Egy horvát pilóta szerint csak a felderítőgép önmegsemmisítő rendszere aktiválódott, nem "támadó bomba" volt.
The legendary pilot of the Croatian Air Force, retired Brigadier
Ivan Selak , commented for
N1 on the statement of the Minister of Defense
Mario Banožić that fragments of an air bomb were found in the drone that crashed in Zagreb on Friday night.
- I'll try to explain. I am almost certain that the remains of the air bomb were not found. So these fragments of an air bomb, I don't believe they exist. Fragments of explosives and fragments of the rest of the explosion exist. Why? It is an aircraft that is a reconnaissance drone from the 80s of the last century. That spacecraft owns what he owned and the plane I flew. There is an explosive that will destroy those data that I do not want my opponent to see if that aircraft falls uncontrollably into some territory. This explosive is not activated if the aircraft falls in a controlled manner. She falls in a controlled way, the parachutes are open, she falls slowly to the ground. This was an uncontrolled fall, the parachutes did not manage to open, they literally exploded, separated and she fell to the ground at high speed. Identical to such a system possesses the MiG-21 on which I flew. This system was used for interception in the air, it received data from officers from the ground, coded data that was displayed on the instruments in the cabin. In case you were hit over enemy territory, that you had to leave the plane for some reason, before catapulting, on the right was a switch with a red security that could destroy the encrypted link. The link would be destroyed by itself, but to be sure, you should have destroyed it before catapulting. It is a story from the Second World War with a German submarine in the middle of the ocean when someone forgot to destroy the Enigma, a device for encrypting data - explains Selak that you have to leave the plane for some reason, before the catapult, on the right was a switch with a red security that could destroy the encrypted link.

- To be clear, I don't see what kind of fool would put a bomb in this spacecraft. If, to clarify, you take out of this spacecraft equipment for reconnaissance, detection, interference, for anything, instead you can put such a heavy amount of explosives. And that some jerk would put an aviation bomb there now… You can, theoretically, put explosives, but if he was really inside… Today there wouldn't be half a wing of a student dormitory in that street - Selak thinks.
- It is not the minister who needs to know the caliber of the cannon on my plane. He is not the one who needs to know the initial speed of the grenade fired from the tank. But the minister should have a team around him that knows this, not that he declares on the first day, after the plane fell a few dozen meters from the dormitory, that it is harmless and does not pose a threat. Fortunately, the prime minister denied it yesterday and said it was a clear threat. Well done! And today, the third day after the crash, the minister says that there were even fragments of air bombs inside. So 36 hours ago you said it wasn't a threat, yesterday your boss said it was a threat. Even today… Did he say she was or wasn't? Well, come on, man, get settled, do that job or ... I don't want to pretend what President Milanović is saying now - Selak emphasized
According to Selak, it is not at all a question of who launched the spacecraft.
- For me, the problem is why this aircraft passed through the NATO integrated airspace system over NATO countries. The 14.3-meter-long fighter-sized aircraft passed. Imagine a Russian KH-22 to KH-90. Missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles armed with explosives are generally twice as short as this missile. What would those of you who did twice as little reflection do to us? What is the protection of airspace over NATO countries? - retired Brigadier Ivan Selak
