ISPR chief releases proof to expose IAF claim of hitting F-16

Major General Asif Ghafoor tweets a picture of unfired four Indian missiles which the Indian army and media claimed were fired by MiG-21 in a dogfight with F-16.

LAHORE- (Pakistan Point News- 5th April 2019) Pakistan Army has exposed Indian claim regarding the shooting down of F-16 by MiG-21.

The ISPR head Major General Asif Ghafoor in a tweet released a picture of unfired four Indian missiles which according to Indian army and media claim were 'fired' by MiG-21 in a dogfight with F-16. Indian say its MiG-21 crashed after shooting down Pakistan F-16.

ISRP chief in a tweet said Pak Army had in possession of the remains of all four missiles carried by the MiG-21 Bison which crashed in Pakistani territory after the Feb 27 dogfight.

He said seeker heads of all four missiles were intact — implying that they were never fired — which runs counter to the Indian Air Force's persistent claim that its MiG-21 Bison had engaged a Pakistani F-16 before being shot down itself.

“ IAF claim of hitting F-16 by their Mig 21 before having been shot down by PAF gets exposed. All 4 missile seeker heads recovered intact from the wreckage & held. Pakistan and its professional Armed Forces staying humble by not drum beating. We have more truth on this to share. More importantly, he implied that the military is in possession of more proof that contradicts Indian claims,” tweeted ISPR head.

He took to the twitter to further expose Indian claims soon after Foreign Policy magazine falsified tweeting that “India has claimed it shot down a Pakistani F-16 fighter jet in February. But a new U.S. count of F-16s suggests New Delhi had it wrong.”
