India's air force presented what it called "irrefutable evidence" Monday that it downed a Pakistan fighter jet in February. Pakistan has repeatedly denied that it lost an F-16 over the skies in Kashmir while a US magazine, citing top defence officials, has also cast doubt on India's assertion that a jet was shot down.
India lost at least an MiG-21 Bison in the aerial skirmish and its pilot was captured by Pakistan and later returned, cooling one of the most serious military confrontations between the nuclear-armed rivals in decades. But India has claimed that its pilot first fired on an F-16, sending the damaged jet crashing into AJK - something Islamabad points out never happened.
