India says he shot down an F-16 first; Pakistan denies using or losing an F-16, and a US count reported in the press found Pakistan&rsquo;s F-16s accounted for. The same morning an IAF Mi-17 was shot down over Budgam by an Indian surface-to-air missile; the Air Chief called it a big mistake in October 2019.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"cwar\">Outcome<\/span> Pakistan released Wg Cdr Abhinandan Varthaman on 1 March 2019; both sides claimed success.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ccav\">Every claim here is attributed; neither the Indian F-16 claim nor the Pakistani Su-30 claim has been independently confirmed.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<dl class=\"cdl\">\n<dt>Flying for<\/dt>\n<dd>Indian Air Force<\/dd>\n<dt>Where<\/dt>\n<dd>Balakot (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir<\/dd>\n<dt>Alongside<\/dt>\n<dd>No allied air arm<\/dd>\n<dt>Against<\/dt>\n<dd>Pakistan<\/dd>\n<dt>Aircraft<\/dt>\n<dd>Dassault Mirage 2000, Sukhoi Su-30MKI, MiG-21 Bison, <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/mi-8-hip\/\">Mil Mi-17V-5<\/a><\/dd>\n<dt>Losses<\/dt>\n<dd>6 killed<span class=\"cwho\">India: one MiG-21 lost, pilot captured; one Mi-17V-5 shot down by an Indian missile at Budgam (six airmen killed).

The large air battle that night, with aircraft of both sides firing from long range, is where Pakistan says it shot down Indian jets. After drone and missile exchanges, India said on 10 May that it had struck radar and command sites and the bases at Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala (Nur Khan), Rahimyar Khan, Pasrur and Sialkot; Su-30MKIs fired BrahMos missiles. Pakistan&rsquo;s Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos claimed hits on Indian bases and an S-400, which India denied and rebutted with dated images.

A US official told Reuters with high confidence that J-10s downed at least two Indian jets; the French air chief said he had seen evidence of three (a Rafale, a Mirage 2000 and a Sukhoi).
