Subramanian Swamy, leader of India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), confirmed Pakistan downed five Indian jets in the recent military escalation.
Subramanian Swami confirmed Pakistan’s air force downed India’s 5 jets, including the High Technology Rafale jets, in a four-day military escalation earlier this month.
“Pakistan shot down five of our aircraft using Chinese fighter jets. Their performance was commendable, whereas our French Rafale jets were underwhelming,” Swamy said, while speaking on a podcast. “Insufficient,” he replied when asked about the French-made Rafale jets. Swamy is the first senior BJP leader to finally admit that Pakistan was right.
India has maintained secrecy over the Downing of its jets. New Delhi hasn’t given a coherent statement regarding Pakistan’s claim to have downed its jets. Pakistan downed Indian Jets in an aerial dogfight when India launched Operation Sindoor against Pakistan on the night of May 6th and 7th in response to the terror attack in Pahalgam, IIOJK.
A Four-day military escalation song Pakistan and India, repeatedly attacking each other with different arms and ammunition. These attacks included missile hits, air strikes, and drone attacks. Pakistan launched its retaliatory operation Bunyan an Marsoos on the night of May 10th.

Swami also raised concerns regarding the suspicious Rafale deal. “This will never be investigated as long as Modi is the prime minister, because he won’t allow it,” he asserted.
He said, “Modi is a master manipulator, deceiving the public. But Indians living abroad know the truth — he has no real stature in the USA. He is, in essence, a servant.”
Swamy also accused Modi of caving under international pressure during the crisis. “The United States asked for a ceasefire, and you submitted. Who authorised that decision? Was it the military? No. It was your fear of the United States, and especially Donald Trump. Modi’s cowardice has been exposed.”
He repeated his call for Modi’s resignation. “We need a new course of action in the coming months,” he said. “Modi must step down. He has failed to uphold the founding principles of our republic, so he has to go. It’s not just my opinion — many others agree, though they are afraid to say it publicly,” he added.
