A picture equals a thousand words, here's a picture taken in January 1972, soon after the 1971 India, Pakistan war. During the 14 day war, India amongst other exaggerated air victories, claimed the destruction of six PAF Mirage aircraft fighter/bombers. The PAF order for 24 Mirage-III of various versions was widely publicised in the late sixties. However, after the war, PAF lined up 22 aircraft at Sargodha before the international observers, one aircraft was going under repair to it's landing gear, while one Mirage was lost earlier due to a flame out, hence not a single Mirage was lost during the whole conflict. Thus the image bursts the Indian claims and exposes their propaganda war.
