There was a struggle between India and Pakistan after Operation Sindoor. At that time, India had damaged Pakistan’s F-16 fighter jet. NDTV asked questions regarding F-16. However, the US refused to directly answer the questions asked on the loss of Pakistani F-16 fighter aircraft. To this, the US State Department said, “We will ask you the Government of Pakistan to discuss its F-16 aircraft.” Surprisingly, the US, Pakistan’s F-16 fleet keeps the technical support team (TST), which keeps an eye on the status of the aircraft round the clock. The system works under the agreement between Pakistan and the US, which is based on the conditions of F-16, which is based on the terms of F-16.

According to Indian Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, half of the F-16 hangar at Shahbaz Jacababad Airbase was destroyed and we are sure some aircraft were damaged inside. He told that the target of Indian attacks was Sukkur’s UAV Hangar, Bholari’s AEW & C Hanger, Jackbabad’s F-16 Hangar. The Indian Air Force claims that a total of 6 Pakistani aircraft were dropped during the operation, including 5 fighters and a large aircraft (potentially AEW & C or Elint).

Pakistan’s response and challenge
Pakistan completely dismissed these claims and said that if India is telling the truth, then both countries should make public the reserves of their aircraft. Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khwaja Mohammad Asif alleged that India wants to hide the truth. However, on the question asked by a private TV channel, the US Defense Department, citing the FOIA law, said that agencies do not need to create new documents or answer the questions directly. A spokesperson for Pentagon and US Defense Secretary did not make any additional comment on the issue.

At the same time, American silence is now being considered contrary to the statement that the US defense authorities gave the Foreign Policy magazine after the Balakot air strike in 2019. At that time, US officials had said that they counted Pakistani F-16 aircraft and no aircraft was missing, while India claimed that it had killed a F-16.
