The poor guy never said himself that he downed an F-16, the US did an inventory count and confirmed no F-16 missing from Pakistan’s inventory, the shot down Mig had all missiles attached, there is no eye witness or video camera footage which is a norm in all modern aircraft and the Modi media is adamant that Mr Moustache downed an F-16 by saying chhu mantar.
Many independent investigating resources have confirmed that an F16 was never downed rather Indian Army Chief was a locked target as a surprise just before the chase which led to the death of one Indian Pilot whose aircraft was also shot and Abhinandan’s plane was also hit!
Whereas many Indian Bhakts find it important keep the planes in working condition so that they can be used in war situation. To them, Mig21 is the only plane which shot down F16. How wrong facts are depicted not even a single F-16 was downed confirmed by the american manafacturing and monitoring company and they are saying they downed. What a hypocrisy.
