Arent the warheads missing from the R77 and the R73 on the right? Which means they were fired and the warhead exploded? The ones on the left are pretty much intact, which means that they were found in the crash. So does this mean Abhi fired 2 missiles?

We also have the HD video of the actual wreackage where all these parts can be seen before extraction ...
Lol... Thats height of Ignorance..
These missiles fly at Mach-4.
An explosion at Mack 4 will turn all parts of the missile into shrapnels, and thats the whole point.
The scale seems fine to me.
The 2nd R-77's lattice fins are missing, so the tail end has been placed at the end in an upright position. If you notice the main fins go right up to the end of the table, so what's on the table is only 2/3rds of the missile.
So you're saying all 4 missiles were flying at mach 4?
The fact is the 4th R-73 was spent. It wasn't part of the Mig-21 wreckage since the warhead detonated. So that means it either found its mark and detonated or ran out of juice and detonated. Either way it was fired.
It took them 20 days to fabricate these

No sir. Rouhaani taaqat. Everything in Pakistan is run by them. They ensured that while the whole aircraft gets twisted and burnt. and so do both R-77s, only two R-73s survive.
Before anyone starts wailing about conjecture, here are pictures FROM PAKISTAN of PAF missile seekers and control fins recovered intact after firing. (h/t

@The Deterrent looks like my guess was correct. Proximity fuse triggered the warhead.
ISPR should make an approval process before posting such pictures. This is just like Abhi's propaganda video.
More than the missile debris it's the fair skinned , light eyed nearly blonde Aryans of the PA whom I find fascinating. The last adjective in the previous sentence is pun unintended. @safriz

I have myself fired a Matra Magic as part of my fully ops syllabus on Sea Harriers. I know what a missile is and how it explodes. I still maintain the Brahmin logic, "do not teach an idiot and do not deprive a brainy person Gyaan. as it is a sin". please do not become a sinner.

No need to explain anything to them. They will now come out with something even more funny.Found another, Python 5
even in case of a direct hit, the seeker head will be damaged and intact as single piece. The explosives in the AAMs are expanding rod type which have blast along the body of the missile and not towards the front. The center body explodes as if it has sticks of explosives around it. The blast effect cuts the body of the target instead of causing a hole in it.

Do these missiles have any recording feature right before impact? Because if the front end of the missile is going to remain intact there could be some sort of a blackbox kind of recording mechanism to study for future analysis right? Like how the air to ground bombs can transmit the video until the last minute of impact
False picture. The seeker of second missile is supposed to be burnt completely.
How the hell did they get it intact then on the table...
