 "‘Fanciful stories’: IAF chief dismisses Pakistan’s claim of downing 6 Indian fighter jets")
Indian Air Force chief Aman Preet Singh has dismissed Pakistan’s claim of downing six Indian fighter planes as ‘fanciful stories’. He said Pakistani military tells such stories to their public to save face.
In his first press conference since Operation Sindoor, Indian Air Force chief Amar Preet Singh dismissed Pakistan’s claim of downing six Indian fighter planes as “fanciful stories”. Instead, he said that India downed at least four to five Pakistani fighters that “most likely” included US-made F-16.
Speaking about Pakistan’s claims, Sing said, “If they think that they have took down my 15 aircraft, let them think. I won’t speak anything. Have you seen any picture which can establish their narrative?”
Switching to Hindi, Singh further said, “These are their fanciful stories (manohar kahaniyan). Let them tell these stories to their public to save their face.”
In his speech, Singh said that India’s strikes forced Pakistan to request a ceasefire and seek an end to hostilities. He said that India began its strikes with very clear objectives and opted for a ceasefire once those objectives were achieved.
Singh said, “This was one war that was started with a very clear objective, and it was dominated in a quick time without prolonging it”
Singh further said that “we could make them reach a stage where they asked for a ceasefire, ask for termination of hostilities, and we took a call as a nation to terminate those hostilities because our own objectives are met”.
