India-Pakistan jets clash in one of the largest dogfights in recent history
Fighting between the two nuclear rivals has intensified amid international concerns and calls for cooling off
Some 125 Indian and Pakistani fighter jets battled for over an hour in one of the biggest dogfights in recent history, according to a Pakistani security source quoted by CNN.
If the numbers of aircraft were confirmed, it would make it one of the largest air battles since World War Two.

When I travelled India a decade ago I shared a cabin on a 24 hour train journey with the head of the Indian air force and his father, the former head of the Indian air force, who flew jets in the last Indo-Pakistan war.
That's my story. Thanks for listening.
Did you talk about anything interesting?
We actually talked mostly about South African politics. It was a month before Mandela passed away. They were fascinated to hear about living in SA.
I'm a little surprised that they would share a cabin with a tourist.
And it was a second class cabin. I was equally surprised. They seemed very humble though.
