Overview

• Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh said Indian forces downed five Pakistani jets of the F-16 and JF-17 classes during four days of fighting in May.
• Singh detailed claimed damage to Pakistani military infrastructure, including radars at four sites, command-and-control at two, runways at two and hangars at three bases.
• He said sensors indicated a hit on a C-130-class aircraft and signs of four to five fighters, likely F-16s under maintenance, at a targeted location.
• Pakistan rejects India’s account and says it shot down six Indian aircraft, including a Rafale, while New Delhi has not released publicly verifiable evidence or a separate government statement supporting Singh’s claims.
• The Press Information Bureau’s fact-check unit flagged and debunked an AI-generated video falsely attributing a threat against Ladakh protesters to the Indian Air Force chief.
