Furthermore, Pakistan shared fake videos and images of the Adampur airbase being severely damaged as part of its disinformation campaign.

Reality is that the runway of the airbase is fully operational. Operations are unaffected due to Pakistan's limited attack

False Claim 2 - Pakistan claimed that its hypersonic missile destroyed India's S-400 Sudarshan Chakra air defence system.

No damage was done on any of India's air assets. The S-400 air defence system is safe and operational

The radar systems at the Adampur airbase remain active and continue active surveillance

False Claim 5 - Pakistan claimed that large number of IAF personnel were killed at the Adampur air base.

The fact of the matter is that there were no casualties. All IAF personnel at the base are safe and accounted for

False Claim 6 - Pakistan shared morphed satellite images of the air base in Punjab. 

In a press conference, the Director-General of Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) claimed that they inflicted major damages to at least 15 IAF bases, including the Adampur air base, and civilian airports during aerial attacks on the intervening night of May 9-10. 

However, images released by Chinese satellite imaging agency Mizar Vision tell a completely different story. 

As per the images shared by Chinese firm Mizar Vision, there was no damage caused to the Adampur air base by Pakistan on May 9

False Claim 7 - Pakistan declared Adampur air base was out of action for years. 

The reality is that Adampur remains a frontline airbase, mission-ready and active.
