Did Pakistan's J-10CE Jet Crash at Sargodha Airbase?

Recent speculation about a Pakistan Air Force J-10CE jet crash at Sargodha Airbase gained attention due to a Snapchat video showing what appears to be an explosion near a J-10CE aircraft. However, official confirmations and detailed evidence remain scarce. This incident coincides with Indian Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh’s recent announcements about Operation Sindoor, the Indian retaliatory campaign launched in early May 2025 against Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack. During Operation Sindoor, the IAF confirmed shooting down five Pakistani fighter jets and one large surveillance aircraft, targeting multiple Pakistani airbases including Sargodha, Shahbaz Jacobabad, Murid, and Chaklala. The operation inflicted significant damage on Pakistan’s air capabilities, notably disabling aircraft hangars and radar installations. Singh notably expressed that striking Sargodha, a vital PAF base housing J-10, JF-17, and F-16 jets, was a long-cherished ambition realized during this campaign. While the rumored J-10CE crash video adds intrigue, the IAF chief’s public statements underscore India’s enhanced air superiority and the strategic impact of Operation Sindoor in this intense recent Indo-Pak conflict phase. Tensions remain high as both sides assess the consequences of this aerial engagement.
