(DEFENCE SECURITY ASIA) — In a candid admission that has sent ripples through India’s defence and strategic community, Captain (Indian Navy) Shiv Kumar, India’s Defence Attaché to Indonesia, has openly acknowledged that the Indian Air Force (IAF) suffered the loss of several fighter aircraft during a high-stakes air operation against Pakistan on the night of May 7, 2025.
Speaking at a closed-door regional seminar titled “Analysis of the Pakistan–India Air Battle and Indonesia’s Anticipatory Strategies from the Perspective of Air Power”, organised by Universitas Dirgantara Marsekal Suryadarma on June 10, Captain Kumar laid bare an uncomfortable truth that had until now been shrouded in official ambiguity.
In his precise words, the veteran officer conceded, “I may not agree that we lost so many aircraft, but I do agree we did lose some aircraft.”
However, slides presented during the seminar indicated that the Air Force lost three Rafale fighter jets, one Su-30MKI, and one MiG-29.
His statement, made during a 35-minute presentation to Indonesian defence academics and air force officers, confirmed what regional observers had suspected — that the IAF paid a real price during its risky cross-border strike targeting Pakistan’s terror-linked infrastructure.
