A Taliban-made propoganda clip showcasing a Stinger missile hit that is advertised as being an F-16. Though It might be a Chinese SA-7, and the footage might be from the Soviet-Afghan War.

No reported lost of a F-16 in Afghanistan as of yet.

The title of this thread is a truckload of bullshyt.

That video was post on October 26 2006. 5 months ago. Where are the mainstream news reports about this?

Several of the more astute commenters have pointed out that the SAM in question is an SA-7.

However one of those fools claims that an SA-7 shot down an A-10 in the Balkans.

Nothing like the power of positive thinking.
