00:00hello folks welcome to your security newsroom folks Indian Air Force has just
00:14claimed it has shot down five Pakistani F-16s in the May 2025 clash this was
00:23actually said now by Indian Air Force chief Air Marshal Amalpreet Singh while
00:30addressing a military gathering this has created a new storm in the media about
00:36the famous clash that took place during the night of 6th and 7th May now let's
00:43analyze this IAF claim but before analyzing just remember the three
00:50buzzwords the number is five the Jets are F-16s and this has been the first
00:57official claim after 91 days so let's listen about what IAF chief had to say
01:04and a few F-16s which mostly from I'm talking about fighter aircraft are from
01:12S-400 we have at least five fighters confirmed kills and one large aircraft
01:19which could be either an Lint aircraft or an AWNC aircraft interestingly all these
01:24F-16s were shot down by S-400 system that means that there is no air-to-air kill
01:32scored by IAF as of now although there has been no proof shared by IAF no
01:39technical data shared to the public and no wreckage was found on the Pakistani
01:43side so the very question comes to mind what could be the actual background of
01:50this particular position taken by the Indian Air Force recently one answer
01:55could be the statement made by American President Trump about five jets shot down
02:01the other could be PF claims of five jets and one UAV shot down another answer
02:10could be the mounting pressure of the Indian politicians about the five Indian
02:16Air Force Jets down so it is of no surprise that the Indian Air Force claim is
02:26also about the five jets neither more nor less this is called narrative building
02:34these downing of Pakistani jets has all in a sudden appeared because a heated debate is
02:41going on on the issue and was recently gaining very much coverage in the Indian
02:48media and also in the Indian Parliament
02:51the claims of the Indian government has been strongly opposed by the Indian
03:13opposition the Indian opposition leader mr. Rahul Gandhi said on the floor of the
03:19parliament that IAF has suffered losses due to the Indian government putting
03:25restraint on Indian forces not to engage with the Pakistani military and
03:30resultantly they were badly defeated by the response made by Pakistani forces so
03:38and I guess the leader said Tiger to get a complete freedom to get a full
03:42freedom to get a full freedom to get a whole and the tiger and you can be
03:43the leader of the Indian force so you can't look at the
03:45alligator'sально and there is no fault over the other than the
03:47says to the instructor if the Persian are doing it
03:55yes sir but the deserves and that is the word the
03:57布 is the first term that the one that it's okay
04:01it's a political will
04:04or dosara freedom of operation. Now to rescue Indian government from this narrative IAF chief
04:15had to come and claim that there was no restraint put by the government and the forces were given
04:22the free hand. Let's listen how IAF chief is trying to clear that narrative in the favor of
04:28the government. If I can say what were the reasons for success? One which I can think of is that there
04:37was political will. There was very clear political will, very clear directions which were given to us
04:44and there were no kind of restrictions which were put on it. While contrary to that Indian defense
04:52attached to Indonesia claim that these losses suffered because there was restraint put by
04:59the Indian government on the Indian forces. Let's listen about this. I may not agree with him that
05:04India lost so many aircrafts but I do agree that we did lose some aircraft and that happened only
05:10because of the constraint given by the political leadership. So one can easily assume that this
05:16IAF statement is to favor the Indian government in the storm that is going on within the Indian
05:23politics about the Indian position over Pakistan. Statement of the IAF chief is basically for domestic
05:31audience. No claim has been shared to the international media by the Indian chief of defense staff.
05:40No claim had been earlier making official press conferences nor there is any evidence shared by
05:48Indian Air Force. Now lastly why F-16? Why not JF-17? Why not no J-10C was shot down? It is because
05:59it's the USA that has recently humiliated India and therefore Indian came out with claiming of downing
06:06a US origin jet. The PL-15 story of Rafal has been in the limelight and also remember in the previous
06:17Abhinandan episode it was F-16 that remained a dream for the Indian Air Force to be shot down. They tried to
06:25build the whole narrative during the 2019 clash around this F-16. Hopefully now you can imagine why IAF is
06:35making new stories. Have a good day.
