Hi
You can make any sorts of claim, but they will be unsubstantiated. I provided some logical alternate explanations on how this can be explained, to which you failed to respond (as per my expectations ) further this is war situation and information is released, withheld or even reversed for certain strategic purposes - that is not gymnastics. If we go with substantiated evidence so far we have one IAF pilot and jet in Pakistan for whole world to see. The other jet we claim, but yes we have yet substantiate if we see it as as a neutral observer, but then I dont understand why you missed the opportunity to also equate the “crashed” mig21 jet and MI17 as also shot by Pakistan too, but want to take mere words and then turn them into evidence for something bigger of your liking, for example an f16 shot?
If the second pilot previously claimed to be in hospital is one of ours, why would we claim as Indian in a press conference - are we that stupid to not recognize our own pilot from our fighter jet crashed in our own boundary - just think about this alone and you will realize that this is a reversal of info for matters about which you and me do not have the clearance to give a substantial opinion; and without substantial evidence we can only Speculate inconclusively - i will repost my alternate explanations from previous post again with some additions, i hope you dont miss them this time:
“The correction can mean many things if we speculate:
1) could be dead?
2) could have managed to escape
3) the second jet was in IOK so maybe they were too close to the LOC and we thought they landed on our side but didn't.”
4) We have the pilot but will reveal later, or we had him but couldn’t survive injuries and is dead; the benefit of hiding this is not to escalate situation with India as they already have lost uniformed soldiers and a pilot captured and paraded on live tv so far, vs some fictional 300 terrorists chilling in Balakot (which turned to be trees).
4) We were just mistaken as can happen in war like situations.
5) We can do a count of our F16s to end all of speculation once the environment cools down - i am quite sure along with our Iranian friends, US and Lockheed Martin would be eager to know for sure. Trust me Americans would like to account for all F16s to esnure we did not export it illegally to China
, so there is no hiding if Pak is lying
