On February 27, the ministry of external affairs confirmed that India had lost a MiG-21 Bison aircraft during an air-to-air engagement with the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jets following the non-military, pre-emptive air strikes in Balakot

The ministry of external affairs on Wednesday India had lost a MiG-21 Bison fighter aircraft during an air-to-air engagement with Pakistan Air Force jets following the non-military, pre-emptive air strikes in Balakot. It also said that the pilot was “missing in action”.  

Indian Air Force (IAF) on Tuesday destroyed Jaish-e-Mohammad’s biggest camp, which had the facility to accommodate almost 600 terrorists at a time with all resort-like amenities

While India has confirmed that a pilot of MiG-21 Bison that was involved in thwarting an attack by PAF is missing and that the IAF has shot down a Pakistani F-16, the MEA is yet to ascertain the facts pertaining to pilot Abhinandan Varthaman
 

More than anything else, the spirited move to deploy IAF aircraft into enemy territory in Balakot is seen as a brave one, and reflective of the Narendra Modi government's keenness to safeguard Indian citizens from Pakistan-trained terrorists

The Indian Air Force used their multiple assets to carry out a strike at a terror facility at Pakistan's Balakot area on Tuesday, which killed 300 Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists, trainers and commanders

India continues to get global support for aerial action against terror camps across LoC and in Pakistan's Balakot in which 12 Mirage 2000 jets killed over 300 terrorists and destroyed a munition dump and training facilities
