P.S.: While no foriegn media outlet has, as yet, endorsed the HT report ("not aware"), citing a "statement" from Pentagon that doesn't appear to exist, by picking it up, The Print, in India, has gone a step further ahead, by providing this caption: 'Haven’t counted Pakistan’s F-16s, says Pentagon after US magazine claimed it did' (ref.: <https://theprint.in/defence/not-aware-of-probe-into-pakistan-f-16-count-after-dogfight-with-iaf-says-us-defence-dept/217733/>).
[<<A US ***defence department spokesman*** [emphasis added] told Hindustan Times in a statement that they, the department, “weren’t aware of any investigation like that”, that was said to have been conducted, according to unidentified defence officials cited in the FP report, and referred this reporter to the Department of State.>>
(The state department refused to comment.)
(The state department refused to comment.)
Compare this with:
<<Foreign policy magazine cited a senior US defence official to say the physical count was conducted at the invitation of Pakistan. And it took a while because not all aircraft were immediately available for inspection due to the conflict.
The report went on to quote an ***unidentified senior defense official*** [emphasis added], “all aircraft were present and accounted for”. It cited a second official, who knew of the count, to say no Pakistani F-16s were missing.>>
In both the cases, the concerned officials are unnamed.
So, eventually, it's an issue of comparative credibility.
The HT, moreover, refers to a "statement".
The official site just doesn't have any: <https://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/>.
On top of that, the HT claims:
<<US government’s position appears to be in line with India, which in the backdrop of the attack, has reaffirmed its account of the downing of the Pakistani F-16, citing “electronic signature” as evidence.>>
That's quite fantastic.
What makes it so appear???
So, it's the question of credibility.
Of course, "not aware" is sort of evasive.

‘Not aware’: Pentagon on Pak F-16 count after Feb aerial dogfight with IAF
The US government’s position appears to be in line with India, which in the backdrop of the attack, has reaffirmed its account of the downing of the Pakistani F-16, citing “electronic signature” as evidence.

Even the fake name is fake!
It's not Ijaz Ud Din.
It's Shahzaz Ud Din.
LOL!
Never mind.
The fake story has been busted more than once.
A sample:
I. "This leads us to believe that the story about a (fictitious) third son called Wing Commander Shahzaz Ud Din has been made up by using the identity of Air Marshal Waseem Uddin as an inspiration."
II. "Newslaundry confirmed Mehar’s identity with Pakistani journalists. Salman Masood, editor of The Nation, an English daily in Islamabad, told Newslaundry: "According to my official sources, the picture of the pilot which is being circulated as the F-16 pilot is a picture of Group Captain Agha Mehar, who has never flown an F-16 in his career."
"The same photograph is used in this blog, which details Shahzad-ud-Din’s “martyrdom” on February 27, using the same inaccuracies found in Khalid Umar’s Facebook post."
(Ref.: <https://www.newslaundry.com/2019/03/05/why-claims-about-the-paf-pilots-lynching-dont-add-up>.)
That the Lie Manufacturing Machines are desperately spreading this already busted Lie tells its own tale.
