year will end with JF-17 and F-16 gone too, inshallah
Even if a F-16 crashes its unlikely the PAF reveal it, unless it crashes in a populated area and is caught on camera.

Copying from my earlier post in another thread:

The PAF and their F-16 fleet size is a black box which they only know of. How many planes are currently operational how many are lost in accidents is a mystery.

Between the 8 year period between 1986 to 1994 the PAF lost 8 F-16s in "accidents". This includes one which might have been shot down by a Russian Mig-23 but is counted as a own goal by another F-16.

For 15 years between 1994 to 2009 the PAF lost only 1 F-16 in an accident.

For the next 10 years between 2009 and 2019 not a single one was lost.

Interesting point to note during the 1980s-90s the PAF only had 34-45 F-16s and the maximum attrition rate along with a full supply of spares and support from the US.

When the numbers went by to 70+ the attrition rate became nearly zero and during this period it was under sanctions and spare part supplies were stopped. So 1 lost in 25 years with 70+ operational and 8 lost in 8 years with average of 40 operational.

The average annual attrition for the worldwide F-16 fleet is 0.33% for the PAF its claimed to be less than 0.05% :biggrin2:. Despite having extended periods of no access to spare parts and heavy usage their attrition rate is 1/7th of F-16s users like the USAF, Israel, Norway ! The earlier Block 10/15 models which make up more than 50% of the PAFs fleet have even higher average annual attrition numbers in western nations!

There is video of the Tornado being shot down by a missile. However, the Saudis and many media outlets report that it simply “crashed”. Many such videos of Arab coalition shootdowns exist. In today’s day and age of cameras, FLIR and internet its almost impossible to hide these incidents. It’s difficult to mascaraed aircraft shoot downs as simply mechanical faults or pilot error. It makes one wonder how many aircraft were shot down and covered up before the age of smartphone and internet.

Video link of the shoot down.
