot. India is not asking for him and neither is Pakistan talking about him.

IAF Mig-21 FR does not uses 1970s technology. All of IAF mig-21 fleet received upgraded FRs.

here is old soviet mig-21 FR

now compare it with IAF MIG FR.

pir panjal elevation ranges from 5,000 to 14,000 feet. saab-200 even at 20,000 feet from 100KM away is good enough to get srinagar coverage.

Pakistan’s mountainous terrain, especially in the north, reduces the coverage available from ground-based radars, so AEW aircraft can be used as gap-fillers.

their is no second pilot. villagers had mistaken mig-21 ejection seat parachute for another pilot.

I must appreciate their bluff game. It's very strong. But you have successfully debunked it.
 
thats because they were being jammed.
exactly, and here you answered your own question.
PAF not only jammed their voice communications but also data link.
The Spyder unit commander had no communication and thought that all IAF bases have been bombed by PAF.
Plus the IFF beacon also is a radio transmitter and the wide bandwidth PAF was jamming that day, may also have disrupted IFF transmission and reception.

All command centers & ammunition storage centers have sam coverage anywhere & everywhere in the world. indian military proves to be only that much more incompetent if it didn't...
I am ROFL at your Display picture :lol:

bombed by one helicopter? Like I said, spyder can see what type of aircraft is flying regardless if its being jammed or not.
 
A missile does what it is told to do .

You are assuming too much

listen, spyder tells you the type of aircraft in this case it would have been mi-17 and they cant be that stupid to shoot down a helicopter knowing that their is no way in the world an enemy heli can travel this far in middle of what could have been a war.
