New Delhi,UPDATED: Jun 3, 2025 20:31 IST

In a major blow to Pakistan’s aerial capabilities, the Indian Air Force destroyed six fighter jets, two high-value surveillance aircraft, one C-130 transport aircraft, over 30 missiles, and several unmanned aerial vehicles during a four-day conflict last month, according to top sources involved in the operations.

Sources told India Today that technical analysis of operational data confirms that six fighter aircraft belonging to the Pakistan Air Force were shot down during the air battles. One high-value platform—believed to be either an electronic warfare or an Airborne Early Warning or Control Aircraft—was hit by a long-range precision strike using the Sudarshan missile system at a distance of nearly 300 kilometers.
