IAF Confirms Aircraft Losses in Recent Conflict with Pakistan  In a significant development, India's Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Anil Chauhan, has confirmed that the Indian Air Force (IAF) suffered aircraft losses during the recent four-day conflict with Pakistan in May 2025. This marks the first official acknowledgment of such losses, following weeks of speculation and claims from Pakistani authorities.  The hostilities were triggered by a terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir on April 22, which resulted in 26 fatalities. India attributed the attack to Pakistan-based militant groups, prompting the launch of "Operation Sindoor" on May 7. During this operation, the IAF conducted airstrikes targeting alleged terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

He emphasized the importance of analyzing the reasons behind these losses to inform future military strategies.

Subsequent operations on May 7, 8, and 10 involved deeper penetration into Pakistani territory, targeting airbases and military installations with precision strikes. These actions were carried out with careful consideration to avoid escalating the conflict to a nuclear threshold.
