No ... They have always been saying it's 2... One is mig-21 and another is su-30 mki... only the pilot count changed from 3-2-1..
That's coz the idiots equated the 3 pilots to 2 IAF jets. When they realized two of the 3 pilots were bbqd flying pigs they retracted their statement but stuck to 2 jets to retain deniability. I still think the F-16 that went down was either an F-16 B or D two seater variant. 1 ejected and died at their CMH and the other burnt up with the jet.
I put this out earlier but I'll say it again; this video is the most clinching evidence we have.
There are two very interesting things captured in this video. One at the 8 second mark just as the camera zooms in an object flips off the burning jet. Slow down to .25x and raise the contrast on your screen, it's unmistakable. That object to me is the freaking canopy getting jettisoned.
The second is the ejection sounds, two of em! The first sound follows a clear distortion in the smoke coming off the burning jet. The second sound follows a second or two later but you won't see the seat ejection per se. My theory: the second ejection failed, rocket motor kicked in but somehow the mechanism appears to have failed. Alternatively, if you were consider time delays between the images and the sound then the first sound was most likely the canopy motors and the second likely the single pilot ejecting. Either which way the canopy jettisoning cannot be from any jet in IAF or PAF inventory other than the F-16.
If someone has forensic video analysis software, we can clean up the images and nail the goat fackers once and for all.
