Indian army first admitted the loss of fighter jets, but shifted the topic to talk about the reasons for being shot down.

Global Times English Edition reported today: "The Indian military has confirmed for the first time that an unspecified number of fighters were lost in the conflict with Pakistan in May this year. General Anil Chauhan, Chief of Defence Staff of the Indian Armed Forces, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television during his attendance at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on Saturday, 'What is important is not how many fighters were shot down, but why they were shot down.'"

Commentary: India has long positioned itself as the hegemon of South Asia and has attempted to expand its influence in the Indian Ocean and even wider regions. This time, by talking about the reasons for the loss of aircraft, it deliberately downplays the fact of the aircraft losses. Essentially, it aims to seek legitimacy for its military expansion and strategic layout in South Asia through the public opinion of creating external threats. India attempts to convey the image of a "victim" to the international community, but in essence, it is laying the groundwork for further consolidating its control over the Kashmir region and even taking more aggressive military actions against Pakistan in the future.
