makes most sense , but still pakistani version .Alright, I went through the DGISPR conference.
Some takeaways from the conference and what I understand -
Conclusion:- It was a test trial, navigation failed and it veered inside Pakistan and crashed. Basically, we fucked up.
- From Kuntal Biswas's analysis, seems like it is indeed BrahMos CM.
- It was initially headed for Mahajan firing range, south of Suratgarh, which might imply it was a routine test-firing.
- The missile took a sharp, abrupt turn after Suratgarh and entered Pakistani territory, and thereafter crashed/hit after some 124 km (potential navigation failure ?).
- The missile was unarmed (without warhead), which further shows it was unlikely a hostile action.
- The drop tank shown, is probably dropped in haste by PAF jets scrambling to intercept it.
yo was a test firing announced ?
they do give out NOTAM for that . right
