Indian government officials have refuted circulating videos on social media that falsely claim significant military losses. A digitally manipulated video purportedly shows External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar admitting the loss of three Indian Rafale jets to Pakistan, which has been confirmed as fake by official fact-checks. Similarly, another altered video falsely attributes a statement to Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Rahul R. Singh, claiming that India lost its S-400 air defense system due to Chinese missiles. Both videos have been verified as digitally doctored, with the original footage unrelated to the fabricated claims.
