Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh has confirmed that the Indian Air Force destroyed five Pakistani fighter jets and one surveillance aircraft during Operation Sindoor. Strikes hit major airfields, command centres and radar sites, with minimal civilian damage. Singh credited the S-400 defence system, precise long-range weapons, and full political backing for the operation’s success. The high-intensity conflict lasted less than four days before Pakistan sought talks, marking a rare public disclosure of detailed operational results.
