ISPR endorses PM's claim Pakistan downed six Indian fighter jets

The spokesperson for the Pakistan Army said on Sunday that Pakistan could have destroyed more fighter jets of the Indian Army, but it showed restraint.

According to the Pakistan Army spokesperson, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, India lost six airplanes and an S-400 air defense system in the four-day conflict.

S-400 is Russia’s most advanced surface to air missile system. Among the downed warplanes were several French aircraft Rafale.

Earlier reports suggested India had lost five fighter jets, but Pakistan’s prime minister announced earlier this week that there were six.

“I can confirm that the sixth aircraft is a Mirage 2000,” Chaudhry said. “We only targeted the aircraft ... We could have taken out more, but we showed restraint.”
