Indian Air Force (IAF) Chief Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh on Friday said that four to five Pakistani fighter jets, most likely F-16s, were destroyed on the ground during air strikes carried out as part of Operation Sindoor.

Singh said the IAF targeted several Pakistani airbases, damaging radars, command centres, runways, hangars, and a surface-to-air missile system. He said that a C-130-class aircraft and possibly a high-value surveillance aircraft were also hit during the operation.
