Sounds like just electronic interference to me. Lots of equipment on board.

Agreed its electronic interference. You got radar and missle warnings going off as well as the downed aviator audio beacons, not to mention tons of radio chatter.

Around 6:20 you hear radio Chatter:

"Shot Gun, Shot Gun!"

That is a SEAD (Wild Weasels) firing Anti-Radiation missiles at SAM radars.

Great link, sharing on FB.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
