Dark clouds in autumn (bottom)

In the millennium, several senior pilots of a German airline collectively disclosed a secret operation half a century ago: at that time, at the request of the CIA and the British MI6, they went to Moscow to bring back German prisoners of war in World War II, and successfully executed the first time. L Aviation, an international flight mission, "deliberately" deviates from the existing flight path on the return flight, at a height of 1,000 meters above the horizontal plane, so that the spy camera mounted on the nose gear can completely capture the entire western Moscow air defense circle. Outlines and layouts for sand table deductions during future air raids.

(Continuing from the above) KAL 007, which could not return safely, under the tense confrontation of the Cold War, even the wreckage was like a needle in a haystack. provocation), which also led to the largest number of victims. More than 100 citizens (82 passengers, 23 crew members) of South Korea, whose life and death were uncertain, spontaneously launched a fierce anti-Soviet protest movement, and the Blue House (Presidential Palace) also officially came forward to condemn, even Even NATO, Japan, and Australia used diplomatic rhetoric to criticize the Soviet Communist Party's unruly counterattacks...

However, the Eastern European countries in the Iron Curtain camp are naturally not to be outdone, and have used the self-protection of their own territory and the avoidance of invasion as an excuse! The war of words between the two sides through the international media has intensified, almost like the situation where the Allies and the Allies fought each other in the past... But now it is no longer a bayonet confrontation of chivalry, but the arrows of the nuclear bomb and the hydrogen bomb switch!

In addition, shortly after the air crash, South Korea also focused on the Soviet telegram that the passenger plane landed safely on Sakhalin Island. Countries with more victims, such as South Korea, decided to form a joint search and rescue team and assembled on the high seas to prepare for possible rescue work... But at this moment, the Soviet government has dispatched various warships, armed with live ammunition, to obstruct it! The Soviet General Staff preempted through the voice channel of the United Nations: KAL 007 is a US military reconnaissance aircraft disguised as a civil aircraft. Since the US dared to invade the Soviet airspace, there is a risk of being shot down!

In the face of this major air disaster, especially the man-made and deliberate air disaster tragedy, the UN Security Council immediately made an important resolution condemning the Soviet Union; So I used the "veto" without a doubt, and the United Nations' accusations, in black and white, were at best just a piece of waste paper that couldn't be sent... for a lunch box or a sandwich?

Back to the main line of the air accident, a few hours after leaving Anchorage, what happened in the cockpit of KAL 007 or the captain himself? This question that may never be answered, from the 1980s to today, no matter after the end of the Cold War, the disintegration of the Soviet Union and other key moments, has always been the focus of flight fans, history control, and even conspiracy theorists. topic……

Although a certain detective Edogawa-kun often said that "there is only one truth", but looking at the long history, often the powerful or the winners, in order to create a "false truth" to be passed down to future generations, instead cover up more "truths" that cannot be seen. The truth of "… We take the accident of Korean Air KAL 007 as an example, there are at least three theories.

First, the captain made a mistake. On the tenth anniversary of the air crash, with the disintegration of the various communist regimes within the Iron Curtain, the Russian government publicly admitted to holding and returned the "black box", and handed it over to an impartial third-party scientific research unit for interpretation. After Anchorage took off, the captain did not actually execute (forgot?) the standard flight mode, and changed the HDG (magnetic heading, magnetic azimuth) mode to INS mode (inertial navigation system), resulting in the aircraft's position deviating from the normal course all the time, resulting in An irreversible blunder.

Dispute: From Anchorage to Seoul (Seoul), there will be nine Waypoints along the way, which are equipped with radio beacons for aircraft positioning; there are also multiple radar stations along the way, from Alaska to Hokkaido, there are civil aviation and military use , directly monitor the flight routes of various aircraft. If there is a serious deviation, it should be notified or reminded, but in addition to the lack of warnings from the ground, the KAL015 using the same route (R20) even took off from the rear. Didn't realize that the friend plane was already hundreds of miles away...

Furthermore, it is about saving fuel. Since Korean Air’s position in air transportation was more inclined to low-cost (non-low-cost) airlines, many pilots were bold and daring under the thinking of “saving fuel is the captain’s mission”. The Asian and American transcontinental routes will choose to fly in the north (closer to the Soviet Union), and shorten the gap between the straight-line distance and the route distance as much as possible, but may accidentally cross the red line and enter the Cape of Terror...

Dispute: In April 1978, a Boeing 707 aircraft of the same Korean Air, numbered KAL902 , was going to transfer from Paris to Anchorage for refueling. Breaking into the Soviet airspace... With the passenger plane ignoring the warning of expulsion or landing issued by the Soviet fighters (huh?) , KAL902 was shot in the left wing, and two passengers (South Korean and Japanese nationals) died on the spot. Lake Piavi (Korpijärvi Lake, 32 km from the Finnish border)…

The cost of the wrong four-hour arctic flight was the Soviet Union's claim to the South Korean government for a "passenger care fee" of US$100,000; with the lessons learned, KAL 007 should not repeat the same mistakes.

The third point, and the most mentioned conspiracy theory, is that the US military used the cover of KAL 007 to let the RC-135 reconnaissance plane enter the same airspace, and the Soviet radar could not clearly identify the overlapping of the two figures. The U.S. military can quickly grasp the Soviet air defense capabilities, reaction time and interception procedures in the Far Eastern Territory, especially Kamchatka-Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy is not only a rare place in the world that cannot be reached by rail and road Harbor City, the neighboring secret administrative area (closed city) Vilyuchinsk (Vilyuchinsk) is the nuclear-powered ICBM submarine base (still still open) where the US military was eager to crack the "Mist Satellite Map".

Controversy: Even though the crew of KAL 007 did not use any means to find landmarks (coordinates) during the entire flight to check the actual location of their flight, they were still talking about the bank exchange rate in the cockpit in a situation similar to "blind flight, lost" Chatting with small talk (checking the call records), but there are no incomprehensible code names or obscure code words in the conversation, and it is completely unaware that the flight is covering and investigating the way;

And if the U.S. military really boldly uses unarmed civil aviation planes carrying hundreds of innocent passengers to carry out espionage missions, it is impossible for the information and deblocking levels that have been declassified in succession in the three decades since the Cold War to have no clues left behind. Socially speaking, the political risks borne by the parties are immeasurable, even enough to shake the country and rewrite history. Yes, this is by no means a fantasy.

After the mourning mourning, ICAO decided to cancel the R20 route, which was only 144 kilometers away from the Soviet airspace, which was the usual flight of KAL 007 and other flights that year, in order to avoid unnecessary accidental entry into the airspace. The R80 route of about 288 kilometers; and the US military also announced the opening of part of the Global Positioning System (GPS, Global Positioning System) under the guidance of the White House for civilian use.

end:

There is a piece of information that has not been publicly confirmed by the former Soviet Union or the United States, but is believed to be in the Russian government's secret archives. Presumptuous assertion:

1. In the call recorder, when the infrared homing (thermal homing) missile hit the plane, when the captain, Mr. Qian Bing-in, asked Mr. Jin Yidong, the aviation mechanical engineer, if there was any abnormality, the reply he got was "everything is normal" .

Second, when the ground commander of the Soviet Homeland Defense Air Force learned that the missile had hit the tail of the airliner, he looked at the indication on the radar. After a while, he began to ask why the plane was still sailing?

(whispering) Ad break:

Recently, I have some whims, and plan to convert some text files into the form of online broadcasting (huh?), as a new type of communication; but due to limited resources, I use my mobile phone to record (a good shot!) and read it in one breath I haven't edited it yet (two strikes!)... Then the background music is haha (three strikes?), you are welcome to come and sit when you are free, it is purely a ticket nature, please forgive me.

Really point? Ha ha.
