Pune: Chief Of Defence Staff (CDS) Anil Chauhan on Tuesday said that losses suffered in a military conflict are not important, but the outcome of that operation matters. General Chauhan made these remarks days after his comments on losses suffered by India during Operation Sindoor last month sparked a controversy.
Addressing an event organised by Savitribai Phule Pune University, the Chief of Defence Staff said, “When I was asked about losses on our side, I said these are not important. The results and how you act are important. It would not be very correct to talk about losses…Suppose you go in a cricket test match, and you win by any means, then there’s no question of how many wickets, how many balls and how many players.”
“Based on technical parameters, we will take out this particular data and share it with you. We will tell you how many aircraft we destroyed and how many radars did we destroy. We’ll make a rough assessment of that and come out with that shortly,” he added.
