Anubis here is quote from AFM special on F-16 magazine
From the AFm special on the F-16
“While Israeli and American combat operations with the F-16 tend to grab the headlines, other nations have used the aircraft to great effect. Pakistani Air Force F-16s shot down a number of aircraft that had violated Pakistan’s airspace during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan during the mid-1980S following the 1979 Soviet invasion. These victories included a Sukhoi Su-22 confirmed as shot down by a 9 Squadron F-16 on May 17, 1986, plus a second probable kill. No.14 Squadron, based at Kamra, also claimed some kills, which included one Su-22 and a Mikoyan MiG- 23 on April 22, 1987. On August 4, 1988, a 14 Squadron F-16A shot down a Sukhoi Su-25 Frogfoot when the Soviet aircraft violated Pakistan airspace. Pakistan is also reported to have suffered four F-16 losses in aerial combat, a single aircraft to a Soviet MiG-23MLD on September 12, 1988, and three aircraft to Indian Air Force Mirage 2000s and a MiG-29 during May 1999.”
Pretty sure we didn’t shoot down any Pakistani planes in Kargil.
