It's good to not blindly believe everything you read online. Some points to think over:The crash claims aren't false.
They are backed up by a lot of publicly available information.
Here's PAF F16 fleet by versions with tail numbers.

Here's each aircraft that has crashed with their tail number and version

And these are the air bases and units that one needs to look out for to get a proof that a specific tail number is missing.

- Where is the PAF F-16 Abhinandan shot down?
- Serial 85720 supposedly shot down by his wingman, NYTimes and WashingPost newspapers say it was a Afghan Mig-23 shot it down, who is lying?
- What public information are you talking about? Does each country share with the world how many F-16s it has and how many crashed everyday and its believed to be 100% correct? Then I guess no PAF F-16 has been lost in 10+ years and 1 in 25 years! How is the PAF able to have an attrition rate 1/7th of vastly richer western nations with very little money, high usage and large periods without spares support?
- Read my post from the previous page, NATO spokesperson claims a F-16 crashed due to engine failure, on other page on the same website (F-16.net) it says it was because a missile exploded nearby!
- If this website(F-16.net) is 100% correct then it's best to read everything and believe it: "Before we start analyzing the data, it's important to note that our attrition data for countries like Egypt and Israel are partially incomplete - actual numbers are likely to be higher. Since these countries are below average on this graph and have sizeable inventories, the worldwide fleet average is probably underestimated on this graph."
The website itself claims its not 100% accurate !
