PAF Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed has provided the locations of the five downed Indian fighter jets.

“These are the locations with the range bearing electronic ID. We are sure that a Mig-29 was shot down eight miles from the Line of Control (LoC) at a bearing of 243, 20 nautical miles from Srinagar,” he said in the press briefing.

He added that a Su-30 MKI was shot at a bearing of 192, 25 miles from the LoC.

He continued that an Indian Rafale was shot at bearing 144, 54 miles from Srinagar.

“We have exact range bearings because when the missile is getting active, you know exactly when the blip is disappearing. None of the claims has any fat in them, so they are pretty concise and accurate,” he added.

He also shared the audio of an Indian Rafale formation that lost one of its members when they were shot down.
