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.

    It used to be part of Pakistan actually.

    Literally wtf are you trying to say here? Yeah, Bangladesh was Pakistan once but that was decades and decades ago. It’s not at all relevant anymore today.

    They supported the taliban and are why the taliban took back control and brutally subjugated all the women again.

    True, but recently, Taliban is breaking ties with Pakistan and creating ties with India. Might wanna read this and this. Also India supported the brutal fascism in Bangladesh, but that gets a pass, I guess?

    Note how there are no Hindu communities in Pakistan, because during paritition they were expelled or massacred.

    Not entirety true, 2% of their population is still Hindu. And yeah, they are also not in great shape. But India is doing the same with their minorities. Why are you blaming only one but not the other?

    India is literally the only democracy around.

    Yeah, but not quite. India’s democracy has been backsliding hard

    Pakistan is a nation of terrorists, which is why they hid bin ladin. They get what they deserve

    Ah yes. They hid bin Laden in back in 11, so Pakistan, their entire nation and population are still terrorists now. Meanwhile ignore all of India’s wrong doings.

    I don’t wanna devolve this thread into whataboutism, so the bottom line, both countries are shits. I don’t know much about Pakistan’s politics now but democratically it’s not good yes. But India right now is a literal segregating fascist state.

      They not only held Bin Laden in 2011, but brought back Sajad Mir from the dead in 2022. He was one of the key conspirators of the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Look up how Pakistan first denied he existed, then denied he was alive, and then finally brought him back from the dead after 14 years.

      Pakistan has actually been democratizing these past few years, so at this rate they’ll be more of a democracy than India.
