Apr 08, 2019

New Delhi, Apr 08 (ANI): Addressing a media conference on Monday, Indian Air Forces’ Air Vice Marshal RGK Kapoor said, “The IAF has irrefutable evidence of not only the fact that the F-16 was used by Pakistan Air Force on February 27, 2019 but also that IAF MiG-21 Bison shot down the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) aircraft F-16.” Kapoor further stated that, there is no doubt that two aircraft went down in the aerial engagement on 27 February 2019 one of which was the Bison of IAF while the other was F-16 of PAF conclusively identified by its electronic signature and radio transcripts. IAF has more credible evidence that is clearly indicative of fact that Pakistan has lost one F-16 in the air action. However, due to security and confidentiality concerns we are restricting the information being shared in the public domain.” The IAF also released AWACS (Airborne Warning And Control System) radar images that confirms Pakistan F-16 was downed by MiG 21 on February 27.
