Pakistan’s Air Force has released an AI-generated video portraying its version of the 2025 Operation Sindoor conflict, claiming major strikes against Indian military and strategic targets. The production, titled Fizaon Ke Pasban, was released around Pakistan Air Force Day and has attracted significant attention online, with users questioning the authenticity of the visuals and describing the production as an attempt to shape the narrative surrounding the conflict.
The video presents an animated depiction of Pakistani air operations and claims that 32 Indian Air Force bases were hit during the conflict. It also portrays the alleged destruction of several Indian fighter aircraft, including Rafale, Su-30MKI, MiG-29 and Mirage 2000 fighters, along with Heron drones and S-400 air-defence systems. The production further depicts attacks on strategic locations, including Parliament, Kandla Port and INS Vikrant.
However, the claims shown in the video have not been supported by photographic, satellite or other independently verifiable evidence accompanying the production. The heavy reliance on AI-generated and animated sequences has consequently prompted criticism on social media, with commentators questioning why the alleged scale of destruction was not accompanied by authentic battlefield imagery or independently verified evidence.
The video comes amid an ongoing information contest between India and Pakistan over the outcome and military impact of Operation Sindoor. India has previously released footage and satellite imagery relating to strikes on Pakistani military infrastructure, while Pakistan has continued to dispute India’s account of the operation and highlight its own claims of damage inflicted on Indian military assets.
One of the claims highlighted in the Pakistani production concerns the destruction of India’s S-400 air-defence systems. That assertion has faced particular scrutiny because Prime Minister Narendra Modi subsequently visited Adampur Air Force Station and was seen addressing Indian Air Force personnel near an S-400 system, undermining the claim that the system had been destroyed.
The latest Pakistani production also arrives shortly after the release of Discovery’s Declassified: Operation Sindoor, a two-part documentary featuring accounts from Indian military officials and presenting India’s perspective on the 88-hour operation. The documentary has itself become part of the broader dispute over how the conflict should be remembered and portrayed publicly.
The emergence of AI-generated war imagery highlights a growing challenge in modern military information warfare, where realistic-looking digital content can be used to present a particular narrative without necessarily providing evidence of events shown on screen. In the case of Fizaon Ke Pasban, the gap between the dramatic visuals and the absence of independently verifiable evidence has become a central point of criticism.
For audiences following Operation Sindoor, the episode also underlines the importance of distinguishing between digitally generated depictions, official military claims and independently verified battlefield evidence. As India and Pakistan continue to present competing accounts of the 2025 conflict, AI-generated content is increasingly becoming another tool in the information battle surrounding modern warfare.
