In a shocking revelation during a Facebook Live session, senior Indian journalist and defence analyst Pravin Sawhney admitted that India lost jets to Pakistan and detailed what transpired on the night of May 6–7.

His admission underscores Pakistan’s technological superiority in electronic warfare ,a critical edge that left the Indian Air Force vulnerable and exposed.
He also said that in modern times, Pakistan’s Air Force is one of the best air forces, adding that there is ‘no doubt about it’.
