How are sniper or pilot kills confirmed in times of conflict?
In: 31
Aircraft have recorders which track everything on the HUD and cockpit displays, but a BVR kill might need confirmation from other assets like ground or airborne radar. Air defence systems have controllers who control (among other things) all the fighters and track enemy aircraft.
Some people have mentioned “gun cameras”, those aren’t a thing any more. The aircraft just records the HUD and voice the whole time, not just when weapons are being used.
Sniper kills, they’re not really. It’s up to the sniper team themselves to verify if they hit what they shot at.
