The Defence Ministry Tuesday trashed Pakistan’s claim of shooting down a Sukhoi-30 aircraft of the IAF during an aerial combat last week, saying the claim appeared to be a cover up for loss of a Pakistani jet during the dogfight.
The Pakistani Air Force carried out an unsuccessful aerial combat on February 27 as a retaliation to India’s strike at a major terrorist training camp of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror group in Pakistan’s Balakot.
Sharing details of Pakistan Air Force’s aerial combat, the ministry said all the Sukhoi-30 aircraft deployed to check Pakistani jets landed back safely.
