Opposition Slams Modi Government for Concealing Details of IAF
- On June 10, 2025, Captain Shiv Kumar, India's Defence Attache to Indonesia, acknowledged that India lost fighter jets during the initial phase of its conflict with Pakistan in May, attributing the losses to political constraints that limited the scope of Indian military strikes.
- These losses occurred because government orders limited strikes to terrorist camps only and forbade targeting Pakistani military installations to avoid escalation.
- Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, focused solely on terrorist infrastructure using long-range weapons.
- In 2018, India entered into an agreement with Russia worth USD 5.43 billion to acquire five S-400 missile squadrons; to date, three of these units have been delivered and are operational, while Russia has pledged to supply the remaining two within the upcoming financial year.
- Kumar's disclosure intensified political tensions as opposition leaders accused Prime Minister Modi's government of concealing losses and demanded transparency on decisions during the 86-hour conflict.
