Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan has categorically denied Pakistan's assertion of shooting down six Indian fighter jets, including Rafales, during the May 2025 conflict. He labeled these claims as "absolutely incorrect," emphasizing that while India did experience early losses, the Indian Air Force swiftly adapted its tactics, executing precise strikes deeper into Pakistani territory without crossing nuclear thresholds. General Chauhan highlighted that the focus should be on the strategic lessons learned and the rectification of tactical errors, rather than on unverified numerical claims. He also dismissed former U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks about the conflict nearly escalating to a nuclear confrontation. The operation, known as Operation Sindoor, showcased India's resilience and strategic adaptability in the face of challenges. (PC: Mint)
