India-Pakistan conflict: CDS Anil Chauhan said India swiftly rectified its “tactical mistakes” and resumed high-precision strikes deep in Pakistani territory.
nil Chauhan, the Chief of Defence Staff of the Indian Armed Forces, recently responded to a question on whether Pakistan had downed an Indian jet during the conflict with Pakistan in May.
In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Gen Anil Chauhan didn’t deny the claim and said, “What is important is not the jet being down, but why they were being downed.”
CDS Anil Chauhan disputed Pakistan’s claim that it shot down six Indian jets, but declined to specify how many were lost. He said India swiftly rectified its “tactical mistakes” and resumed high-precision strikes deep in Pakistani territory.
He said, “What mistakes were made — those are important. Numbers are not important. The good part is that we were able to understand the tactical mistake which we made, remedy it, rectify it, and then implement it again after two days and flew our jets again, targeting at long range.”
ndia launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting at least nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. The strikes triggered four days of intense clashes that ended with an understanding on stopping the military actions on May 10.
