More than 100 fighter jets from India and Pakistan were involved in a major aerial engagement that occurred on May 6 and 7, Pakistani officials have confirmed, making it one of the largest and longest dogfights in recent global aviation history.

Pakistan Air Force (PAF) confirmed the scale of the incident during a press briefing in Islamabad on Friday, stating that over 100 jets were mobilised by both sides in a fierce engagement that lasted more than an hour.

A senior security source told US broadcaster CNN that 125 fighter jets participated in the air battle, with missile exchanges occurring at distances of up to 160 kilometres (100 miles).

According to the highly placed Pakistani source, neither side crossed into the other’s airspace.

The latest confrontation follows heightened tensions in the region, particularly after an attack on tourists in Indian-istered Kashmir.

Experts note the air engagement did not escalate into a full-scale cross-border clash, with both sides reportedly remaining within their respective airspaces to avoid the political fallout seen during a similar episode in 2019, when an Indian pilot was shot down, captured, and paraded on Pakistani television.

According to sources quoted by CNN, one of the five Indian aircraft reportedly downed was directly struck by a Pakistan ground-based air defence system.

Islamabad has also revealed that it had deployed the Chinese-made PL-15 air-to-air missile during the intense skirmish. [/b]The Indian Air Force has not yet issued an official response confirming or disputing their losses.

PAF also released audio recordings, purportedly from downed Indian Rafale jets during the aerial clash.

In the intercepted audio, a voice identified by Pakistani officials as an Indian Wing Commander can be heard coordinating operations mid-flight while repeatedly checking on the status of his formation , suggesting a scenario of high tension and damage control during the dogfight.

Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed, who played that audio recording in a press briefing, said: "I have an audio from Rafale formation that I will share. The call sign is Godzilla…. Those animals are extinct, so this one [jet] also got extinct."

"We had a plan. India had said they would have Rafales, and that's why this time we targeted their centre of gravity in the shape of Rafales. This is why you see such good numbers [of planes downed]."

"We could have more numbers, but we showed restraint," Ahmed said.

"But I must say," Ahmed told media, "that it is not the equipment that matters all the time it is the training, it is the leadership that gives you the direction."

This kind of conflict is hard to resolve as none of them wants to appear weak, but they need to deescalate

Just like JD Vance said. That's not my concern. My concern is how Tinubu will stabilise the economy and bring inflation down Or get out of the Villa

what does JD Vance know

Both countries have nuclear weapons. Even a limited nuclear exchange would have catastrophic humanitarian, environmental, and economic effects, possibly triggering a global crisis (like a "nuclear winter" or major climate disruption).

India is a major player in the global economy, a full blown war with Pakistan will disrupt supply chains, markets, and regional stability, affecting everything from oil prices to stock markets worldwide.

.

Pakistan, Islamabad. A safe haven for terrorists.

We will smoke them out.... I trust India to do the needful...

And you think JD Vance doesn't know all that? He literally said what he said for a reason. You can't come here to denigrate him, a person of his caliber? He actually said that for a reason

2 brothers

Like Peter and paul of psquare

Lol so dere Movies na real life....


Bkuz if India isn't Jailing Pakistani Terrorists and and fighting in the sky vice versa....

😳

With the equipments modern fighter jets now possess, dogfighting has become an antiquated term. Most fighter jets now have BVR(beyond visual range) strike capabilities with fire and forget stand-off missiles. You don't need to visually spot the enemy before you engage. The American built F-35 for instance can engage targets 150 miles away and can attack planes that are right behind it.

That said, in 2025 if fighter pilots are dog fighting each other then something has gone terribly wrong.

The Indian government is foolishly riding on a wild horse in its engagement with Pakistan!

India shares land border with 7 countries

Indians have no good relations with China
Have no good relations Pakistan
Have no good relations with the Nepal
Have no good relations with Bangladesh
Have no good relations with Myanmar


I consider the terrorist attack on India istered Kashmir a false flag operation, which is why India has rebuffed every request for an independent international investigation. And instead moved to launch missiles attack deep inside Pakistan 🇵🇰 which is a major escalation of the conflict between both countries.

IPOB people funny die Jesters!

Nigeria has people who know everything yet the country is in shambles. The person you quoted is one of them.

JD Vance na mumu abeg no hype fit fix am

This will be deadly if not resolved quickly

Every time wars and rumours of war, una no dey tire? What is behind this one now, why are brothers fighting? India and Pakistan are brethren, why are they doing dogfight in the skies?

David will bring peace when he is revealed on the mountain that is higher than mount Everest

Islam as a religion will eventually die out if it continues being the root of unnecessary fighting and oppression in the world.

ignorance is a bliss,any disruption in Indian economy will affect you,just like the war in Ukraine affected you,with the price of wheat going up causing global inflation.

American is done with Ukraine, they have moved to India and Pakistan.
