But the Indian Air Force has replied, "This was expected. Do you think USA will accept that an F-16 was shot down by a vintage Russian MiG-21 Bison?" There are sources and electronic and physical evidence to prove the fact that F-16s were shot down.
Another source said, "F-16s are the most sold Fighter jets and they are also in contention for the 114 fighter jets order from the IAF. So, how can they admit their aircraft was shot down?". So far, there has been no clarity over the issue and there are chaos clouding around.
