They not even openly admitted it was a JF-17B
Thats why Abinandan's F-16 kill is easy to believe despite not having 100% proof. The PAF has been lying about its losses since inception. When they officially do not name the type of aircraft that crashed in a non-combat related accident why will they admit an embarrassing combat loss to an inferior aircraft?

Reposting from another thread:
Even if a F-16 crashes its unlikely the PAF reveal it, unless it crashes in a populated area and is caught on camera.
The average annual attrition for the worldwide F-16 fleet is 0.33% for the PAF its claimed to be less than 0.05%. 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!

1 lost in 25 years with 70+ operational and 8 lost in 8 years with average of 40 operational.

Heron, Seems like a soft landing.

Correction: It is Searcher-II, the roundish-dome of air intake gives it away.
No need to gloss it sir,
Crash is crash...no shame in it

Aerospace is hard and demands high quality and tech. Experties

Still there cannot be 0% attrition

We are not like insecure girls like Porkistanis who hide every negative news and aspects of their “affwaj”

Not Sure what really happened:

Within hours, the Prosecutor General’s office in Uzbekistan issued a statement saying that an Afghan military plane had collided with an Uzbek plane that was scrambled to escort it to the airport at Termez, a city in Surkhandarya.

The office later retracted that statement, which also alleged that 22 warplanes and 24 military helicopters from Afghanistan carrying 585 servicemen “illegally crossed” into Uzbek airspace over the weekend and were forced by Uzbek authorities to land at Termez.

The Prosecutor General’s office later apologized for a “hasty” statement on the messaging app Telegram and said it was not based “verified data from the relevant authorities.”
