14. Officer in back looks a lot like this one here, reportedly Wing Commander Shahzaz Ud Din. If true then, previous picture shows his father and him together in a ceremony taking delivery of Blk 52 MLU. Possible same type shot down by IAF.

18. This picture is from PAF base Sargodha. 5th pilot from left looks quite a bit like Wg Co Shahzad (see 14th tweet). Is it just me or does anyone else see any similarity too ?
Only speculation as of now. No definite proof:
1. Downed F-16 was a twin seater with 1 Paki and 1 Saudi/Jordanian pilot.
2. 1 pilot who was reportedly lynched was probably the foreigner one. Paki died in crash.
3. Fits in with reports of 3 parachute sightings & some rumours

20. These pictures were uploaded by a pakistani journalist from Bhimber, PoK on 27th Feb. SFM ASSY can be Sensor Fuzed Munition Assembly. It seems to be a dual rack system. But I can't find anything which matches.
21. Debris in previous tweet is from Denel's Raptor II drone integrated on Pakistani Mirages. There've been no reports of it's integration on F-16s. But it seems odd why the pilot would dump such an expensive equipment so far inside own territory.
