Sources told India Today that technical analysis of operational data confirms that six fighter aircraft belonging to the Pakistan Air Force were shot down during the air battles.

India’s military has acknowledged for the first time that an unspecified number of its fighter jets were shot down during strikes on Pakistani-controlled territory amid intense fighting between the neighbors in early May.

Reportedly, technical analysis of operational data confirms that six fighter aircraft belonging to the Pakistan Air Force were downed during the air battles. One high-value platform — believed to be either an electronic warfare or an Airborne Early Warning or Control Aircraft — was hit by a long-range precision strike using the S-400 missile system at a distance of around 300 kilometers.
