This article is written in Indian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, analysed, defence) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

On 12 December 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to Indian Air and Space Force. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Citation needed

I believe citations are needed for the following statements.

The serial number printed on that AMRAAM turned out to be the one which was sold to Taiwan. The US-based Foreign Policy magazine, quoting unnamed US officials, reported in April 2019 that an audit didn't find any Pakistani F-16s missing.
