The Indian Air Force, IAF today reiterated that it has irrefutable evidence not only of the fact that the F-16 was used by Pakistan Air Force on 27th February but also that IAF MIG 21 Bison shot down the F-16.

Briefing media in New Delhi, Air Vice Marshal RGK Kapoor said, there is no doubt that two aircraft went down in the aerial engagement, one of which was the MIG 21 Bison while the other was F-16 of Pakistan Air Force conclusively identified by its electronic signature and radio trans.

He said, certain official statements made by Pakistan’s Director General Inter-Services Public Relations also corroborate the stand of Indian Air Force.

Air Vice Marshal Kapoor said, IAF has more credible evidence that is clearly indicative of the fact that Pakistan has lost one F-16. However, he said, due to security and confidentiality concerns, the Indian Air Force is restricting the information being shared in the public domain.

The Indian Air Force also released radar images to rebut Pakistan’s claim that it had not lost a US-manufactured F-16 fighter jet in the aerial combat on February 27.
