BBC Verify locates footage of crashed fighter jets

 

 

Officials in Islamabad have claimed that Pakistani forces shot down five Indian fighter jets on Wednesday morning. India has so far declined to comment.

But BBC Verify has authenticated three videos which purport to show the wreckage of a French-manufactured Rafale fighter - which are used by the Indian Air Force.

 

In one clip - geolocated by BBC Verify to a field near the city of Bathinda in India's Punjab state - troops can be seen collecting debris from the crashed jet.

We have also located two further clips from the same location filmed at night. One shows debris in the field, while another shows a projectile catching fire in the sky, and then fire in an open field.

Justin Crump, a former British Army Officer who runs the risk intelligence company Sibylline, told BBC Verify the wreckage appears to be a French air-to-air missile of a type used on both Mirage 2000 and Rafale fighter jets.

Another image circulating on social media shows a tail fin with “BS001” and “Rafale” inscribed on it. Google reverse image searches don’t show any old versions of the image.

We have lost atleast 1 Rafale Jet. So Indian twitter accounts were the ones circulating fake news of the old versions of the image.:dissapointed:
