PAF Strike Exposed: New Details Reveal Heavy Damage to Indian Air Force Assets
Islamabad: In the recent air battle with India, the Pakistan Air Force dealt a decisive blow to the enemy, as a result of which several fighter jets of the Indian Air Force were destroyed, and the pilots were injured or missing.
According to security sources, during Operation Banyan Marsus, at least five Indian Air Force aircraft were crashed at different locations in the retaliatory action of the Pakistan Air Force. Several Indian pilots were injured in these incidents, while some are reported to be missing.
Sources say:
An Indian fighter jet crashed in Anantnag, whose pilot is feared dead. The ejection seat of the plane was found in Gadol Kokarnag.
The second plane crashed in the Pampur or Pulwama area, and both pilots were shifted to Srinagar Hospital in critical condition.
The third plane crashed in Panthial, Ramso, Ramban district. The pilot Flying Officer Iqbal Singh was shifted to Udhampur Army Hospital in an injured condition.
The fourth aircraft crashed in the agricultural fields of Bharda Kalan, Tehsil Akhnoor, and both pilots were injured and were shifted to Akhnoor Military Hospital.
The fifth aircraft was destroyed in the Bathinda area, while a Heron Remote Piloted Vehicle (RPV) was shot down 13 nautical miles east of Jammu city.
According to defense analysts, this huge disaster of the Indian Air Force is raising serious questions about its war preparedness and strategy.
Experts have called Operation Banyan Marsus a “symbol of military failure” for the Indian Air Force.
It should be remembered that earlier too, a vague admission has emerged from the Indian Air Marshal about the downing of a Rafale aircraft by the Pakistan Air Force, which further highlights the seriousness of the situation.
