India Pakistan Clash Claims Shoot Down Seven Jets Each

In May 2025, intense conflict erupted between India and Pakistan, with both sides claiming military successes. Pakistan's Chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme, Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan, asserted that Pakistan downed seven Indian aircraft and disabled India's S-400 defense system during the conflict, highlighting Pakistan's technological prowess. Conversely, Indian Air Force Chief Amar Preet Singh confirmed that India shot down five Pakistani fighter jets, specifically of the F-16 and JF-17 classes, during Operation Sindoor. US President Donald Trump repeatedly claimed credit for halting the conflict, stating he used trade leverage to prevent further escalation after seven planes were reportedly shot down, although he did not specify which side's jets were involved. Trump also noted that Pakistani leaders praised him for saving millions of lives and claimed to have settled multiple conflicts globally, including the India-Pakistan war. These conflicting narratives underscore the ongoing tensions and differing perspectives between the involved nations and international actors regarding the May 2025 hostilities.
