Time for India to speak truth about false claims, says Pakistan military

The Pakistani military has said that it stands vindicated after a count of its F-16 fighter jets by US defence officials confirmed that none of the aircraft is missing.

In an exclusive report, the prestigious Foreign Policy magazine quoted unnamed US defence officials as saying that their physical count found that all F-16 jets in the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) fleet are accounted for.

The confirmation by US defence officials is a huge embarrassment for India which claims that its air force had shot down a PAF F-16 jet in the February 29 air battle over Kashmir. Islamabad denies the claim.
