BBC Verify locates footage of crashed fighter jets published at 09:01
Officials in Islamabad have claimed that Pakistani forces shot down five Indian fighter jets on Wednesday morning. India has so far declined to comment.
But BBC Verify has authenticated three videos which purport to show the wreckage of a French-manufactured Rafale fighter - which are used by the Indian Air Force.

A field in Bathinda with wreckage of a French-manufactured Rafale fighter
In one clip - geolocated by BBC Verify to a field near the city of Bathinda in India's Punjab state - troops can be seen collecting debris from the crashed jet.
We have also located two further clips from the same location filmed at night. One shows debris in the field, while another shows a projectile catching fire in the sky, and then fire in an open field.
Justin Crump, a former British Army Officer who runs the risk intelligence company Sibylline, told BBC Verify the wreckage appears to be a French air-to-air missile of a type used on both Mirage 2000 and Rafale fighter jets.
Another image circulating on social media shows a tail fin with “BS001” and “Rafale” inscribed on it. Google reverse image searches don’t show any old versions of the image.
Got dumped on by Western Media again
Huge hit in Rajahstan, AD or depot got hit. I suspect Pakistan is destroying air defences along the border, as Paki aircraft are not blessed with good SEAD. Could be a plan to achieve air superiority as we can see Indian Air force is dysfunctional and only India-Isreali air defences can protect their ground forces. If India doesn't start moving its air defences around, it is going to be a slaughter for Indian ground forces.
Getting major “why did you redeem it energy” on Twitter right now.
On serious note, the Indian spokesperson was wise not to outright lie about the aircraft crash. That would have destroyed the little credibility they still had.
Jammu, Pathankot, Samba, Akhnoor are still being hit by drones. I suspect, only in places where BARAK 8 is placed, there are interceptions. Smallish drones (slightly bigger than lancet) cannot be intercepted by any Indian systems other than BARAK 8. (Due to Israel having to deal with these types of drones). (Jai hinds are losing their mind and are saying they are intercepting 99% of it, keep in mind when an AD system intercepts something it isn't a HUGE explosion.)
”It's uncertain until the IAF or Dassault admits it. ahhhhhhhhhhh“
can you stop using paki it is considered a racial slur in many places.
Especially used by Indians to denigrate their neighbors. Best avoided.
