An image of a fighter plane has been shared on Twitter<\/a> with the claim that the Indian Air Force (IAF) is mocking Pakistan’s claim that four trees and one crow were the only casualties in the 2019 Balakot airstrike. The viral image also has a watermark ‘Bharat Rakshak’ at the bottom.

IAF – thoroughly enjoyable professional force with an admirable sense of humour at official level.<\/p>\n

The adversary admitted that only 4 trees and a crow were the casualties in the Balakot Strike !<\/p>\n

All other trolls (past, present & future) put together – 0<\/p>\n
