Apart from the five jets, one large Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) or early warning aircraft was also destroyed, he said.“We have at least five fighters confirmed kills and one large aircraft, which could be either an ELINT aircraft or an AEW &C aircraft, which was taken on at a distance of about 300 kilometres,” the Air Chief Marshal said, calling the downing of the aircraft the largest ever recorded surface-to-air kill.The Air Force official made the remarks while he was giving a briefing on how Operation Sindoor was planned and executed.After the operation was launched on May 7, India did confirm that some high-tech Pakistani Air Force jets were shot down, but did not give an exact number. Air Marshal AK Bharti, director general air operations, had said back then that India was trying to get into the technical details to establish the exact number. “We don’t have the wreckage as their (PAF) planes were prevented from entering our airspace. But we have downed a few planes," he had said.
