’Irrefutable’ Evidence Shows F-16 Was Used by Pakistan: IAF

Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Apr 08, 2019 : The Indian Air Force on Monday said that they have "irrefutable evidence" to prove that F-16 was used by Pakistan Air Force on February 27, Yahoo reported.

 

Sources confirmed to News18 that the F-16 was shot down by Wing Commander Varthaman. There is enough technical evidence, they added, for the IAF to be convinced that it was indeed an F-16 that the Wing Commander engaged with and eventually shot down.

The IAF said that on February 27, there were confirmed sighting ejections at two different places separated by at least 8-10 km — one was an IAF MiG-21 Bison and the other was a PAF aircraft.

News agency ANI quoted its sources as saying that radio communication of Pakistan Air Force intercepted by IAF confirmed that one of the F-16s that attacked India on February 27 "did not return to its base".
