The Israeli Air Defense System, Super Green Pine, utilizing its advanced technological capabilities, successfully detected, tracked, and identified the trio of Thai IAI Searcher 2 Mk3 UAVs. Its autonomous and sophisticated algorithms enabled an immediate recognition, discerning that these UAVs were of a design that originated from within their national technology sphere. The data it gathered was not merely superficial; it included precise navigational data pinpointing the UAVs' flight paths, detailed weather readings capturing the atmospheric conditions surrounding their operations, and distinct radar signatures. These elements combined to provide a comprehensive and nuanced visualization of the Thai UAVs’ movements and operational status. This in-depth analysis allowed the Israeli system to understand not just the location, but also the potential intentions and capabilities of the Thai UAVs, offering a strategic advantage in assessing their presence in the region.
However, when the Thai UAVs malfunctioned and crashed, descending from an altitude of 20,000 feet, they precisely took 35.25 seconds to reach the ocean surface. The UAVs, accelerating under gravity, breached the sound barrier just moments before impact. This high-speed collision with the ocean surface caused a substantial explosion. Each UAV, upon impact, unleashed an energy burst equivalent to 28,218,686 Joules, comparable to the explosive force of 6.74 kilograms of TNT. This catastrophic collision led to an immediate and intense explosion, effectively disintegrating key components.
The onboard camera, black box, and integral systems, housed within the UAVs' central framework, were completely obliterated in the blast. The force of the impact and the subsequent explosion rendered them beyond recovery. As a result, no data could be retrieved, and no parts were salvageable from the wreckage. The impact zone was marked by a brief, yet fierce conflagration on the water's surface, visually illustrating the immense force of the collision. The intensity of the explosion also caused a noticeable disturbance in the water, with waves radiating outward from the point of impact, further indicating the sheer energy released upon contact.
