New Delhi, Aug 13 (IANS): Exposing Pakistan's repeated attempts to spin a false narrative, the Indian Open-Source Intelligence (OSNIT) community has debunked the claims made by Pakistani locals who circulated videos to allege that Indian jets had crashed in their vicinity during Operation Sindoor.
According to the analysis done over the past three months, the videos primarily recorded by Pakistani residents in areas like Dina, Gujrat, Sialkot, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) are instead circumstantial evidence pointing to the crash of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jets during the skirmishes.
"The videos, widely circulated on platforms like X, depict local residents in Pakistan recording debris and speculating about downed aircraft, with some claiming to have witnessed pilots descending via parachutes. These claims echo the chaotic aftermath of the February 27, 2019 aerial engagement when Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) initially alleged it had captured three Indian pilots, only to later retract the claim to one — Wing Commander Varthaman — after downing his MiG-21," the Indian Defence Research Wing (IDRW) report mentioned.
According to the Indian OSNIT community the recent videos reflect a familiar pattern of misinformation seen in 2019, with Pakistani locals and authorities trying to portray Indian Air Force (IAF) losses while hiding PAF casualties during Operation Sindoor, launched in May 2025 in response to April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
