Indian Air Chief Claims Downing Six Pakistani Jets — Three Months After Conflict
indian a surprising post-conflict statement, the Indian Air Chief has claimed that the Indian Air Force (IAF) shot down six Pakistani fighter jets during the recent military confrontation between the two countries. The claim comes three months after the conflict officially ended, raising questions about its timing and authenticity.
Speaking to Indian media, the Air Chief stated that the IAF “responded with full force” and successfully eliminated six enemy aircraft during the escalation. However, no visual evidence, satellite imagery, or independent verification has been provided to support the claim.
Pakistan has not issued an official response to the statement yet, but defense sources in Islamabad have rejected the claim as baseless and fictitious, calling it another attempt at misleading the public and inflating military achievements without proof.
Defense analysts and international observers have also expressed skepticism, questioning why such a significant military success was not announced at the time of the conflict. Some believe the claim may be aimed at domestic political consumption or to boost morale within the Indian ranks.
On social media, the claim has sparked intense debate, with many users demanding evidence and pointing to past instances where similar claims by Indian officials were later debunked.
