Recently, news has emerged about the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan, with the Indian Air Force (IAF) openly acknowledging that it sustained losses during the recent exchange of fire with Pakistan. However, they have not specified the exact details of the damage. According to reports from international news agencies like Reuters, the Indian Air Force stated that such losses are part of warfare, but they did not reveal the number of aircraft lost or the extent of the damage.
An Indian official during a press conference was asked how many of their aircraft were shot down and what damages were incurred during the fight with Pakistan. The officials admitted that there were losses but chose not to provide concrete figures. Just hours after India announced its plans to launch attacks in Pakistan, four Indian officials in occupied Jammu and Kashmir informed Reuters that three Indian fighter jets had been destroyed in the clashes.
On the other hand, the Pakistan Army’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) director general, Major General Ahmed Sharif Choudhry, confirmed that Pakistan’s Air Force successfully shot down five Indian aircraft. He further clarified that all Pakistani pilots have returned safely after the combat.
