Sir do consider the possibility that maybe you and @Windjammer BOTH are right?
The def sec, when he made the statement "assumed" that the aircraft was an irrecoverable loss, but a detailed technical analysis later, proved that it could be salvaged after all?
This articles that only 1 AWAC was destroyed but the authorities lied about it... (It's an old article),
While the last Modp categorically states that the AWAC which was supposedly destroyed (beyond repair) was repaired by PAC at half the cost.
The officer I met back than lead the QRF team that engaged the terrorists from reaching other aircrafts and exterminated them .. He was later decorated for his actions and was called to speak on security at a military installation ... According to him only 1 AWAC was badly damaged and another suffered minor damages (bullets to the plane body)..
Apart from me @Windjammer. has confirmed that from his sources.
