New Delhi (Oct 4): India has once again exposed Pakistan's false claims regarding 'Operation Sindoor,' where Pakistan claimed it suffered no losses, asserted all damage was inflicted on India, and declared itself the victor. Indian Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh revealed, "During this operation, India shot down 12-13 Pakistani Air Force fighter jets, including US-made F-16s and Chinese J-17s. Pakistan was brought to its knees in a single night.

"While it is not new that Indian missiles destroyed Pakistani aircraft, it is significant that the Air Force Chief has, for the first time, disclosed the exact number of aircraft destroyed. Speaking to reporters on Friday, he said, "During Operation Sindoor, we destroyed F-16 and J-17 aircraft that were either flying in Pakistani airspace or grounded for repairs.

Additionally, Pakistan’s radar systems, command and control centers, runways, hangars, and other military infrastructure were demolished. We also neutralized their surface-to-air missile systems."Dismissing Pakistan’s claim of shooting down several Indian fighter jets, including Rafales, with sarcasm, he retorted, "Pakistan is deceiving its own citizens." He further emphasized, "Future wars will differ from past conflicts. They will be short and target-focused.
