SRINAGAR, AUGUST 09 (STC): In a significant disclosure, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has revealed that six Pakistani aircraft including five fighter jets and an AWACS surveillance plane were destroyed during “Operation Sindoor” – May 7 military offensive launched after the Pahalgam attack.
Air Chief Marshal AP Singh has disclosed said that the Russian-made S-400 missile system played a key role in the aerial kills. He also confirmed that Pakistan Air Force suffered additional losses on the ground in strikes targeting its airbases.
The Air Chief Marshal was speaking at the 16th Air Chief Marshal LM Katre Lecture in Bengaluru.
Calling the downing of the AWACS a “massive blow” to Pakistan’s air strength, the IAF Chief shared satellite images showing the precision of the strikes.
