NEW DELHI: A US magazine cast serious doubt Friday on India's assertion that it shot down a Pakistani F-16 fighter jetCiting two unnamed senior US defence officials, Foreign Policy said that US personnel recently conducted a count of Pakistan's F-16s and found none missing.This contradicts a statement from India's Air Vice Marshal RGK Kapoor that India downed a Pakistani F-16 in a dogfight over Kashmir on Feb 27.
"Time for India to speak truth about false claims & actual losses on their side including the second aircraft shot down by Pakistan," he said in a re-tweet of the Foreign Policy article. Initially Pakistan said it had captured two Indian pilots but the military later clarified it had just one pilot in custody, who was later released.The dogfight happened after Pakistani aircraft entered Indian airspace a day after Indian aircraft carried out an airstrike on what it said was a"terrorist training camp" in Pakistan.
