Video Of Pakistan Admitting To Losing Two Fighter Jets Is A Deepfake By - Swasti Chatterjee Published - 9 May 2025 1:15 PM3 mins read Listen to this Article CLAIM Pakistan agrees that they lost two fighter jets FACT CHECK The video is a deepfake where the voice is AI generated and the lip movements do not match with the audio A deepfake video of Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) of the Pakistan Armed Forces, is viral claiming the country has admitted to losing two fighter jets amidst an escalating military conflict with India. Professor Hany Farid, a forensic expert in synthetic media at UC Berkeley confirmed to BOOM that the viral clip is a deepfake.
India and Pakistan dangerously escalated their armed confrontation late into Thursday night, with the two nuclear-armed states accusing each other of attacking military sites. Heavy shelling and strikes were reported overnight on each side of their border especially in Jammu, Udhampur and Pathankot, with missiles and drones seen flying past through the night sky. The latest military face-off began on May 7, 2025, when India launched a military strike on Pakistan, as retaliation for the terror attack in Pahalgam in which 26 people were killed. The deepest strike inside Pakistan in decades, Indian defence forces have in press briefings said the country remains prepared for all forms of escalation. The viral deepfake shows Chaudhry at a press briefing where after talking about the ongoing military tensions between the two countries, he admits that India has shot down two Pakistani fighter jets.
