Pakistan's Defense Minister, Khawaja Asif, has responded to India's claims of shooting down Pakistani jets by challenging both countries to conduct an independent verification of their current aircraft inventories.
In his statement, Asif said that India had not destroyed or downed a single Pakistani aircraft. He criticized the delayed claims made by the Indian Air Force chief, calling them both irrational and poorly timed, as no such assertion had been made for three months.
He noted that Pakistan had promptly briefed the international media in detail, providing technical evidence, while neutral observers acknowledged the des-truction of multiple Indian aircraft, including Rafales.
