ISLAMABAD/WASHINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) - A top Chinese-made Pakistani fighter plane shot down at least two Indian military aircraft on Wednesday, two U.S. officials told Reuters, marking a major milestone for Beijing’s advanced fighter jet.

An Indian Air Force spokesperson said he had no comment when asked about the Reuters report.

    They should stop escalating this folly.

    It would be a major victory for a dozen terrorists, if they managed to provoke two large countries into an actual war, and currently this seems to be happening.

    A dozen guys with rifles, murdering 26 civilians, have caused two countries to wreck billions worth of equipment and one of them to play games with a large river too.

    This is not supposed to be possible. If this is possible, it’s proof that terrorism works. :(

    Finally we can fight about something other than the Israeli-Gaza conflict.

      Nothing to fight about on that. The Zionists are committing a genocide against Palestinians because they want to steal their land.

      There is no Israel-Gaza conflict. Surely you’ve meant the Zionist genocide of Palestinians?

    I really hope this wakes them up.

    India is in a really bad neighborhood but their defense industry is corrupt beyond reason.

    They need to fix it so they can be as powerful as they should be given their shitty neighbors.
