According to John Fricker's book on 1965 Air War total IAF losses were 73 as compared to PAF's 19 . The Indian losses of 73 includes destroyed in aerial combat as well as on ground during PAFs air raids on Indian bases .

According to autobiography of Chuck Yeager who was serving as USAF observer in Pakistan during 1971 war , Indian losses were more then 100 . According to another aviation book Fighter Aces Pakistan destroyed over 100 Indian planes both in air and on ground while lost total 32 of their own during 1971 war .

After these two wars , India lost two planes during 1999 Kargil skirmish but both were hit by SAMs carried by Pakistan soldiers .

And now on Feb 27 so far Pakistan claims officially downing two more Indian planes while unofficial reports are that further then these 2 IAF lost one more plane plus a chopper but PAF do not claim this as yet !

This questions have no conclusive answer. There will be multiple results from Pakistani source Indian source and international source . It's upto you whom to believe or take the average number of those figure .
