Wing Commander Noman Ali Khan & Squadron Leader Hassan Siddqui, MIG-21Bison & SU-30 MKI slayers

India’s claim that they shot down an F-16 which crashed a few km inside Pakistan is suspicious for a reason not mentioned.
Clearly the use of F-16s is a sensitive issue.
I really doubt that PAF for that reason will let F-16s near the border when a conflict ensues.
They are much more likely to stay behind and engage with BVR missiles.

Only 1-2 days before PAF was significantly raising its level of preparedness and PDF comments were jubilant about Mirages and F-16 patrolling en masse.
From that, I draw the conclusion that PAF still considers the F-16 its primary line of defense.

It would be very surprising if they were totally absent when PAF is attacking Indian bases.
I believe the plan was that if the strike could get through without opposition, the F-16s would be left out, but as soon as Su-30MKIs were in the picture, PAF would rather take the fallout of US wrath than lose one or more planes.

It is clearly not advantageous for PAF to admit publicly that F-16s were used.
They will always claim any kills were made by something else, so why not the JF-17.

The MiG kill is much more likely to have been made by a JF-17.

Complete speculation based on your whims.

India claims this wreckage (its own mig-21 bison) as an F-16;

Can't understand why the Pak folks are making so much fuss about it????? Isn't it a part of the "job description" of the PAF pilots?????? According to President Trump, it doesn't even qualify for a regular pay rise, if lucky to get paid at all.....

IAF pilots have done their job - getting blown up by the PAF....

PAF pilots have done their job - blowing up the IAF....
