'Compromising India's security': Congress targets Centre over US aid to Pakistan's F-16 fleet
Tuesday, 25 February 2025 Congress criticizes Modi government's diplomatic strategy after reports of US military aid to Pakistan for F-16 maintenance. Party spokesperson Pawan Khera highlights concerns about India's security and effectiveness of Modi's diplomacy, urging a reassessment of foreign policy priorities to safeguard national interests.
26-year-old pilot Pavlo Ivanov was tragically killed in the mission, making this the second confirmed F-16 loss in the Ukraine war. However, a major question remains: Who shot it down — Russia or Ukraine itself?
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has demanded a full military report into the incident, as speculation grows over whether this was enemy fire or another deadly case of friendly fire. Russian military blogs claim the jet was downed by a surface-to-air missile (SAM), but Kyiv has not confirmed the cause.
With rising tensions, high-risk air missions, and increasing losses, the F-16 saga raises urgent questions about Ukraine's air defense coordination and battlefield clarity.
