The original thread about the India Pakistan skirmish was closed and since then some interesting developments have surfaced on losses and targets from both sides. India of course lost a Rafale and a Mirage and in a press conference basically admitted it without admitting it but since then there is evidence of a Pakistani C-130 being destroyed on the ground as well as Pakistani Sqn Leader Usman Yousaf being killed. Pakistan claims he was killed when India struck an air base and its hanger. This strongly suggests some more Pakistani aircraft were damaged or destroyed as it would be highly unusual for airmen to be in empty hangers especially during hostilities since those are priority targets. Pakistan claims to have destroyed an S-400 launcher however there is no evidence other than a a grainy satellite image that doesn’t show anything. There is also some video from inside India which shows aircraft debris. I tried reverse google search and couldn’t find anything, some claim it was from an old helicopter crash however the engines don’t match any known helicopters (at least what I could find). Pakistanis claim it’s an SU-30 which it obviously is not while Indians claim it a Mirage 3 which it almost certainly looks like. I anyone has more evidence of losses from either side please post it.
Some of the hangers that were hit:
Don’t know how legitimate this is but it’s all over social media. Looks like a Mirage 3 engine, there is a video that shows Indian soldiers at the crash site but this contradicts everything we been told about neither side crossing the border. Anyone have any information on what it could be? I highly doubt a Mirage would cross into India but it does look a lot like engines from a Mirage 3.
From the Pakistani press conference. Said to be an S-400 that was destroyed but i honestly see no evidence. Based off evidence from Ukraine, all large air defenses launchers leave hundreds of yards of scorched earth and the launchers themselves or the carcasses that them generally look white in color after they burn out due to intense fire and chemical reaction of propellants:
