Pakistan says its JF-17 jets destroyed India’s S-400 air defense in Adampur.

Tensions between India and Pakistan have reached a dangerous new level after Pakistan’s military claimed it destroyed India’s advanced S-400 air defense system in a retaliatory strike. The attack, part of Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, follows weeks of clashes, with both sides accusing each other of aggression. Here’s what we know so far.
What Happened?
- Pakistan’s Strike: According to Pakistan’s state media (APP), JF-17 Thunder jets fired hypersonic missiles, hitting the S-400 system in Adampur. The $1.5 billion Russian-made defense system was a key part of India’s air security.
- India’s Losses: Pakistan also claims strikes on Indian airbases (Pathankot, Udhampur), BrahMos missile depots, and artillery positions.
- India’s Response: No official confirmation yet, but Indian media has downplayed the reports.
Why Are India & Pakistan Fighting?
The conflict escalated after:
- April 22 Attack: 26 killed in Pahalgam (Kashmir). India blamed Pakistan-backed groups (no evidence shared).
- India’s Actions: Closed Wagah border, revoked visas, threatened Indus Water Treaty.
- Pakistan’s Retaliation: Launched Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos, targeting military sites.
