ISLAMABAD
\nDefence Minister Khawaja Asif has strongly refuted recent statements by the Indian Air Force (IAF) chief Amar Preet Singh regarding Operation Sindoor, dismissing claims of Pakistani jet losses as \u201cimplausible\u201d and \u201cill-timed.\u201d
\nIn a robust response shared on social media, Asif maintained that India\u2019s military leadership is masking the \u201cstrategic shortsightedness\u201d of Indian politicians, labeling them as \u201cfaces of monumental failure.\u201d
\nPakistan\u2019s Response to India\u2019s Operation Sindoor Claims
\nAsif highlighted that for over three months, India remained silent on these claims, while Pakistan provided detailed technical briefings to international media post-Operation Sindoor.
\nIndependent observers, including world leaders, senior Indian politicians, and foreign intelligence, acknowledged the destruction of multiple Indian Air Force aircraft, including Rafales.
\nHow Pakistan shot down India\u2019s Rafale-International Media Report
\nHe said that Pakistan successfully neutralized six Indian jets, S400 air defense systems, and unmanned aircraft, while disabling several Indian airbases. He emphasized that no Pakistani aircraft were hit during the operation, and Indian losses along the Line of Control were significantly heavier.
\nCall for Independent Verification
\nChallenging India\u2019s narrative, Khawaja Asif proposed that both nations open their aircraft inventories for independent verification to reveal the truth. \u201cIf the truth is in question, let both sides open their aircraft inventories\u2014though we suspect this would lay bare the reality India seeks to obscure,\u201d he stated.
\nWarning Against Strategic Miscalculations
\nAsif condemned India\u2019s \u201ccomical narratives\u201d as politically motivated, warning that such falsehoods risk dangerous miscalculations in a nuclearized region.
\n\u201cWars are not won by falsehoods but by moral authority, national resolve, and professional competence,\u201d he asserted, urging India to refrain from destabilizing actions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
