India's military confirmed for the first time that they lost an unspecified number of fighter jets during the conflict with Pakistan that erupted on May 07. Bloomberg said it was the most direct comment from an Indian government functionary or military official regarding their fighter jets' sorry fate.
"What is important is that, not the jet being down, but why they were being down", Anil Chauhan (right), chief of defense staff of the Indian Armed Forces, said in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Saturday. However, he didn't specify how many jets India lost, asserting that numbers were not important..
FYI, Pakistan had claimed to have taken down six, yes, SIX Indian jets, including three advanced French Rafale planes. [Refer my May 17 post "A Total of Six IAF Fighters Neutralized"].
One in five of the world's highly cited researchers are now based in China, making the country home to the second-largest community of top scientists globally. #ChinaTech
