New Delhi/Bangalore: Downing of a large Pakistani aircraft in the air during Operation Sindoor “actually hit the biggest recorded surface by India”, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh said on Saturday.Distributing the 16th ACM LM Catray Memorial Lecture in Bangalore, Singh said, “A large aircraft, which could be either an alint (electronic intelligence) aircraft or AEV & C (Airborne Early -Warning and Control) aircraft, was fired at a distance of 300 km … S -400 for us.”Armed with slides and satellite grabes in Bengaluru, who recently takes out “Ghost of Balakot” in the air-to-section strike with reliable evidence, ACM Singh also said that the missile system in the air from the IAF surface, mainly the Russian-Russian S-400 ‘Triumph’ was a ‘Triumph’ Air Defense System in the Five.Confirmation of all these murders is, of course, only through electronic means, their blips disappear from the radar screen after the missiles are hit by missiles, and is not physical because the wreles of aircraft in Pakistan fell.Singh, however, did not determine the amount of IAF fighter losses during the initial attacks on nine terrorist hubs on 7 May, which were conducted without the suppression or destruction of the enemy’s aerial rescue or destruction that are usually done before starting any air campaign.On 31 May, on the occasion of Shangri-La dialogue in Singapore, the head of Defense Staff General Anil Chauhan admitted that India had lost some fighter jets during the initial strike, but then replaced (including Cid/Dead) to cause major damage to the deep Pakistani airbase.Other senior officials told TOI that the S -400 system, including 120 km, 200 km, 250 km and 380 km missiles with a blockage range as well as long -range acquisitions and engagement radars set 16–18 targets in air during enmity.In addition to five Pakistani jets and a large aircraft or ‘high-value aerial property’, other people were going to come up to long-range stand-off weapons like large UAVs, cruise missiles and H2 and H4 precisely-directed glide bombs, “said an official said.The IAF chief said on his behalf that three Pakistani aircraft Hangars were also targeted during an air-to-ground strike-UAV Hanger in Sukkur, Bholari in Jackbabad and AEV and C Hanger in F-16 Hanger.The IAF deployed Sukhoi-30MKI, RAFALE and MIRAGE-20000 jets to launch BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles as well as crystal maze 20, rampage and scalp missiles for calibrated pinpoint strike.At least one AEW and C aircraft, possibly a Swedish-origin Saab Eryi, and “some F-16s” were subject to maintenance inside Bholari and Jacobabad Hangars at that time. ACM Singh said, “One half of the Jacobabad Hangar has gone. I am sure there were some aircraft inside.”Such other attacks destroyed two surface-to-two-directed weapons sites in Lahore and Okara, two underground command centers and six radar centers in Murid and Chaklala, said “some big, some small”, IAF chief.Officials said these radar sites were in Sukur, Lahore, Arifala, Chunion, Jackbabad and Nayachor. Overall, IAF attacked eight airports such as Sargodha, Rahayamar Khan, Chaklala, Rafki, Jacbabad, Sukur, Murid and Bholari, with the runways, especially targeted in the first two. Incidentally, the runway in Rahmyar Khan Airbase is still not operational three months after the attack.
