Speaking at the 16th Air Chief L M Katre lecure in Bengaluru today, the Chief of the Air Staff said, five Pakistan Air force aircrafts and one AWaCS aircraft were put down by India.
Speaking in detail along with video footage, he said they have at least five fighters confirmed kills and one large aircraft which could either be an ELINT aircraft or an AEW&C aircraft. He informed that they were taken down at a distance of about 300 kilometers, which he added is the largest ever recorded surface to air kill that one can talk about. He also mentioned about attacks on Shahbaz Jacobabad airfield being destroyed by our missiles, where some aircrafts like F16 were damaged.
He pointed out that the Indian attacks were calibrated and there was absolute synchronisation between the three forces. The air chief said that our air defence systems did a wonderful job and the S400 system was a game changer. He explained that the range of that system really kept their aircraft away from us.
