India's Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh announced on Friday that Pakistani military assets, such as American F-16s and Chinese J-17 fighter jets, were eliminated in Operation Sindoor. The air force chief confirmed evidence of strikes against one AEW&C aircraft and four to five combat planes. Singh dismissed claims of Indian aircraft losses as false propaganda meant to deceive Pakistani citizens.
The military leader revealed Pakistan requested a ceasefire after sustaining significant damage from precision Indian strikes spanning 300 kilometers. Operation Sindoor targeted terror infrastructure across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack. Indian forces destroyed nine militant camps and eliminated more than 100 terrorists.
Singh stated the armed forces received clear objectives and completed them within the designated timeframe. He emphasized India's air defense systems successfully intercepted all hostile projectiles and unmanned aircraft. The chief noted preparations for future conflicts continue under a modernization plan extending to 2047.
