5 jets were shot down: Trump's fresh claim on India-Pak conflict
Hindustan Times Rajasthan
|July 20, 2025
US President Donald Trump said five jets may have been shot down during the recent India-Pakistan conflict, and reiterated that his administration used trade pressure to broker a ceasefire between the two sides, a claim New Delhi had repeatedly rejected.
“These are two serious nuclear countries and they were hitting each other,” Trump said in a dinner speech to US lawmakers on Friday.
“I think five jets were shot down, actually,” he said, without elaborating.
“We said, you guys want to make a trade deal. We're not making a trade deal if you're going to be throwing around weapons, and maybe nuclear weapons,” he said.
India’s military had previously confirmed to Bloomberg News that it had lost an unspecified number of fighter jets in clashes with Pakistan in May, while saying they never came close to the point of nuclear war.
