If we are to even believe your claim of amraam, it only proves the use of F16 at a certain time and not the loss of one - for the loss you need substantial evidence that you haven’t produced. An urdu idiom comes to mind “dum ka baal sa haathi banana” which literally translates to “to make an elephant from its tail’s hair”
Now about the use of F16s, if we take DG ISPRs statement he said F16s were not used in the offenaive, so the AMRAAMM use either makes that DG ISPR calcification false if used in the offense OR that the F16s were used in some other scenario and not in that specific offensive assault accross LOC; maybe DG ISPR just wanted to state the later case that F16s were not used in an aggressive manner against India accross LOC to not create an issue with US for us.
Anyway none of this proves the loss if you like think we used F16s in the attack - we can do a simple count of F16s once the situation cool, you are a secular democracy ao I dare you to do the same in India. F16s are ITAR controlled US equipment, and the US govt and Lockheed Martin will definitely like to know whether we have all the equipment with us or not (ie not supplied to China for reverse engineering) so there is no hiding my friend.
I have trust with the Armed forces - we have not hidden our thousands of soldiers deaths in WOT and also not covered the deatruction of much more prized aircrafts like Erieye and Orion - so truth will come out eventually.
What about the one you bought from Jordan ?
About DG ISPR.
He retracted three times regarding the number of pilots and fighters .Enough said .
How can we trust that source?
no they didn't. all you provided is proof of an amraam, which in the best case scenario for you, proves paf lied of not using f-16s. your service chiefs are further extrapolating that by implying since paf lied it must because they dont want to admit losing an aircraft, but let me remind you the falcons come with heavy strings attached, and not to mention the amraams, which states that we cannot use them without approval from the U.S. So the lie was told because telling the truth would mean breaking the agreement and that's not a good thing.
What about the one you purchased from Jordan in 2015 ,If I am not wrong ?
It also covered under US strings
