After the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the four-day military confrontation between India and Pakistan between May 7 and 10 this year may have ended, but discussions are still going on about the losses incurred during that period and Operation ‘Sindoor’. A new bipartisan report from the US Congress has again brought this issue to the fore and made many big claims.

According to the report, Pakistan lost 5 military aircraft in the Indian attacks. At the same time, India lost three jets, but the report says that all of them were not Rafale. This information also matches President Donald Trump’s earlier claims, in which he had said that a total of 8 jets were downed in the collision. Some former military officers of Pakistan had also accepted the loss of their planes in the media.

Pakistan’s big loss, 5 jets destroyed

Trump has claimed many times that a total of 8 planes were shot down in this confrontation that took place in early May. On comparison with the American report, it becomes clear that Pakistan alone lost 5 war planes, which exposes its claims of victory and proves India’s claim.

China’s propaganda also came to the fore

The American report also says that after the confrontation, China spread misinformation about India’s Rafale aircraft. It is alleged that China was doing this to sell its J-10 fighter jets and PL-15 missiles, which were said to be used to target Indian aircraft.

The report admits that India lost three jets, but it is not necessary that all were Rafale. This also matches with an earlier US intelligence assessment, which estimated that two Indian jets, including one Rafale, were shot down by Pakistan’s J-10 aircraft.

Trump himself took credit, gave the number as 8

Trump claimed during an event in Miami that he played a role in preventing the two countries from war. He said a total of seven jets were shot down, while the eighth was seriously damaged. According to Trump, he forced India and Pakistan to stop the war by threatening to impose tariffs. He has made this claim many times. However, India has repeatedly denied Trump’s claims.

Operation Sindoor: After the terrorist attack on April 22, 2025 in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, India avenged it by launching Operation Sindoor, which not only proved to be India’s strategic victory but it also revealed the weakness of Pakistan’s armed forces. Pakistan once again found it expensive to use China’s weapons.

According to the Times of India report, Pakistan is largely dependent on China in defense matters. Pakistani military 82 percent imports its needs from China. During the India-Pakistan struggle, Chinese weapons were also tested, which could not last long in front of Indian weapons.

Chinese defense system failed to stop Indian missile
During Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army bypassing the Chinese air defense system destroyed several terrorist structures in Pakistan. The Chinese Defense System failed to stop the Indian missile. According to reports, from China’s PL-15 missile to J-10c fighter aircraft and naval frigates also performed poorly, which weakened Pakistan’s security and failed to stop India’s missile attacks.

The impact on China’s Arms Export around the world
The failure of these weapons of China has affected not only Pakistan but around the world. The demonstration of Chinese weapons during the war is also staining on China’s image. China’s arms exports are also being affected around the world. Questions are being raised on the quality and reliability of China’s military equipment.

According to the expert, the failure of China’s weapons during the conflict is likely to reduce the arms export, which is already under question about the quality issue. The Indian Army not only bypassed Pakistan’s air defense system during Operation Sindoor but also jammed them.
