Mumbai, September 10: Did Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi admit that India lost Rafale jets and the S-400 Air Defence System to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor? A video circulating widely on social media claims exactly that, showing a clip of the Army Chief making shocking statements. In the video, the Army Chief can be further heard stating that losing high-value military equipment was more damaging than casualties on the battlefield.

The clip alleges that four Rafale jets and a Pakistani hypersonic missile worth millions destroyed an S-400 system, prompting India to call for a ceasefire due to these losses. The video further claims that these military setbacks caused significant economic and strategic consequences for India, suggesting that the Chief of Army Staff personally confirmed the losses and the subsequent decision to end hostilities. Fact Check: Did Manchester United Ask 'X' User to Raise His Follower Number to 30,000 As Part of A Job Offer?
