After the missile strike(s) there won’t be much, if any data to be had, but it is important to establish the state of the aircraft before that, in order to debunk or confirm any reasons being put out by the Iranian authorities for the downing.
Watch this space.
Thanks Twitter
not good news. Doubt they have expertise and could easily lose the entire data storage.
Yes, the recorders can confirm or deny missile theory - there won’t be any data post strike, but that will prove it was an explosion. It also looks like they’ve gone back into “not our fault” mode. Their problem would seem to be that nobody or everybody is in charge of things. Clerics. Army. Government. Revolutionary Guards etc

Thanks for that update
