India's top general revealed a shift in military tactics after initial air losses in the conflict with Pakistan earlier this month. Following an April 22 attack in Kashmir claimed by India to be Pakistan-backed terrorism, India launched retaliatory airstrikes on May 7th. Despite Pakistan's claims of shooting down Indian aircraft, including Rafale fighters, India ultimately gained a decisive advantage before a ceasefire on May 10th, ending days of intense fighting involving jets, missiles, drones, and artillery.
