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.

    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 can see you’ve never come across Pakistani/Hindu nationalists online. My impressions so far are: they are angry, hate each other, lie like russians and tens (maybe even hundreds) of millions of them speak English. :D good luck

        Oh, I know about a lot of these long term rivalries. It’s less clear which ones the liberal West will support in this case, though.

            Sorry, I used “liberal” too liberally. The progressive West, then.

            They’re both brown and follow religions that are in the minority in the West, even if massively popular in that region.

              Still India. India is currently aiding in the destruction of too many industries in western economies to be treated as anything other than an ally; in short if the west treats India as hostile the companies that own the governments in the west start changing those governments.

            Pakistan has been largely aligned with the west for the most part. Think they are again with Khan out as PM.
