India's Chief of Defense Staff, Anil Chauhan, acknowledged for the first time that some Indian fighter jets were shot down during May's clashes with Pakistan. While initially denying Pakistan's claim of six downed jets, Chauhan admitted a "tactical mistake" was made, implying losses but not specifying the number. He emphasized the importance of the response and subsequent successful missions. This admission follows Pakistan's claims of downing five Indian jets, including Rafales, a claim initially denied by India.
