Explanation damaged recorder Su-24 will require the help of scientists – RIA Novosti

MOSCOW, December 21 – RIA Novosti. of the memory module chips onboard recorder downed Turkish Air Force in Syria Russian Su-24M bomber appeared badly damaged, and can not yet be considered to have the information. Need help Russian research institutions, the progress of decoding is quite lengthy, said Monday at a briefing deputy head of the Security Service operations of the Armed Forces, Lieutenant-General Sergey Bajnetov.

Progress in deciphering has not caused any comments invited foreign observers noted Bajnetov .

The Russian Su-24 was shot down on November 24 Turkish F-16s over the Syrian territory and fell four kilometers from the border with Turkey. Russian President Vladimir Putin called it a “stab in the back by the accomplices of the terrorists.” Ankara argues that the Su-24 entered its airspace. Russian General Staff, said that the plane did not cross the border, it is confirmed by the data of the Syrian air defenses.

On board recorder Su-24 was opened on Friday by specialists in the laboratory of the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC), the work was broadcast on live television. From the recorder specialists removed the memory module. It was noted that the board of the module are damaged, it was decided to hold their further study.

comments were

International observers have not raised any issues with the recorder, he said at the beginning of the briefing Bajnetov.

“The work carried out in the presence of international observers – Senior Engineer Research Institute of the Air Force of the People’s Liberation Army of China Liu Chanveya, adviser to the general director of the company,” Gates Aviation limeted “citizen of the UK Mr Jonathan Gillespie, representatives of the International Society of Air Safety Investigators accidents (ISASI), citizens of the United States of America Mr. Frank Del Gandhi and Mr. Ronald Shlid Lloyd “- said Bajnetov.

According to the general, in the process of work with the recorder was also attended by the chief of flight safety and flight tests of “Moscow Helicopter Plant”, the work carried out under the supervision of members of the commission to investigate the accident specialist manufacturer together with representatives of the IAC.

Serious damage

Bajnetov told that the case of “black box” is seriously damaged. “It was found that the drive housing has a penetrating mechanical damage to the inner container, an electric tow emergency switching drive from the aircraft interrupted,” – he said.

Last weekend, the commission of inquiry, experts of IAC and the manufacturer of the recorder Smolensk of “meter” survey was conducted memory boards and chips emergency onboard storage.

The general said that the X-ray control, made in the laboratory IAC 13 showed destruction of the 16 memory chips. The other three circuits are damaged, two of them are faulty.

“chip with serial number BDD5 can be in good condition, as unambiguous damage its internal components in the X-ray image can not be seen,” – said the general.

But while “extract” the information will not be possible.

“There is a technique, using standard equipment manufacturer of” meter “and the Interstate Aviation Committee, recovery and read the flight information with chips currently not possible because of internal injuries, “- said Bajnetov.

need help and time

In order to continue the work required as a force outside experts, and the time said Bajnetov.

“worked out by the Commission to investigate the issue of attracting specialized research institutions who are able to read information directly from the crystal chip,” – he said.

“To accomplish this work, unfortunately, require quite a long time, everything will be done for its successful implementation,” – said the general. The results will be regularly disclosed to the public, he added Bajnetov.

With regard to the possible timing of decryption, then it could take six months, said Honored Pilot of the Russian Federation, Major-General Vladimir Popov.

“If we manage to extract the information from the black box, we can simulate the flight of the Su-24, as it is now talk in 3D: to reconcile the flight path to the smallest details, “- said Popov, the TV channel LifeNews.
