Khawaja Asif Responds to the claims made by the Indian Air Chief, calling the statement false and ridiculous. He said wars are not won by lies but by bravery and professional skill.
The Defence Minister stated that false narratives can create dangerous strategic misunderstandings in a nuclear region. He said the delayed claims by the Indian Air Chief are baseless and unserious.
Khawaja Asif said that the Indian military leadership is being used to cover political failures. He added that India did not make any claims for three months, while Pakistan presented evidence immediately.
He said independent observers have confirmed heavy losses to Indian aircraft and assets. Pakistan has destroyed 6 Indian planes, S-400 systems, and drones, he added.
Khawaja Asif stated that several Indian airbases were immediately rendered non-operational. He said losses on the Line of Control for India were disproportionately high.
The Defence Minister said both countries should be prepared for free inventory verification. He added that any violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty will be met with immediate and effective response.
