Every item inside an arms sale agreement have a serial number. For an aircraft, that is NOT the tail number. Tail number is customer's. Serial number is manufacturer's. The seller does not care what tail number the buyer may assign to the aircraft. Both sides takes inventory and compares what they have regarding the serial numbers. The seller what was shipped. The buyer what was received.I din't saw any proof presented by America regarding No loss of F-16. please enlighten me if any.
Regarding this event, the US is under no obligation to either confirm or deny Pakistan's claim of no F-16 loss, but we inventoried out of professional courtesy and found no F-16 missing. Further, we are under no obligations to provide India of any confidential report of anything relating to this event. India and the rest of the world will have to be satisfied with what we published in open media.
