He is quite correct. Those claims that the wreckage was from an F-16 are just ridiculous!



You can see the same internal construction in the following video showing the wreckage of a Yugoslav MiG-21bis.



The claims also extend to the MiG-21 wreckage as being from an F-16. It is clearly the tail section of a MiG-21. They are trying to claim that the circled part shows the serial of a Pakistani F-16. No F-16 is constructed like that!



In fact there is a serial visible on that wreckage and it is on the inside of the inspection panel. You can just make out CU-2XXX. (Other figures obscured). The MiG-21 That was shot down was serial CU-2328. I've ringed it in yellow and turned the image 180.



See following video showing the wreckage of the Indian MiG-21. See at 1:14 and 1:55 for the wreckage that is being ludicrously claimed as a Pakistani F-16.
