Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has displayed all four unused missiles recovered from the wreckage of Indian aircraft that was downed on February 27, last year. The move has exposed the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) false claim that it shot down a Pakistani F-16 during the airborne dogfight in which it lost two fighter jets and had its pilot captured.

The wreckages are of the Indian jet, piloted by Abhinandan Varthaman, which crashed within the Pakistani territory. Though Pakistan returned the pilot as a peace gesture, it preserved the wreckage of the plan as a souvenir.

The PAF has now showcased the ruins for local and international media to have a look, inquiring if all the missiles were unused, how did the Indian pilot shoot the PAF aircraft?

The wreckage on display included the right and the left-wing of the Indian jet carrying two Beyond Visual Range (BVR) and Short-Range Missiles each. Though some parts of the missiles showed burn signs, all the components were intact to suggest that no missile was fired; thus, no damage could have been done to any PAF aircraft.

As a ‘face-saving’ tactic, the Indian authorities had claimed that Abhinandan had downed an F-16 fighter of Pakistan before his jet was hit.
