RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Military has once again refuted repeated Indian claims about shooting down of Pakistani F-16 by India and use of F-16 in air battle on 27 February.
Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the military, in a stamen said, “Reference repeated Indian claims about shooting down of Pakistani F-16 by India and use of F16 in air battle on 27 February. The event of 27 Feb is part of history now. No Pakistani F16 was hit by Indian airforce.”
“As regard PAF action for strikes across LOC it was done by JF-17 from within Pakistan airspace. Later when 2 Indian jets crossed LOC they were shot down by PAF.”
The statement further says “Whether it was F-16 or JF-17 which shot down 2 Indian aircrafts is immaterial. Even if F-16s have been used as at that point in time complete PAF was airborne including F-16s, the fact remains that Pakistan Airforce shot down two Indian jets in self defence.”
India can assume any type of their choice even F-16, the statement said and added Pakistan retains the right to use anything and everything in its legitimate self defence.
