WASHINGTON: The United States government has declined to share with India information on the use of F-16 fighter jets by the Pakistan Air Force during a recent dogfight, the Indian media reported on Sunday.

“Soon after we were informed by the Indian side about Pakistan using F-16 aircraft on Feb 27, we informed the Indians that we will not be sharing any information on the subject as it is a bilateral matter between the US and Pakistan,” a US official told Indian Express.

The official said that India understood the US position, which was not India or Pakistan-specific. “If a third country tomorrow wants information about the C130 or C17 or Apaches that the IAF uses, our answer would be the same. It is a bilateral matter between India and the US,” the official added.

The subject is a bilateral matter between Washington and Islamabad, Indian newspaper quotes an American official as saying

The Indian Air Force had complained to the Pentagon in March that Pakistan had violated the end-user agreement on F-16 by using the jets for offensive against India. The IAF also displayed parts of an AMRAAM beyond visual range air-to-air missile to prove its claim that Pakistan deployed US-made F-16 fighter jets during the Feb 27 dogfight with its planes.

Pakistan had categorically denied the Indian claim, saying that no F-16 fighter jets were used. It also rejected another Indian claim that the IAF shot down a Pakistani F-16 jet as totally baseless.

Pakistan, however, brought down an Indian plane and also captured its pilot who was released on March 1 as a goodwill gesture telecast live on both Indian and Pakistani TV channels.

Foreign Policy, a US magazine, reported recently that a US count of the Pakistani F-16s determined that none of them were “missing” and all the fighter planes were “present and accounted for”. The report contradicted India’s claim that the IAF had shot down an F-16 jet in Azad Kashmir.

yeah the yankees aren't that ethical...if the indian claim if shooting one down was true, the yankees would've quietly leaked the evidence and the Pakistan hating yankee media would've had a field day with it.

This favors India far more...they could easily provide a statement saying no F16 is shot down.

What was the American Poodle India expecting?

Indians are mistaken if they believe they can gang up with the US (or anyone else) to attack and destroy Pakistan.

Well of course they will favor india as much as they can. They can't come out and say that no F16s were shot down because it would humiliate their new girlfriend india and they can't say that one was shot down because then Pakistan will publicly show the count. so they're just playing it "neutral"!

India is like that shyster who contantly tells lies and then begs others to "back up" her lies.

Indians are making fun of us for going to IMF, but what they are doing is a million times more humiliating!!

Even India went to IMF, but no other country on earth is begging big daddy USA as much as India is

 

[Mugwop]

super power india must punish USA for not agreeing with their B.S.

What was the American Poodle India expecting?

Indians are mistaken if they believe they can gang up with the US (or anyone else) to attack and destroy Pakistan.

They can't beat Pakistan alone despite numerical advantage
