The alleged shot of aircraft during the conflict between India and Pakistan raises disputes. India claims that she has achieved success, Pakistan rejects such claims.
India shot down five Pakistani battle fighters and one military plane in May during the conflict between the two countries, said the Commander of the Indian Air Force on Saturday. This is the first such statement by Delhi and comes several months from the end of the dispute. According to Reuters report, TASR reports this.
Most of the Pakistani aircraft were shot down by the Indian anti -aircraft missile system of Russian production, said the representative of the armed forces at an event in the South Indian city of Bengalure. “We have confirmed the destruction of at least five fighters and one large plane,” he said. In his words, it could be a exploratory aircraft. “In fact, this is the largest recorded earth-air disposal,” he said. The Pakistani army did not respond immediately at the request for a comment.
The strikes also hit fighters in hangars
The representative of the army did not mention the type of shot down fighters, but he said that air strikes also hit “several F-16 fighters” in hangars at two air bases in the southeast of Pakistan.
Islamabad, whose air forces are mainly operated by aircraft of Chinese production and American F-16 fighters, had previously denied that India would shoot down any Pakistani plane during the fighting between neighboring nuclear powers, which took place from 7 to 10 May.
Pakistan claims that he shot down six Indian aircraft, including Rafale French production, during the clashes. India admitted some losses, but denied shooting down six aircraft. French aviation commander had already stated that he saw evidence of the loss of three Indian fighters, including Rafale. Indian Aviation did not comment on these claims.
