1/n) On 27th Feb, 2019, atleast two pilots ejected into POK. one was Wg Cdr Abhinandan from a Mig 21 Bison. The second (aka Doosra Banda) has been talked about by people in POK but we have not seen him so far. @anshumig @bennedose @sayareakd

2/n) A video posted in you tube shows a pilot ejecting in a location far from Abhinandans know location. We reconstructed the landscape of the video and geo located it. It shows a puff of smoke, a parachute and a debris falling

3/n) and the direction is in general line of Khuiratta - Chowk Sahiban in POK. This is very far from Abhinandans known location shown as Parachute 2 in this image. This proves that a second pilot (Doosra Banda) indeed ejected in POK on Feb 27th

A general map of the area is shown here.

Here are the two videos
1) Video 1 : PAF Fighter :
2) Video 2: IAF Fighter :

It is interesting to note that the spot marked in the Indian Army sightings of a parachute in general area Subzkot is not far from the red line drawn which shows the direction of parachute from this video (video 1)

The Google Earth view of this area will show some distinctive features shown in this panorama of the place.. You will notice Hills1,2,3,4. You will also notice the slope of the land going from right to left. Additionally a distinctive channel is visible on the left which is seen

Take Hill 1 for example in above tweet. As seen here it changes color with the season. If one were to see it in Feb time frame then the features (and marks) become very visible. It has a distinctive shape with a cut on top and the features do match as shown by the lines

A key aspect is how the puff/chute/debris sequence looks like for Doosra Banda compared to Abhi from this location. Given the mig direction and as seen in other vids, for Abhi the sequence is on left. But for Doosra banda it was the opposite indicating a diff direction.

The second interesting feature is the channel to the left... pretty distinctive on GE as well as in the panorama of the location

The next distinct feature is the slope of the land.. in the panorama it is sloping downwards from right to left as shown here... and in GE also a similar slope was visible.. for reference i have included Hill1 in the images so you can orient yourself to the layout

Lets look at distances involved. The puff, parachute and debris in video 1 (PAF Jet) would be 17KM to 13KM away from the puff, parachute and debris in video 2 (Mig). depending on the location. These are two distinct ejections at distance & any chutes deployed would not intermix

The PAF parachute video (video 1) was filmed from this building complex... in the video, the building has a tower on left and on GE one can make out the shadow... the surrounding buildings seem to match.. there is a courtyard on the right which is also seen in GE..

from the audio of the video, it sounds like the building is some school or some institution... the person says "baith jayiye baith jayiye"... and this building on GE does not resemble a normal house and more a school or something...so things match

This is an overall matching of the landscape from the vid & GE. especially Hills 1, 2, 3 and the slope. Hill2 is about 1.5KM behind and has rock slide marks on them which is visible on GE and the panorama. Also Hill2 has a peak to the side. GE view taken from same locality

One q which came up is where would WC Abhi's parachute have been w.r.t the doosrabanda's parachute from Khuiratta video location

As this map shows, Abhi's parachute direction would have cut across Hill1 towards Horran where as this parachute was across Hill3. So off by 65 degree

That day, Feb 27, 2019 a helicopter was noticed flying in the vicinity of action... This helicopter did not come for WC Abhinandan who was taken away in a green truck.. in next tweet we will see where this helicopter was flying..

The helicopter shown above was flying in the general area would match with the direction of the parachute in the Khuiratta video .. what was it doing there?
