🇮🇳⚡️🇵🇰 Austrian Military aviation expert says PAF lost more jets than IAF Claimed.

Military aviation analyst Tom Cooper, commenting on the IAF's disclosure, described it as a "nice confirmation" of what was already assessed in May based on independent evidence. "We have seen evidence of not only five, but even more Pakistani aircraft being shot down. We have seen evidence for even more Pakistani aircraft being destroyed on the ground. But there was no official confirmation from the Indian Air Force, not even from the government of India. Therefore, this is a nice confirmation for something that was assessed as a matter of fact already back in May," Cooper stated in Austria.

He further emphasized the operation's significance: "It was again a major achievement, tactical, operational, and strategic level. Range-wise-a historic achievement to score such a success over more than 300 kilometers range."
