I wish all Hindu's spoke the truth about the incident just like Abhinandhan did. Respect to his honesty.

No F-16s was shot down, conformed by US. Indians lost 1 Mig, 1 helicopter and one pow. Everything confirmed with videos.

He said I couldn’t find a target and then listen to what you saying… you should be in a Bollywood movie and then you will get an award as well for lying

[aroundtheworld]

ABINANDAN WILL FEEL SHAMEFUL AFTER LISTENING INDIAN MEDIA 😅😅😅😅

[doctorzero]

Award for being arrested sum for nothing 😂

[saurabhrelekar]

Whole movie..."Mission Valentine" in 4.41 minutes 💥💯

The bottom line is that India lost an obsolete MIG21 while Pakistan lost 5% of its air power. If IAF can do this with an obsolete aircraft, Imagine what it will do with Rafael and Tajes.

I just see the humiliation of India in this video

The 2nd Gen Bison lacks any capability against 4th gen fighters and is a support fighter not an air superiority fighter, has a quarter of the thrust (power). I’m just wondering why not use newer Migs or Sukhoi ??

[danishkhan]

Not a single Pakistani jet was shot down . . It was comprehensively accepted by international media and the neutral observers as F16 was not even participated in these standoff of Feb2019.
Indian airforce should accept their defeat gracefully, and teach their government not to try adventures with Pakistan, otherwise Pakistani army would have to rescue their fallen pilots again from angry mob.

[arashamiri]

There's an international report. Pakistan didn't lose any f16. Just 1 Crow was killed. He thought of pcrow as f16 😊😊😊

[mdrasel-nbrh]

He was shot down and captured. Pak showed mercy and released him.
How brave he was!!!????
Fools....

[apachetamizha]

One of my role model and inspiration jai hind 😊

[MuhammadJaved-fvnm]

He should not be given gallantry award for shooting F16 after confirmation of not being shot down by USA. He should have been given medal for crossing border line to become a pray so that your 3rd highest gallantry award's respect could be maintained...

[gaganborah]

I think thought of India Today is changing day by day, can India Today today accept the fact that Abhinandan shot down Pakistani F -16 ?😂😂😂😂

[mohammedishaaq]

Indian media is just like indian movies 😂😂😂
