According to Reuters, on July 18 local time, US President Trump said that up to five jet fighters were shot down in the India-Pakistan conflict in May this year, but did not clearly state which side's aircraft they were.
On that day, Trump spoke about the India-Pakistan conflict during a dinner with some Republican lawmakers at the White House: "In fact, there were planes shot down. It should have been four or five, and I remember it was actually five jet fighters that were shot down."

In early May this year, Pakistan announced that it had shot down five Indian aircraft in an air battle. India had previously stated in late May that after suffering losses in the first day of the air battle, it adjusted its tactics and established an advantage before announcing a ceasefire.
India also claimed to have shot down several Pakistani aircraft. Pakistan denied any loss of aircraft, but admitted that its airbase was attacked.
