The curious case of three parachutes after aerial-combat over PoK sky

Source:-The curious case of three parachutes after aerial-combat over PoK sky

Shortly after the images of a downed Pakistan Air Force (PAF) F-16 fighter, surfaced online, a video of an eyewitness account from the area over which the dogfight with Indian MIG-21 Bison occurred was accessed by Times Now. A locale who saw the aerial-combat between the fighter jets of the two countries said there were three parachutes in the sky and jets suffered damage.

A MIG-21 Bison has the capacity to carry just one – leading analysts to believe that the other two parachutes belonged to the pilots of the F-16 on which IAF braveheart Abhinandan Varthaman locked his missiles before crash-landing in PoK.

“I was standing on the terrace where I had come for a walk. I heard the sound of firing. Three pilots ejected from the aircrafts. There were three parachutes. One was in the air, while other two pilots other 2 landed around here,” the eye witness told a local news channel. The men who touched had pistols, he added.

The development comes shortly after images of the downed F-16 fighter jet by the Indian Air Force surfaced online. In the photo, officers of Pakistan’s Northern Light Infantry could be seen around the wreckage.
Pakistan on Wednesday said it shot down two Indian jets and took a pilot into custody.

The aerial-combat followed after PAF tried to target military installations inside India and chased the PAF fighter jets back into Pakistan.

The Oryx Handbook of Iranian Drones

Image
The goal of this list is to comprehensively catalogue Iran's past and current inventory of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and their armament. In an effort to streamline the list and avoid unnecessary confusion, this list only includes military drones associated with Iran's defence industry or military-grade UAVs with at least some chance of entering service. Notes:  - If several configurations of a drone with one designation are known, they are added as such.  - The part within the apostrophes refers to other designations or an unofficial designation. -  UAVs that did not enter service or have yet to enter service have been placed in the prototype category. - When a type is dual-capable, it is added in both respective categories. - Dubious claims are referred to as ''claimed to be capable''. - Although several types of Iranian UAVs have been sighted in Syria and Iraq, the foreign service section of this handbook only includes those confirmed to be in s
