In a significant development, India's Chief of Defence Staff, General Anil Chauhan, has publicly acknowledged that Indian fighter jets were lost during the recent conflict with Pakistan, known as Operation Sindoor. This marks the first official confirmation from the Indian military regarding such losses.
General Chauhan, speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, emphasized the importance of understanding the reasons behind the losses rather than focusing on the number of aircraft downed. He stated, "What is important is not the jet being down, but why they were being down," highlighting the need to analyze and rectify tactical mistakes. He dismissed Pakistan's claim of shooting down six Indian warplanes as "absolutely incorrect" but chose not to disclose the exact number of jets lost.
The conflict, which escalated in May 2025 following a terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir, saw intense aerial engagements between the two nations. India conducted airstrikes targeting what it described as terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan. In response, Pakistan claimed to have downed multiple Indian aircraft, including advanced Rafale jets.
General Chauhan noted that after the initial setbacks, the Indian Air Force quickly adapted its tactics. He mentioned that the force understood the tactical mistakes made, remedied them, and resumed operations with improved strategies, including long-range targeting.
Both countries have since declared a ceasefire, with no indications of nuclear escalation during the conflict. However, the situation remains tense, and the international community continues to monitor developments closely.
