Given the fake news that came out of India after Sindoor, with the government insisting no fighters were lost even after third-party confirmation from France and the US, I'm hesitant to believe a purported "sole survivor" silver lining narrative when the only evidence is a few still photos and some brief video clips, especially in the age of AI.
The comment is quite stupid given the context. But I’ll play. The government never denied fighters were lost in the early days they just didn’t confirm it either. They did confirm it later though.
