Pakistan Mirage jet vs Indian air defence system: This was the result
The visuals were shown in an AV before the commencement of Monday's press conferences featuring all three services.
The Indian military showed the debris of a Pakistani Mirage fighter that was destroyed by that air defence system during the hostilities that ensued between the two countries after New Delhi launched Operation Sindoor to target terror facilities in PoJK and other areas on May 7.
The visuals were shown in an AV before the commencement of Monday's press conferences featuring all three services.
Just at the start of the video, the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Mirage fighter could be seen shattered into pieces. It was sent into this state by the Indian Air Defence systems, which successfully repelled almost all of the attacks launched from across the border.
According to director general of air operations Air Marshal AK Bharti, the Pakistani attacks, from fighter jets and drones to missiles, were thwarted by the combined might of Integrated air command and control, Akash missiles, and other indigenous systems.
Indian attacks on Pakistani airbases
While India successfully thwarted most of Pakistan's attacks on its military installations, the neighbours weren't so lucky. During Monday's press conference, Air Marshal AK Bharti showed the visuals of two Pakistani airbases that were devastated by the assault by the Indian Air Force.
“As you can see, we have targeted the length and breadth of the adversary. I'm sure most of you would have already seen the effect of these strikes on the ground, courtesy of a large number of videos and photographs being circulated in the media,” the DGAO told the media
The Air Marshal showed a few representative examples of the strikes from the open source.
"In fact, two of them, this is a strike on the new Kanir base. And you can see the fact, I'm sure most of you have seen the video, I've also picked it up from your sources only. And this is the aftermath of our strike at Rahim Yar Khan Airbase. You can see the massive crater that it has left on its runway. And you can see the pinpoint accuracy of our weapons,” he added.
