Many military structures destroyed
On the reports of various terrorist groups transferred by various terrorist groups in Pakistan to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province after Operation Sindoor, he said that it was expected and the Indian Air Force has the ability to go inside to attack their hideouts by hitting a completely accurate target in the Indian Air Force. He said that the Indian Air Force has finalized the plan to expand its fighter capabilities under Roadmap 2047 and the Air Force will need 35 to 40 new aircraft including fighter jets every year for the next two decades to increase its air power. In response to the questions, he gave details of the damage done to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor citing intelligence reports and evidence collected by electronic surveillance. Said that the information we have received from the intelligence report is that due to these attacks, radar at least four places, commands and control centers in two places, runways at two places and then three of their hangers at three different stations have been damaged.
American -made jet also hit
He said that on the hangers as well as on Termac, we have received indications of a C-130-class aircraft, an AW & C (Airborn Early Warning and Control) aircraft and at least four to five fighter aircraft, possibly F-16,. Sharing the details of the air attacks, the Air Force Chief said that the Indian Air Force has a clear evidence of a long-range attack with a firepower of more than 300 kilometers, including an AW & C or sign (signal intelligence) aircraft as well as five high-tech fighters of F-16 and JF-17. This is what our system tells us. He said that although there were reports of damage to Pakistan’s F-16 jet aircraft in a hangar, this was the first time that the Indian Air Force confirmed the killing of American-made jets in the air.
