And then add to that, MKI - an aircraft that flies without MAWS, belly-danced its way and dodged out 4-5 AMRAAMs. Truly inspiring stuff.

They’ve still to answer to the fact … as to how did they even manage to locate the AMRAAM fired.. given the terrain unless they exactly knew where it went. :P

As for MKI.. From Asian Raptor to Asian Dodger. :)

few questions rises here
  • If the SU-30 crashed while trying to land at the airfield then why was the heli flown out of srinagar?
  • Most likely the Amraam hit the SU-30 over hilly area and the wreckage of the missile would be found there, if the SU was able to reach back to the airfield, how come was IAF able to find the wrecked AMram so quickly

Srinagar is only 10 miles away from Avantipur. Most probably choppers were scrambled from both the bases. The one from Srinagar got shot down so we heard about it.

There was news from India that a major search was undertaken for AMRAAM wreckage. You can Google it.

Although i recognised Nauman Ali instantly but I have been told that one of these other pilots currently in Saudi Arab for an exercise is OC N0-5 Squadron, Wing Commander Tariq Waheed who was also in the thick of Swift Retort, he was flying as the wing man to Nauman Ali and squarely had Abhinandan's wing man locked but he bugged out leaving his leader to enjoy his tea alone.

The answer to the first question will explain everything. I wonder if anyone could put together information such as where Abhi crashed, where the heli crashed, and what were the timings, then we could discuss it more. What we know so far for sure is that IAF CAS was launched. It could have been for the SU-30 crash, it could have been for injured SU-30, CAS launched in advance (many nations do this). In a really weird scenario, the CAS could have also been launched for the MIG that they were hoping would make it to IOK. There is also the 4th even weirder option, it was launched in confusion, the confusion could be anything including a mix of the above. There were many holes in their C&C that day.

The second question: the question assumes that the wreckage of AIM should be found near the wreckage of Su30. It doesn't have to, depending on the height and speed with which it hit, would determine its trajectory. Where as jets can in many cases fly on for quite a lengthy time after being hit before crashing.
