A senior Indian Navy officer said India lost some fighter jets early in Operation Sindoor because the government had ordered strikes only on terror camps, not military targets. “We were told not to hit military bases. That caused early losses,” said Captain Shiv Kumar at a seminar in Jakarta. India later changed tactics and gained full control over the skies. The government has not confirmed these losses.
