While all last week the Indian Defence Personal have been waving a piece of an American missile in a futile exercise to somehow give credibility to their ridiculous claims of shooting down an F-16. In fact it was more of desperation to get American attention to complain about US systems in Pakistani hands, hurting Indians, like a little child crying for his broken toys.
Even if this piece of missile is genuine, the irony is that Pakistan also found a piece of Russian R-73 Missile but never made any issues about it since it was found amongst the MiG-21 Bison of the IAF which the PAF shot down. Missiles don't just fall out of the air and land in your enemy's territory until or unless they are fired at a target or the missile platform it'self becomes the victim. While the whole world saw Pakistan shoot down the MiG-21 and capture the pilot hence the discovery of R-73 in the wreckage, Indians OTOH by showing just a piece of AMRAAM are basically waving a Red Cloth to a Bull. Basically the Indians could only have recovered the remains of the missile from it's victim which would be an IAF aircraft that crashed in the Indian territory.

PAF said that all of the downed MiG-21's missiles were accounted for. Why not release the pictures of all those missiles. That will also put to rest the F-16 downing theory

This is not a village fair khushti that you talk about crying or complaining. It’s about ensuring you guys don’t have the F16 in play. Not that it mattered because we even took down the F16s.
Yea, you can't even take down a Balloon without firing a half a million missile on it.
If you jokers think that your pilot had shot down an F-16, we would have returned him in new packaging, get over it and ask your air-force to come clean.

My friend the pic which @Windjammer post has put Indian F-16 theory to rest because the pic shows front section of the missile and if this missile shot down F-16 how could this front section be in tact. This section needs to explode to kill any jet.

If Abhi,none,done took down F-16 how is that Pakistan has the seeker in tact?

Here see below the seeker fits in front.

I am going by my Govt version and you should go by yours as it should be and that’s fair. All else’s is just hypothesis. There was no way you could have kept him for Long time . The Pak side HAD to return him irrespective of how many aircrafts he took down. It was about escalation. I think Pak did the wise thing by sending him back and claiming moral hi ground.
The narrative in your media is already shifted to one plane downed. Which begs the question on who were the 3 parachuteers (is that right word) as seen by eyewitnesses. One is our guy definitely . I am not here to do a tu tu mei mei. Let’s cut crap and behave with little maturity.

What was the load out of the MiG-21? How many missiles was it carrying? 2 R73 and 2 R77?

This was posted by @Imran Khan a few days back, but I wasnt sure if it was authentic.

First thought that comes to mind is that it seems pretty intact, so AWC will have fun dissecting it, possibly learning its weaknesses, and develop countermeasures to defeat it.

It's also proof that PAF shot down over a dozen MKIs and upgraded Mig29s.
