| Washington wants to know if Pakistan used US-built jets to down Indian warplane |
| 2019-03-04 |
| [AlAhram] The United States said on Sunday it was trying to find out if Pakistain used U.S.-built F-16 jets to down an Indian warplane, potentially in violation of U.S. agreements, as the stand-off between the nuclear-armed Asian neighbors appeared to be easing. Pakistain and India both carried out aerial bombing missions this week, including a clash on Wednesday that saw an Indian pilot shot down over the disputed region of Kashmire in an incident that alarmed global powers and sparked fears of a war. A Pakistain military front man on Wednesday denied Indian claims that Pakistain used F-16 jets. |

| #5 the first F-16 lost in air-to-air combat Indian media claims are not evidence or proof. Fake news is not just an American invention. |

| #2 So, Congress, you authorize military tech transfers to Pakland and now you're upset because they used it? on India? Who did you think they were going to use it on, Lithuania? |

| #1 ...Well, the piece of wreckage from the Slammer (AIM-120C5 missile) that the Indians found was kind of a dead giveaway. And it looks like the PAF managed a first in any event: the first F-16 lost in air-to-air combat. Nice going. The IAF had some problems this go-around too, but on the whole they turned in a thoroughly professional and highly competent performance. The Paks just managed to utterly embarrass themselves yet again, especially with their Baghdad Bob-style updates (the Indians really didn't say much until the Paks would open their big mouths...and then the Inidans would show evidence that they were full of it. Well played on their part.). Mike |
