Trump, who made his comments during a dinner with republican American legislators in the White House, did not specify what jets of the team he was referring to.
“In fact, planes have been slaughtered by air. Five, five, four or five, but I think five jets were actually slaughtered,” said Trump speaking of Pakistani-Indian hostilities, without developing or providing more details.
Pakistan said it had killed five Indian airpower in air combat. The highest general in India said at the end of May that India had changed tactics after having suffered losses in the first day of hostilities and established an advantage before the announcement of a cease-fire three days later.
