And Pakistan has the best opportunity to prove that the terrorist camps were not hit by taking the journalists to the camps(as promised by the ispr official) and also prove that the 2nd Indian pilot was in their custody by just producing him in front of the world media.
Whether f16 or some other Pakistani plane was shot down is not going to be easy to prove, since historically Pakistan maintains its fictions for long durations, eg no Pakistani soldiers involved in kargil or Osama was not killed in Pakistan or taliban is not supported by pakistan. Lying comes naturally to them.
Just prove the 2 points above and shut Indian mouths.
Similarly how a PAF Viper was shot down by displaying an AMRAAM wreckage but without the actual wreckage of the aircraft.
It is a web of uncertainties and facts being woven around.
Typical deceitful answer.
AMRAAM wreakage was shown to prove f16 use, since Pakistan denied using f16, not shooting down of f16. Though I feel even exhibition of this was unnecessary as Pakistan would use all its resources in a conflict. Everyone including usa are fully aware of this as Pakistan has used mostly American planes, tanks, etc since the 50s against India.
Difference is that since in Pakistan the army is a political institution, it made repeated uncorroborated bombastic statements like any politician, while the IAF chief categorically refused to give answers which were not in his professional domain. Eg number of terrorist casualties in the IAF attack.
The only point of interests in this conflict are to know -
why the mig21 pilot crossed the LOC alone in broad daylight? Was it a rush of blood or SOP ?
2ndly how was the mig21 actually downed, f16 or SAM ?
3rdly why did the upgraded electronics in the mig21 not detect a missile lock ?
4th most interestingly how will India respond after the next major terrorist attack from across the border.?
