An F-16 Again Shoots-Down A MiG With A BVR Missile & Opposition Cries Foul? Is The History Repeating

History has repeated itself and that too only in a span of one year. The Armenian Defence Ministry claimed its Su-25 has been shot down by Turkish F-16s in an ongoing conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. And who would have forgotten the Pakistani F-16 shooting down another Russian-origin MiG of the Indian Air Force?

On February 2019, India accused Pakistan of shooting down its Mig-21 Bison using an F-16 fighter. Following a deadly attack in the Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir that killed 40 Central Reserve Police Force personnel, India launched a ‘surgical strike’ in Balakot. Indian warplanes crossed the border and dropped bombs claiming to destroy terror infrastructure.
This was followed by dogfight between the American-origin F-16 which were a part of Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and Russian Mig-21 Bison of Indian Air Force (IAF).
