In a major blow to Pakistan’s air capability, six fighter jets and two surveillance aircraft were reportedly lost during a recent four-day conflict with India. According to defence sources, a detailed technical analysis of operational data confirmed these losses, marking a significant setback for the Pakistan Air Force (PAF).
The confrontation, which unfolded over key sectors along the western front, saw intense aerial engagements between Indian and Pakistani forces. The Indian Air Force (IAF) reportedly executed precision strikes and robust defensive maneuvers, successfully neutralizing several enemy targets.
“All our combat operations were backed by real-time surveillance and coordinated response,” said an official source. The downed aircraft include frontline fighters and high-value surveillance assets that were instrumental in PAF’s tracking operations.
The conflict emerged amid heightened tensions along the border, following multiple ceasefire violations. Indian forces remained on high alert, and the success of the air campaign is being hailed as a strategic and tactical win.
Military analysts believe this development sends a strong signal of deterrence and operational superiority. While India has not officially commented on the specific numbers, the confirmation from credible defence sources highlights the scale of Pakistan’s aerial losses.
