DG Air Operations Air Marshal A K Bharti
All Indian Air Force pilots involved in Operation Sindoor have returned safely, and all mission objectives were achieved, the IAF confirmed on Sunday (11 May).
Speaking at a joint India armed forces press briefing, Director General of Air Operations, Air Marshal A K Bharti, stated that India would not disclose platform-level details while combat readiness was still active.
He was asked about Pakistan's claims of downing two India Jets during Operation Sindoor.
“We are in a combat scenario and losses are a part of combat," Air Marshal Bharti said.
"As for the details, what could have been, which platforms did we lose, at this time I would not like to comment on that because we are still in a combat situation and if I comment on anything it will only be advantage adversary," the DGAO said.
He underlined that the selected objectives were met and there were no pilot casualties.
“All I can say is: we have achieved our objectives that we selected, and all our pilots are back home," Air Marshal Bharti said.
