TTP Claim shooting down PAF's F-16

If true, this could be a dangerous trend.

Pakistan Terrorist Group Claims It Shot Down an F-16 | TheBlaze.com

Pakistan’s most dangerous militant group claimed that it shot down a Pakistani military F-16 with a surface-to-air missile Friday taking a number of pictures of the aircraft wreckage, most of which is marked in English and believed to have been sold by the United States to the Pakistani military, TheBlaze has learned.

The Tehreek-i-Taliban, known by its acronym TTP, also confirmed the death of Afghan Taliban commander Hasan Janaza, who they say was killed in a clash with Pakistani security forces in the lawless Federally Administered Tribal Agency (FATA) that borders Afghanistan.

I do not believe it... this news looks more like an Iraqi farmer bringing down a jet fighter with his rifle.

Re: TTP Claim shooting down PAF's F-16

just propaganda
no wreckage anywhere - if it fell down in their territory they would have capitalized on the opportunity by taking pictures showing its a Pakistani F-16
all they are showing are some metal pcs on the ground

These suckers probably played a war themed game on Microsoft Surface and Apple iPad Air. :shikari: Propaganda.

You need very elaborate SAMs (surface-to-air missile systems) to really engage a fighter jet like F-16. :mehr: And even with short range, portable missiles, the aircrafts need to be flying at a very low altitude. But as said above, no mainstream media is reporting this, and one can only hope the opposite is true.

Which is, TTP getting their behinds handed to them with the targeted fighter jet attacks.

Re: TTP Claim shooting down PAF’s F-16

This is just BS. No local news reported it. No such news anywhere on reuters/AP or pakistani papers.
