Operation Sindoor: Pakistan Admits 'Minor Damage' To Aircraft As Indian Air Power Stings

“We don’t have the wreckage as their (PAF) planes were prevented from entering our airspace. But we have downed a few planes. I have the numbers, and we are getting into the technical details to establish it. But I would not like reveal the figure at this time,” said Air Marshal AK Bharti, director general air operations.

Bharti and his counterparts from the two services, Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai and Vice Admiral AN Pramod, briefed journalists on Operation Sindoor –– New Delhi’s direct military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror strike that killed 26 people.

Asked if IAF suffered losses, Bharti said losses were a part of combat without commenting on what aircraft India lost as that information could give advantage to the enemy.
