The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said that on Friday up to five jets were shot down during the recent hostilities of Pakistan-India that began after an April attack in Jammu and Cashmira (Iiojk) illegally occupied, and the situation calmed down after a high fire in May.
Trump, who made his comments at a dinner with some Republican legislators from the United States in the White House, did not specify what he meant.
“In fact, the airplanes were being shot out of the air. Five, five, four or five, but I think five planes were really demolished,” Trump said while talking about India-Pakistan hostilities, without elaborating or providing more details.
Pakistan said he had demolished five Indian planes in combat Aire-Aire. The general of the highest rank of India said at the end of May that India changed tactics after suffering losses in the air on the first day of hostilities and established an advantage before a high fire was announced three days later.

India launched air attacks in Pakistan in early May, after accusations that link Islamabad with Pahalgam’s attack, says Pakistan denied.
In retaliation, the Pakistan Air Force knocked down five Indian planes. The two parties exchanged attacks in the other’s air bases before the United States fire on May 10 was reached.
India also said that he had demolished “some planes” of Pakistan. Islamabad denied having suffered some loss of airplanes, but acknowledged that its air bases had been beaten.
Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for Alto El Fuego between India and Pakistan who announced on social networks on May 10 after Washington held conversations with both parties.

India has deferred with Trump’s claims that it was the result of his speech and threats to severe commercial conversations.
The position of India has been that New Delhi and Islamabad must solve their problems directly and without external participation.
India is an increasingly important American partner in Washington’s effort to counteract China’s influence on Asia, while Pakistan is an ally of the United States.
April’s attack in Iiojk killed 26 men and caused strong fighting among Asian neighbors with nuclear weapons in the last escalation of a rivalry of decades.
Nueva Delhi blamed the attack against Pakistan, who denied responsibility while asking for a neutral investigation.
Washington condemned the attack but did not blame Islamabad directly.
On May 7, Indian airplanes bombed sites through the border that New Delhi described as “terrorist infrastructure”, disregarding an exchange of attacks between the two countries for combat planes, missiles, drones and artillery that killed dozens until the fire was reached.
