[Text/Observer Network Qi Qian] Three weeks after the latest India-Pakistan conflict ended, on June 9 local time, Indian Foreign Minister Su Jiesheng once again made a tough statement that if India is subject to a "terrorist attack", it will be ready to attack any area of Pakistan at any time. But when talking about the losses in war, Su Jiesheng kept silent and said that he should take a closer look at the effectiveness of the Indian army's strike against Pakistan, rather than the losses of fighter jets.
According to the Politico EU, Sujason made the above statement during his visit to Brussels.
Su Jiesheng kept reiterating his tough statements against Pakistan in an interview. According to him, the root cause of the India-Pakistan conflict has not changed, that is, Pakistan is a "state that seriously uses terrorism as a tool of state policy." When asked whether the conditions for the latest outbreak of India-Pakistan conflict still existed, he gave a positive answer.
The report mentioned that since the outbreak of the conflict, Pakistan has announced many times that it will shoot down 6 Indian fighter jets, including three legal "Ravels", one Su-30MKI and one MiG-29 fighter jet. Since then, American and French officials have confirmed to the media that Pakistan shot down Indian fighter jets. But India either denied it or declined to comment, saying it would disclose the war damage situation "at the right time".
It was not until recently that a senior Indian officer admitted that India did lose its fighter jets, but did not specify it.
In this interview, Su Jiesheng did not deny that the fighter plane was shot down, and said that the relevant departments would communicate on the matter after they were ready.
But he later argued that the damage caused by Indian fighter jets and missiles to the Pakistan Air Force was far greater than the damage caused by the Pakistan Air Force to India, forcing Pakistan to seek peace. Politico EU said it was one of the sharpest comments from Indian officials after India and Pakistan announced a ceasefire.
"For me, the destruction and paralysis of the airports on Pakistan's side for the effectiveness of the Rafale fighter, or the effectiveness of other systems, is evidence of the airports that Pakistan has been destroyed and paralyzed," Su Jiesheng continued. "There is only one reason why the battle stopped on the 10th, that is, we attacked eight major airports in Pakistan that morning and paralyzed them."
He told Politico EU that if he didn't believe him, he could search online for "the runways and hangars that were attacked."
Su Jiesheng further claimed without providing evidence that Pakistan is "openly" training "thousands" of terrorists and "release" them to India. He warned that India "will not tolerate" such behavior and "will definitely retaliate". "We don't care where they (terrorists) are. If they go deep into Pakistan, we go deep into Pakistan."
The Pakistani army displayed and compared the comparative images of the aircraft wreckage circulating online with the Indian army's "gusts", emphasizing the credibility of the shooting down results
The India-Pakistan conflict broke out in the early morning of May 7, and since then, tensions in the India-Pakistan conflict have continued to escalate.
In the early morning of May 10 local time, India cracked down on facilities such as Nurhan Air Force Base in Pakistan. On the same day, Pakistan announced that it had officially launched a military operation code-named "Copper Wall" against India in order to respond to India's continuous provocative behavior and "fight Indian terrorism and ensure Pakistan's internal stability and sovereignty."
On the 10th, India and Pakistan reached a ceasefire agreement and agreed to an immediate ceasefire. On the 13th, India and Pakistan expelled each diplomatic officials, and both sides listed the other party's personnel as "unpopular people", accusing them of engaging in activities contrary to their official identities, and at the same time, they were restricted from leaving the country within 24 hours.
Although this India-Pakistan military conflict was short-lived, the war loss ratio between the two sides attracted much attention from the global media during this period.
India and Pakistan both declared victory. It is reported that both countries have sent delegations to many countries around the world to "preach" in an attempt to influence the views of the international community. Starting from May 21, India has successively sent seven cross-party delegations, with a total of more than 50 people, to lobby in more than 30 countries and EU and UN headquarters. Pakistan sent a delegation of "peace propositions" led by former Foreign Minister and Pakistani People's Party Chairman Bilawar.
On May 31 local time, Indian Defense Chief Anil Johan "confirmed for the first time" in an interview at the Shangri-La Dialogue venue that day that India did lose fighter jets in recent conflicts with Pakistan, but denied the claim that Pakistan shot down six fighter jets. He also said: "What is important is not that the fighter jets are shot down, but why they are shot down."
