Those are fuel tanks, not jets. And their source is "four local government sources". In a conflict fueled with massive disinformation I would rely on something more concrete.

It’s your country, I’m just a neutral on the outside. If you want to take the stance of “fake news”, “no evidence of that” unless India publicly admits it, by all means. I don’t count on that happening though because there’s obviously “appease the domestic population” going on.

I am more than happy to believe that 100 Indian jets were shot as long as there's credible evidence. It's war and casualties are expected.

Ask your government to uncensor the Internet and you’ll probably get plenty of credible evidence in addition to the partial confirmation by the French side and anonymous local officials. According to CNN both sides are smart enough to not cross the border so that an undeniable parade of wreckage like the one in 2019 can’t happen this time round.

I live out of India, so that doesn't really impact me.

When all the potential hard evidence is in India and tightly controlled, of course it impacts your (and everyone else’s) ability to get evidence. According to CNN people had to delete video evidence of jet crashes, and journalists weren’t allowed to get anywhere close.

I am not exactly going to worry about things that I can't control. The best I can do is check sources from other side(which are equally bad if not worse) and amplify voices of reason.
