IAF lost jets over ‘political call', says def attache; quoted out of context: Govt
NEW DELHI: IAF lost some fighter jets when it conducted strikes on nine terror hubs in Pakistan and PoK on May 7 because India's political leadership had directed that no military establishments or air defences across the border were to be attacked on that day, India's defence attache to Indonesia, Captain Shiv Kumar, said at a seminar earlier this month. The remarks by Captain Kumar, who is a colonel-rank officer from the Navy, followed an acknowledgment of IAF's initial losses by Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan on May 31 in Singapore but he did not specify the exact number of fighters shot down. Modi govt is yet to officially quantify IAF's losses during Operation Sindoor . Pakistan has claimed to have shot down six Indian fighters, including three French-origin Rafales, on May 7 itself - an assertion that CDS Chauhan dubbed as "absolutely incorrect". Captain Kumar's comments led Congress to renew its attack on govt over its handling of Operation Sindoor. Speaking at a seminar on 'Analysis of the Pakistan-India Air Battle and Indonesia's Anticipatory Strategies from the Perspective of Air Power' on June 10, Capt Kumar said he "may not agree (with an earlier Indonesian speaker's claim) that we lost so many aircraft, but I do agree we did lose some aircraft and that happened only because of the constraint given by the political leadership to not attack their military establishments and air defences". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Преносим лазерен заваръчен пистолет, 50% отстъпка днес HL Купете сега Undo "After the loss, we changed our tactics and we went for the military installations (and radar sites). So, we first achieved suppression of enemy air defences and then that's why all our attacks could easily go through using Brahmos missiles (on May 10)," he further said, his comments being in line with CDS Chauhan's statement in May that after initial losses, Indian armed forces took remedial measures and were able to carry out precision strikes at Pakistan's airbases. After Capt Kumar's 20-day-old remarks came to light and were cited by Congress to criticise govt, Indian embassy in Indonesia said Capt Kumar's remarks "have been quoted out of context and the media reports are a mis-representation of the intention and thrust of the presentation made by the speaker". "The presentation conveyed that the Indian armed forces serve under civilian political leadership, unlike some other countries in our neighbourhood. It was also explained that the objective of Operation Sindoor was to target terrorist infrastructure and the Indian response was non-escalatory," it posted on X. Earlier, the CDS had said in Singapore, "What I can say is that on May 7, in the initial stages, there were losses. Numbers are not important. What was important is why did these losses occur, and what we will do after that."

‘We Warned Them. We Meant It': The Day Yemen Fired A Missile At Israel – A Message To America
New Delhi: A dusty launch pad somewhere in Yemen. A missile cuts through the sky. Not just smoke behind it, there is a message. The same Yemen that once warned the United States is now targeting Israel. The Yemeni Armed Forces have confirmed a ballistic missile strike deep into the heart of Be'er Sheva, a city inside Israeli territory. The launch was no secret. Nor was it silent. Standing before cameras, Yemeni military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree spoke slowly and deliberately. His words were edged with intent. Yemen, he said, remains committed to Gaza – whatever the cost. 'Even if it means blood,' he added, staring directly into the lens. The missile, according to him, was a Zulfiqar-class. Long-range. Ballistic. Built for such a strike. The general claimed it hit its mark. Last week, Yemen had sent drones too. And more missiles. Those, he said, were also 'successful'. Behind every strike, a statement. The kind that does not come with press releases but with flames. Yemen has long framed its involvement not as politics, but as duty. Toward the people of Palestine. Toward Gaza. Saree did not speak of strategy. He spoke of belief. The latest launch came just days after U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Strikes that drew global eyes and fresh fire. Yemen did not stay quiet. It issued a warning to Washington. To Israel. Stay away. Or we enter the war. And now it has. The tone has hardened in Iran as well. Tehran's elite military wing, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), lashed out against Donald Trump. The country's spokesperson, standing amid a sea of mourners, called the U.S. president's recent comments 'nonsense'. He pointed at the crowds thousands gathered to bury those killed in Israel's latest raids. 'There,' he said, 'is the real voice of Iran.' Flags waved. Fists clenched. A nation in mourning. A show of unity. And a clear message to the West. Trump was warned directly. 'Open your eyes. Control your tongue. Restrain your chaos,' the IRGC spokesman said. Those were not diplomatic words. They were not meant to be. Back in Yemen, the dust has not settled. Not after the missile. Not after the threat. And not after the silence from Washington. Because Yemen has fired. Gaza is still burning. Iran is still watching. And the fuse? It is still lit.

Ukrainian F-16 jet, pilot shot down as Russia launches massive aerial attack
A Ukrainian F-16 fighter pilot has died after his jet crashed while trying to stop a major Russian air attack involving hundreds of drones and missiles. The attack caused damage across the country as Russia continues intense night-time strikes. read more The photograph shows an F-16 fighter plane from Poland during an air policing mission along with a Nato allied aircraft on March 24, 2022. (Representative Image, Credit: Reuters) A Ukrainian F-16 fighter pilot was killed after his plane crashed while trying to stop a large Russian air attack, officials said on Sunday. The attack involved hundreds of drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles, as Russia continues heavy night-time strikes in the fourth year of the war. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy honoured the pilot, Maksym Ustymenko, by posthumously awarding him the title of Hero of Ukraine, the country's highest honour. Zelenskyy also urged the United States and other Western allies to provide more help to strengthen Ukraine's air defences. The latest attack damaged homes and infrastructure across the country and injured at least 12 people, according to local officials. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Cities under fire In Kyiv, families took shelter in metro stations as air raid sirens sounded. Gunfire and explosions were heard in the capital and in the western city of Lviv, where such attacks are less frequent. The governor of Lviv region, which borders Poland, said critical infrastructure was targeted in the raid. Ukraine has now lost three F-16 jets since it began flying the American-made aircraft last year. The government has not disclosed the exact number of F-16s in its fleet, but these jets have become an important part of Ukraine's defence. The pilot flew the damaged jet away from a settlement but had no time to eject before it crashed, the Ukrainian Air Force said. 'The pilot used all of his onboard weapons and shot down seven air targets. While shooting down the last one, his aircraft was damaged and began to lose altitude,' the Air Force said on Telegram. F-16 limitations in drone warfare Ukrainian military expert Roman Svitan, speaking earlier this month, said the F-16 was not ideally suited to all tasks in the war, particularly repelling drones which swarm Ukrainian cities, as it is better used against higher-speed targets. Zelenskiy, speaking in his nightly video address, said Ustymenko had been flying missions since the time of a campaign that began in 2014 against Russian-financed separatists who had seized parts of eastern Ukraine. 'He mastered four types of aircraft and had important results to his name in defending Ukraine,' he said. 'It is painful to lose such people.' Scale of the Russian assault The Ukrainian military said in total Russia launched 477 drones and 60 missiles of various types against Ukraine overnight. Ukrainian forces destroyed 211 of the drones and 38 missiles, it said, while 225 more drones were either lost due to electronic warfare or were decoys that carried no explosives.
