Okay let's assume those recounts are accurate and honest.
The second aircraft was never identified correct? Therefore isn't there a 50% chance the second aircraft was an Indian Su-30MKI?
Now let's consider the following information ( I grant they are not facts since the Americans
can in fact lie here and may ).
- Russia never issued a statement saying all Su-30MKIs are accounted for. Okay that's because India operates and owns the Su-30MKI to a greater degree than Pakistan owns and is allowed to operate their F-16s. But this is still something to remember.
- The US insists all F-16 in PAF are accounted for and none were shot down by India.
- The wreckage fell on Indian side according to eye witnesses.
- If the wreckage was F-16 or any PAF aircraft, India would have said at moments notice... in fact India is and was so low as to claim the Indian Mig-21 shot down was a Pakistani aircraft... blatantly untrue. Only party to have been caught with a lie... whatever media this that blame it on whoever but India behaves like a headless chicken correct? after all it did blurt out bullshit that makes it look good as soon as it has an opportunity even when it is untrue.
- The wreckage if it was Su-30, the Indians would stfu which they have done exactly.
- The Indians placed an order for one extra Su-30MKI months after for no reason. Why place one extra order for Su-30MKI? Yes you guys made 100 excuses and invented 100 reasons for this. I understand.
- The Indians lost two Su-30MKI "staff" they didn't disclose the nature of the staff but they reported the loss of two "staff"... the Su-30MKI is a tandem seater.
All the evidence would indicate the second aircraft (if there was one) was Indian and not Pakistani. The wreckage didn't fall in Pakistan and both sides hint or basically outright said (Pakistan) and tacitly agreed (India) that the wreckage fell in India.
These are the useful observations and information out there. I won't mention the Aim-120 missile wreck the Indians retrieved because that could have been from anything who knows.
However on the note of missiles, all of Mig-21's missiles were recovered mostly intact showing they were not fired... and yet the Indians dared to claim they shot down a F-16 using one of those Mig-21's missiles fired from that Mig-21.
Again Indians caught in yet another important lie on this matter.
