Well if IAF objective was only to show that PAF used F16 and not to prove its "kill" th
en surely IAF has set very low targets for itself. Surely all those billion dollars that are being spent on IAF are not being put to good use
No - it achieved its objective. To prove PAF and DGISPR was lying about F16 usage. It achieved its objective - case closed. There is nothing else that need to be done.
Anyways more than a year later only thing that IAF has is a few feet long piece of metal of only one enemy missile
Actually it has done more than PAF has. It painted air battle picture - complete with how many aircrafts , the vectors and the response. PAF other than issue statement through DGISPR has done nothing. I am waiting on some information about supposed Su 30 - which i honestly believe is well concoted lie.
No wonder despite showing ISPR changed its statement, no neutral expert agrees with claims of Indian state (terrorists killed at balakot or F16 kill)
Neutral expert as in PDF members , right ? I mean it does not matter. Here's an awesome chance for you to screw IAF and GOI - release the serial numbers , paint air battle picture and lay this theory to rest. Serial #'s will prove the F16 shot down as bogus and Air battle picture will force IAF on backfoot about Su 30. It actually flew the same Su 30 - prove that its not.
Here you can see numbers on this missile
Comon Areesh - you know what i am talking about. It should not be difficult to get a clear shot of serial number. Dont give me the chalta hain attitude. Show the number in the exact same way that IAF did. This is the chance.
It can be serial number or anything. But the thing is at least it is something far more credible than IAF has shown
But IAF never claimed to have material evidence ! Its has been clear from day 1. We have radar intercepts, comm intercepts, visual sightings , EW signatures through which we are confident that an F16 went down. It has very clearly stated that it does not have material evidence.
The least PAF can do is share similar evidence of for the Su 30 shot down.
Onus of proof is on IAF and not on PAF right now
It doesnt work like that. You make a claim - you lay out the proof. In case of Su 30 - present the proof , the planes flew on republic day. For F16 - lets start with serial numbers. I am more than eager to get serial numbers - for i believe people who are truthful have nothing to be afraid. I believe in IAF and our checks / balances. Even in case of fraticide - it publicly declared 'we screwed up' - i was upset but then i accepted it. Its the right process.
IAF doesn't need to change its story because it never had one
IAF always had consistent story. Gafoora changed the story every time - need i say more.
So apparently for you MS paint pictures are more credible than actual wreckage pictures
Then you are a true Indian by that standard of foolishness
But guess what! MS paint pictures are simple not enough for everyone including neutral experts

Indian Radar Data That Supposedly Proves They Downed An F-16 Is Far From "Irrefutable"
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zo...s-they-downed-an-f-16-is-far-from-irrefutable
Thank you for posting the article. I read through the article . Here's the summary "India’s latest release of information is interesting,
but it remains too circumstantial and limited to put the issue of whether or not the IAF shot down an F-16 to rest for good. The Indian government’s repeated claims, and the counter-claims of an audit of Pakistani Vipers, only seem to raise new questions about exactly what happened in the skies over Kashmir more than a month ago"
I agree with the above summary. All the author is saying "its confusing and not enough". Hence lets start with serial numbers of missiles and we will go from there. You guys should be helping out the PAF by making the serial numbers public.
Lets see what this leads to - perhaps serial numbers will be put out on 27th.
