“I find the Air Force Chief’s claim about Operation Sindoor very hard to accept”: Pravin Sawhney

“I find the Air Force Chief’s claim about Operation Sindoor very hard to accept”: Pravin Sawhney, Editor, Force Magazine, to Karan Thapar for The Wire. .......................................... In an interview to discuss the claim made by the Air Force Chief, Air Chief Marshal A. P. Singh, on Friday that during Operation Sindoor India had downed 12 or 13 Pakistani planes, both in air and on the ground, including 9 or 10 fighter jets such as F-16s and JF-17s, a C-130 aircraft and perhaps one or possibly two air-borne early warning aircraft, the Editor of Force Magazine, Pravin Sawhney, has categorically said: “I find the Air Force Chief’s claim very hard to accept.” Mr. Sawhney said that he had spoken to a Russian expert, who understands the S400 extremely well, who pointed out that “it is not possible” to conclusively claim that the system has “killed” hi-tech fighter jets such as the F-16s and JF-17s. It has the capacity to engage them but it cannot prove that it has killed them. That would be an “assumption”, Mr. Sawhney said. There is a lot more that Mr. Sawhney has both analysed and commented about the Air Force Chief’s claim of shooting down Pakistani planes, both in air and on the ground, which I will leave you to find out for yourself when you watch the interview. Speaking about the Air Force Chief’s refusal to talk about the Indian Air Force’s alleged losses during Operation Sindoor, which he described as Manohar Kahaniyan, Mr. Sawhney said this was “not befitting an Air Force Chief”. Mr. Sawhney believed this will not alter the widespread international impression that the Pakistan Air Force performed impressively during Operation Sindoor. He also found it “very strange” that the Air Force Chief had contradicted the confirmation earlier given by both Air Marshal Bharti, the Director General Air Operations, and Gen. Chauhan, the Chief of Defence Staff, that India had lost planes during Operation Sindoor, although both refused to specify how many. Again, I will stop there. I will leave you to see the interview to find out what else Mr. Sawhney has said.
