The claim
The video shows General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of Army Staff, admitting that India lost six jets and 250 soldiers during the recent conflict with Pakistan in “Operation Sindoor.”
Original review summary
The video is manipulated: Dwivedi’s original speech at IIT Madras on 4 August 2025 discussed future security challenges, and did not say India had lost six jets and 250 soldiers. The review reports that audio-analysis tools indicated manipulation of the viral clip.[S1]
