Indian military says radar images prove Pakistan F-16 was shot down in February
India’s Air Force has presented what it described as “irrefutable evidence” that it downed a Pakistan fighter jet in February. The regional foes have offered competing narratives over what happened in their dogfight. Pakistan had denied that it lost an F-16 over the skies in Kashmir. A US magazine, citing top defense officials, has also cast doubt on India’s assertion that a jet was shot down. India lost an MiG-21 Bison in the aerial skirmish and its pilot was captured by Pakistan, and later returned. On Monday, India’s Air Vice Marshal R.G.K Kapoor read out the evidence gathered by India and displayed radar images he said proved the Pakistan jet was struck and had crashed, AFP reported.
