#Balakot | The Indian Air Force, it can now be clearly said seven years after the fact, missed its designated targets, lost a fighter jet in an aerial skirmish, shot down its own helicopter, had another near-miss friendly fire incident over Rajasthan and was put on the backfoot because of the capture of its fighter pilot.

So apparently based on this Indian source, during Swift Retort an Indian Su-30mki fired a missile at an Indian MiG-21 in a near miss own kill.

Full nailey hein.

In all fairness, we shot down our own F-16 as well during the Afghan war. Circumstances were different though.

Next planned is 6 sqn, so maybe after that.

I shall be in your parts in the not-so-distant future.

If those videos and Images indeed show the wreckage of crashed Indian fighter jets, PAF should present them at an official press conference.
Pakistan Air Force can identify the wreckage and establish whether Indian fighter jets were actually downed, and Indian Air Force and Indian government would then be compelled to respond to those claims.
If PAF officially acknowledges the shootdowns and backs them with clear visual evidence, it would be Impossible for Indian Air Force to deny the losses.

Than show the rafales whose tail numbers were claimed by PAF in Air force monthly magazine.
Bdsk paj@@t.

IAF is just following the intructions from their leader...

Wo bichara kaisay dikha sakta hai (ab).

IAF has removed the Tail Numbers (clean) off the Vertical Stabilizers of "only" their RAFALES.

Proof/Evidence: Images were shared of the IAF Rafales by the twitter/X handle of the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force), during Excercise Pitch Black.

Now here is a question for the Indian members...

Q. Why has the IAF only removed the Tail Numbers off the Rafales and not anything else in their inventory?

For the record, I have been following Military Aviation for decades, and not once in my life have I have seen or heard that a Military a/c not to have a Tail Number.

That's like a civilian Commercial Airliner not having a Registeration.

IAF's motto: "We're failing miserably even when we're not trying."
