At the same time, some Twitter users questioned Jandyal’s claims and argued that the footage actually shows the pilot of the downed Indian MiG-21 who was swiftly detained by Pakistan and is due to be released later on Friday.

The statement came as the Indian armed forces displayed what it claims is part of the AMRAAM missile fired from an F-16 which was recovered from Rajouri in Kashmir.
The air battle took place on 27 February after India carried out an airstrike against a Jaish-e-Mohammad training facility in Kashmir. The strike followed India blaming Pakistan for being responsible for the 14 February deadly bombing in Kashmir which killed 40 Indian paramilitary officers.
