Really to be fair, the infographic of "J-20 Chengdu vs. Rafale" is still trueWe also need a compilation post of all the times Indians talked smack about Chinese hardware…
Oh wait, we can’t do that because we’ll run out of server space!
Two Russian fighter jets, one Su-30MKI in Jammu and one unknown in RambanSo far, it appears last night the IAF lost:
1 x Dassault Rafale in (nearly certain)
1 x Dassault Mirage 2000 in (fairly likely)
This wreckage was likely initially misidentified by certain Indian sources as a PAF JF-17.
1 x Russian made fighter equipped with one or two Zvezda K-36 ejection seat(s) in (possible)
This claimed loss can be reasonably upgraded to fairly likely if the photos below are authentic and were indeed captured in Ramban in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor (assuming the ejection seat is indeed a Zvezda K-36 as claimed).
Question is: was this an IAF Su-30MKI or MiG-29UPG airframe?
Therefore, as of this moment, I'm counting what's likely two (2), possibly at least three (3) IAF airframe losses from Operation Sindoor.
Keep in mind these losses could have been a result of a mix of hostile fire, friendly fire, pilot error, and/or mechanical failure, but combat conditions were likely a factor in all of the attrition.
There's been claims that one additional wreckage, which some have claimed to be an IAF Su-30MKI or a , is or was situated in Akhnoor Municipal Committee, Jammu District, Jammu & Kashmir.
However, besides , which contained taken from a distance, there hasn't been much reporting on the airframe that was reportedly lost in Akhnoor.
Has anyone come across more definitive evidence confirming the loss of a Su-30MKI or any other airframe in Akhnoor?
How come its missing the edge serrations on the end of the wing?
