Indian officers for the first time admitted that during the night battle between India and Pakistan on May 7, three Rafale fighter jets, one Su-30MKI and one Mig-29 were lost. The information comes from a report by "Defence Security Asia" on June 29. Colonel Shiv Kumar, the Indian defense attaché in Indonesia, publicly admitted this for the first time at a closed-door military seminar held in Jakarta, Indonesia.
It is absolutely impossible for Indians to admit defeat. He attributed the terrible defeat of the Indian forces in the air strike to "not because of the aircraft or pilot capabilities, but because the superiors issued orders not to attack Pakistani military targets and air defense systems." In short, India deliberately let the Pakistani army attack, willing to act as a live target for the Pakistani Air Force. India really has the demeanor of a great power, sacrificing several expensive aircraft to maintain regional peace for the sake of South Asian unity.
