After a lot of bickering between Pakistan and India, India decided it would send their aircraft to attack regions within Pakistan to prove their air superiority. On February 27, 2019 Pakistan initiated Operation Swift Retort and encountered Indian Air Force Aircraft. Over the Kashmir region the PAF F-16 92731 piloted by Wing Commander Noman Ali Khan encountered the IAF MiG-21 CU2328 piloted by Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman and fired an AIM-120 missile. Later the F-16 received a kill mark located on the side of the fuselage near the left nose cone. F-16 92731 was produced in August 1993.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine fighter aircraft built by General Dynamics, that later became Lockheed Martin. Originally designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multi-role aircraft that can perform various kinds of missions. First flown on January 20, 1974, the F-16 entered operational service with the USAF in January of 1979. It has an internal M61 Vulcan 20mm cannon and multiple locations for mounting missiles, bombs and other mission equipment. Although it is no longer being purchased by the USAF, improved versions of the F-16 are still being produced for export customers. Over 4,500 F-16s have been built for the U.S. Air Force and the air forces of twenty-five other nations.
