Moscow (IINA) – Russia said specialists examining the flight data recorder of its fighter jet downed by Turkey on November 24 have found out that 13 of the 16 microchips are hopelessly destroyed while others damaged, according to Russian News Agency TASS.
“One microchip from the Sukhoi-24 black box’s memory module may be in a condition good enough for trying to retrieve data from it,” Sergey Bainetov, the deputy chief of the Russian Air Force’s flight safety service told the media on Monday. According to the Russian official, the black box data cannot be restored by usual methods.
"The existing methods with the use of the organic equipment of the Izmeritel factory and the Interstate Aviation Committee can’t be used at present to restore and read the flight data from microchips due to their internal damage," Bainetov said. "The work with the memory unit on December 19 started with its visual inspection. It was established that the memory unit case has penetrating damage up to the internal container. The container’s electrical cord is broken off," he said, adding that this was the result of the bomber hitting the ground after it was shot down by a missile.
Bainetov also noted that international observers monitoring the study included representatives of China, the United Kingdom and the United States.
