Pakis closed their airspace to civilian traffic. That actually is not a great sign.

Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority on Wednesday said it had closed the country's airspace to all commercial flights after the military said it shot down two Indian jets amid mounting tensions between the two nuclear rivals.

Pakistan's military earlier Wednesday said it had shot down two Indian aircraft that crossed into Pakistan's side of the disputed Kashmir region. A Pakistan Air Force spokesman, Maj. Gen. Asif Ghafoor, said the air force "shot down two Indian aircrafts inside Pakistani airspace."

But Raveesh Kumar, a spokesman for India's foreign ministry, disputed Pakistan's account, saying in a news briefing that Pakistan's air strikes on military targets had been "foiled," Reuters reported.

Ghafoor said the Pakistani army had an Indian pilot in custody. Ghafoor shared an image of a man, who he said was Indian Wing Comd Abhi Nandan and said he was "being treated as per norms of military ethics." Ghafoor also told The Associated Press that another Indian pilot was injured and was being treated in a military hospital

A representative for India's foreign ministry said that India shot down one Pakistan Air Force plane on Wednesday and that one Indian pilot was "missing in action." He said that Pakistan said it had the pilot in custody and that India would be "ascertaining the facts."

Pakistan International Airlines warned passengers in a Wednesday tweet that Pakistan's air-space closing might affect its flights.

What a bunch of POS we are - we sold the F-16s to the fucking Packis.....American Greed everyone....we sold fighters to a country that consistently operates against our interests....

F-16s are more likely to crash on their own than shoot anything down.

You made the French happy. The PAF getting F-16s was the reason for the IAF to buy the Mirage 2000. I don't know which one is better.

Same concept of a throwaway airframe.

Single engine is indicator number one that this is not a legitimate air superiority fighter.

F-16, Grippen, Mirage 2000. Pretty much the same thing. Between them the only factors that matter are the avionics, possible weapon loads, and the cost.

If the Chinese get involved, the Indians might be fucked unless they go nuclear.

[TheReal_ND]

Who do we support? I heard Israel is backing India and Turkey is backing Pakistan. I personally hope the Pakis get their shit pushed in but they have more experience.

[Speaker to Animals]

If it goes nuclear, I think India will win. If not, China just enters the conflict and India loses.

Personally I lean slightly in favor of the Pakis since the Indians are the instigators this time. But really I don't give a shit if they light each other up at this point. I can't stop them. It's not our business.

How are the Indians instigators when Muslim terrorists blow up innocent people?

On Feb. 14, a suicide bomber in Kashmir drove his explosives-filled vehicle into a bus carrying members of India’s paramilitaries, killing over 40 and injuring dozens more. An Islamist terrorist group, Jaish-e-Muhammad — based in Pakistan though nominally banned by the Pakistani government — reportedly took credit for the attack.
