File under: Govt of Pakistan

#1 ...Well, the piece of wreckage from the Slammer (AIM-120C5 missile) that the Indians found was kind of a dead giveaway. And it looks like the PAF managed a first in any event: the first F-16 lost in air-to-air combat. Nice going.

The IAF had some problems this go-around too, but on the whole they turned in a thoroughly professional and highly competent performance. The Paks just managed to utterly embarrass themselves yet again, especially with their Baghdad Bob-style updates (the Indians really didn't say much until the Paks would open their big mouths...and then the Inidans would show evidence that they were full of it. Well played on their part.).

#2 So, Congress, you authorize military tech transfers to Pakland and now you're upset because they used it? on India? Who did you think they were going to use it on, Lithuania?

Indian media claims are not evidence or proof. Fake news is not just an American invention.
