India admitted that at least three fighter jets were crashed, and Modi's military operation did not gain any advantages. He threatened to cut off water supply to Pakistan.

The Indian military spokesman confirmed at the press conference that India's "Operation Vermilion" against Pakistan started at 1:05 a.m. on July 7th and ended at 1:30 a.m., striking nine targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir region. The Indian military spokesman also admitted that at least three Indian aircraft had crashed. Pakistan emphasized that six Indian aircraft were shot down, while India admitted at least three had crashed mainly because the debris of these three crashed aircraft had been surrounded by civilians, making it impossible for the Indian military to cover up.

Obviously, although India took the initiative to launch a military operation and struck Pakistan preemptively, the result of the battle was heavy losses for the Indian military. It is reported that three Rafale fighter jets were shot down, and another three aircraft were destroyed. However, India gained nothing in the air combat. Modi emphasized that the military operation achieved its intended goals. But clearly, this time India did not get any benefits. The Indian Air Force was completely suppressed by Pakistan, becoming a target for showing off the performance of J-10C, FC-1 Xiaolong, HQ-9, and so on.

Since Modi failed to achieve what he wanted in the military, he began to threaten Pakistan with cutting off water supply. On June 6th, India announced the start of the "Water War" against Pakistan, intending to "cut off" the river water sources originating from its territory and irrigating Pakistan. Indian Prime Minister Modi warned: "The water of India used to flow outwards, but now it will stop to take care of India's interests and be used for national purposes." Clearly, Modi meant that if he could not get what he wanted on the battlefield, then he would use cutting off water to cause losses to Pakistan and save face after multiple aircraft were shot down.
