Ok, here goes the latest desperate attempt of face saving.
News Headline:
‘Not aware’: Pentagon on Pak F-16 count after Feb aerial dogfight with IAF
Contents:
A US defence department spokesman told Hindustan Times in a statement that they, the department, “weren’t aware of any investigation like that”, that was said to have been conducted, according to unidentified defence officials cited in the FP report, and referred this reporter to the Department of State.
The state department distanced itself from the news report saying in response to a direct request to confirm or deny it, “As a matter of policy, the Department does not publicly comment on details of government-to-government agreements on end-use monitoring of US-origin defence articles.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Now if you search the official websites of both state dept and dept of defence, there does not exist any press release related to it on April 5.
The last state dept press briefing was held on Apr 2.
Similar case with dept of defence website.
