Indian Air Force Chief, Air Chief Marshal AP SIngh for the first time revealed how India shot down 5 of Pakistan's fighter jets and an hightech early warning AWE&C aircraft during Operation Sindoor. Chief of Air Staff ACM Singh clarified that the forces were given free hand to conduct the operation. He explained how Pakistan's airbases, radars and F-16s got damaged during the operation that lasted barely 80- 90 hours. IAF Chief' revelation should stop the debate on a narrative that President Trump brokered the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. This also explains how S-400 bought from Russia proved so effective along with own indigenous systems.
