The most believable version of events is that the Bison went after an F-16 of unknown mark and downed it with an R-73 but was then in turn shot down by an AIM-120C5 launched by a second F-16. Although I must admit that AMRAAM fragment doesn’t look like it came from a missile that actually detonated.
serious doubts about that as everyone has a smartphone and recording everything. There is even a video of the mig21 being hit and the landing of the Indian pilot. Plus there is no wreckage of any type of an F16. Just 1 fragment of an Aim120.
Besides if PAF did lose an F16, the Americans would be all over pakistan right now. It is interesting how even the rank and name of the supposed pilot is known yet PAF can someone deny it and the family is silent...
time will tell I guess
