As these are Pakistani soldiers taking pictures, and Pakistan denies an F-16 was shot down, I think we can assume that the pictures would not have made it past their censors had it been an F-16. | |

| Feb 28, 2019 at 14:03 | comment | added | Pranab | The only five aircraft expected in the area are Mig-21, F-16, JF-17, Mirage and Su-30MKII. Out of this, based on publicly available details, the chief suspects are MiG21-Bis and F-16. Are there US vs Soviet construction details, materials, etc? In the linked video there is a drop-tank being loaded into the truck, which is claimed to be only compatible with certain aircraft. I'm looking for someone familiar with these types of aircraft to comment. | |

| Feb 28, 2019 at 13:02 | comment | added | Notts90 | Questions about ongoing crash investigations are normally off topic, I think this might just be on topic because it’s an identify from photo question. That said, I think based on the quality of the photos and the background answers are most likely to be speculation, so I’ve flagged as opinion based. | |

the incident is not ongoing, as it happened in the past. rather the investigation/discussion about it is ongoing

| Feb 28, 2019 at 10:00 | comment | added | Penguin | I’d say it’s unlikely the item in the top pic is the compressor case, as pictures of accidents I have seen, the engines have been pretty much intact, even though badly damaged. There’s lots of bolts on the flanges of a case. For it come completely off, would be very unusual, IMHO. Basically, I feel your question is impossible to answer, given a single picture and the large degree of damage, rendering identification a complete guess. | |
