Oh dear Oh dear - confusion on a higher level...
Lets try to analyse from what we know (or assume we know
):
- One plane is down in Azad Kashmir - Almost sure its a MIG21 bison
- One plane is down in Indian occupied Kashmir - We actually don´t know what kind of fighter it was
- One Indian pilot in Pakistani custody
Pakistan claims:
- Shot down 2 fighters - one fell in Azad Kashmir and one in Indian occupied Kashmir
- We have two pilots one in hospital and one arrested - later on they changed it to only one pilot (a lot of claims of there was one more pilot ie 3 pilot in total. One person in one of the social media movies was talking about another pilot in the air)
- No use of F-16
Indian claims:
- Shot down Pakistani F-16 - and claiming that the F-16 fell on Pakistani soil
- We did not loose any aircraft - later they changed it to we lost one aircraft and one pilot is missing
- Missile parts from AIM 120C-5 shown as proof for that F-16 was used
Now this brings some valid questions:
- Where are the pilot(s) from the wreckage in the Indian occupied Kashmir?
- Why don't the Indians tell the world what plane the wreckage they found was from?
- Why did Pakistan change their statement from 2 pilots to one?
So my assumption is that both sides are hiding knowledge....
- Could it be that F-16 was shot down and the two pilots in the air was Pakistani pilots? - but then where are the wreckage? -This could explain the statement went from two pilots to one. But then again if this was the fact then you should know that the pilot in the hospital was a Pakistani pilot and hence you would not have mentioned it in the press conference. We have seen so many videos of Abhinandan - but none of the other assumed pilot(s)...
- Could it be that it was a SU-30 that was downed and fell in Indian occupied Kashmir - and that's the reason they won't tell what kind of aircraft it was they recovered the wreckage of? But where are the pilots?
- Could there have been 3 aircrafts down? One mig-21 bison, One SU-30 and One F-16?
- Could it be that JF-17 can carry AIM 120-5? - this could explain the missile part in Indian hands and still hold the argument that no F-16 was used. And Pakistan will not disclose that they have managed to incorporate AIMC-5 into JF-17
Plz shed some light on the above.
Plz keep this as a mature discussion. This is only an attempt to get more close to the truth.
