RAWALPINDI: Pakistan military has confirmed that two Indian fighter jets were shot down today in response to Indian aggression.

DG ISPR said: “In response to PAF strikes this morning as released by MoFA, IAF crossed LOC. PAF shot down two Indian aircrafts inside Pakistani airspace. One of the aircraft fell inside AJ&K while other fell inside IOK. One Indian pilot arrested by troops on ground while two in the area.”

The military spokesperson added that one Indian pilot was arrested by the Pakistani troops on ground.

Indian media has earlier reported that two pilots were killed when a Mig 21 plane crashed in Occupied Kashmir's Budgam District.

The surprise move came a day after Indian jets intruded into Pakistani airspace and claimed to have attacked a militant camp.

On Tuesday, General Asif Ghafoor while rubbishing the claims of Indians that their aircraft stayed in Pakistan’s airspace for 21 minutes and killed 350 terrorists asked the adversary to get ready for response.

“The formation of the Indian aircraft crossed the LoC by four to five nautical miles which was timely and effectively challenged and repulsed by the Pakistan Air Force (PAF),” he said, adding after dropping the payload of four bombs in a haste, they went back under pressure from the PAF aircraft. “It is time for India to get response for which time place will be chosen by us and the response may be in any domain,” Major General Asif Ghafoor said at a news briefing on Tuesday, maintaining that the response would come and it would come differently.

He pointed out that the prime minister had also called the meeting of the National Command Authority (NCA), while there will also be a joint sitting of the Parliament. The DG ISPR said the response from Pakistan would come at the time and place of Pakistan's choosing where the civil and military leadership decide it. He said the prime minister during meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) asked the 207 million people and armed forces to get ready for any eventuality. “You also saw response of the political leaders who are one at this juncture,” he said.

The DG ISPR, Major General Asif Ghafoor, said the Indian air force started their intrusion at the Pakistani airspace on three fronts. He said one of the Combat Air Patrol (CAP) was in the air when the first visibility of an Indian formation came on radar while approaching towards the Lahore-Sialkot border. “Our CAP approached and challenged them and they returned seven to eight nautical miles within their borders and did not cross into our territory,” he said. “The second Indian formation was spotted at Okara-Bahawalpur sector, but they also did not dare to cross into Pakistan when another Pakistani CAP was sent to that side as standard operation procedure (SOP),” the DG ISPR said. He said the third CAP picked a relatively heavier formation at Muzaffarabad near Keran valley. “They had crossed the LoC by four to five nautical miles when we challenged them. They had crossed the LoC for four minutes before the PAF challenged them,” he said. “Had they struck any of the military positions, there would have been fight. Had they struck us, there would have been causalities of the uniformed personnel,” he said.

The Army spokesman said the Indian forces wanted to target the civilian population so they could make propaganda that they have targeted terrorist base camps to benefit their warmongering. Asif Ghafoor said the Indian forces released their payload of four bombs which dropped miles away near Jabba, Balakot, and left the area immediately. He said the Indians were claiming that they have killed 350 terrorists. “Not even a single brick or debris is present there. They are claiming 350 deaths. Had there been even 10 casualties, there would have been blood, funeral prayers and injuries," Asif Ghafoor said. He said the spot was open for everybody and anybody, defence attachés, observers of the United Nations and ambassadors. “Even the civilian and military representatives from India are invited to come to the spot from authorised entry points, see it for yourself and go back and tell your prime minister,” he said.

"I said three things: You will never be able to surprise us and we have not been surprised. We were ready, we responded, we denied. I said we will retain the escalation ladder. We have that initiative in our hand," he said. "I am saying that we will surprise you. Wait for that surprise. Our response will be different. See it for yourself. The response will come, and response will come differently," he said.

Bleep off my thread scammer

Indo-Pakistan should calm down and have round table talk.

Mod pls ban this naijabet guy and delete this post

Indians and wickedness na twins

India should not use election to increase tension in the regions

And to think both country poses nuclear threats should be a cause for concern.

By the way jf17 once more proves superior to the f16.

Thank God Nigeria opted for the jf17

India lost only one MIG21 after 5 MIG21 had intercepted 6 Pakistani F16 moving into Indian airspace, in the ensuing aerial combat 1 F16 was shot down and 1 MIG21 was lost, either shot down or crashed due to technical reasons.

This aerial battle took place over Pakistani airspace.

Transcript of MEA ( ministry of external affairs ) statement :

" India had informed about Counter Terrorism (CT) action it took yesterday against a training camp of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in Pakistan based on credible evidence that JeM intended to launch more attacks. Against this Counter Terrorism Action, Pakistan has responded this morning by using its Air Force to target military installations on the Indian side. Due to our high state of readiness and alertness, Pakistan’s attempts were foiled successfully.

The Pakistan Air Force was detected and the Indian Air Force responded instantly. In that aerial engagement, one Pakistan Air Force fighter aircraft was shot down by a MiG 21 Bison of the Indian Air Force. The Pakistani aircraft was seen by ground forces falling from the sky on the Pakistan side. In this engagement, we have unfortunately lost one MiG 21. The pilot is missing in action. Pakistan has claimed that he is in their custody. We are ascertaining the facts."

It's for the first time in world aerial combat history that a MIG21 shot down a F16

AFAIK

only F16 squadrons have been deployed and they are the ones who are flying CAP missions and trying to engage the IAF in the sector

India did not shoot down any PAK jet, the Indian prime minister only want to save his face and seek relection. Pakistan claimed it shot down 2 indian jet and showed video and photos, where is india's proof?

Not even a photo from india to prove they claim.

No Pakistani aircraft was shot down today (Wednesday) by Indian forces, confirmed the chief of the Pakistan military’s media wing, Major General Asif Ghafoor.

He addressed the media Wednesday afternoon shortly after Pakistan shot down two Indian fighter jets that violated its airspace.

While I'm no fan of the F16 or Indian airforce, to say that the Jf17 is superior to the F16 is completely laughable. The Nigerian airforce are bunch of morons to have opted for that piece of crap. If we have spent the money on the SU30SM, things would have been different, especially with targeting boko haram. Whatever, the Jf17 is no where near the f16. That's a fact.

brother it depends on who's on the wheels.
A pro in f7 can blow a rookie in f22 in airel battle.

Su30 and jf17 aren't mate and aren't in same price.

Morever the Pakistan are more easier to do business with than the Russians who were sanctioned by USA.

You don't expect a 3rd country like Nigeria risking sanctions going through backdoor doing business with the Russians.

..

Ha.

The Indians said no F-16 was used.

Of course a jf-17 is not a match.

Are nations not doing arms business with Russia today? what has sanctions done? Algeria buys almost every Russian made weapons once they come out of the shelves. Russia just reach a deal with Qatar on the S-400, the same weapon Turkey, a US ally has vowed to buy whether Washington likes it or not. What has American done? Where are the sanctions? The US introduced CAATSA because they fear the proliferation of Russian made SAMs. I repeat, the Nigerian authorities are bunch of morons to have spent that money on already decommissioned planes. For your information, Nigeria has purchased several weapons from Russia since the boko Haram crisis began. Therefore, the fear of sanction is not an excuse at all.

As for the J17, it remains inferior in many areas, and a country like Nigeria should be going for the best, not a make over plane.
