In a landmark statement, the Chief of the Indian Air Force has confirmed the scale of India’s air superiority during Operation Sindoor. He revealed that five Pakistani fighter jets and one AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning & Control) aircraft were shot down at long ranges by the IAF’s advanced S-400 missile systems. Furthermore, precision strikes destroyed F-16 fighters and early warning aircraft stationed on the ground, delivering a severe blow to Pakistan’s aerial capabilities. This operation, meticulously planned and executed, showcased India’s cutting-edge air defence technology and its strategic prowess. The destruction of both airborne and ground-based assets marks one of the most significant demonstrations of air dominance in South Asian military history, reinforcing the IAF’s role as a decisive force in safeguarding national security.
