Air Marshal Waqas Ahmed Sulehri, refuting Indian claims that a Pakistani F-16 was shot down by an Indian pilot, Abhinandan Varthamanm, said on Wednesday that international experts and US officials have already confirmed that no Pakistani F-16 was shot down in an aerial dogfight in 2019, according to ARY News.
Air Marshal Waqas Ahmed Sulehri said that Indian pilot Abhinandan was given the ‘Vir Chakra’ for spreading lies during an exclusive interview on ARY News’ powerplay.
In response to Abhinandan’s Vir Chakra award, he claimed, “The PAF had displayed wreckage of Abhinandan’s Mig-21 which had all its missiles intact.”
