Singh, who gave a presentation on the attacks by IAF during Operation Sindoor using satellite imagery and video of Indian arms systems, said: “[With] Sagw System – Most [the] S-400- We have at least five fighters confirmed and have a large aircraft, which can be either an elector. [electronic intelligence] Aircraft or a aew and c [airborne early warning and control] plane. ,
AEW & C aircraft, he said, was taken out at a distance of about 300 km, making it the longest “recorded surface-to-hill”. He described the S -400 air defense system, acquired from Russia, as a “a game -shining”, whose border stopped Pakistan’s fighter jets.
He said that India’s military attacks damaged or destroyed at least two commands and control centers in Murid and Chakla, at least six large and small radars, two SAGW systems in Lahore and Okara, runways in Sargodha and Rahim Yar Khan Airbase, and Hangars in Sukkur, Bholri and Jakbad airbase.
Intelligence reports have indicated that an AEV and C aircraft were destroyed inside the hanger in Bholari and some F -16 was damaged in Shahbaz airbase in Jackbabad, he said. He said that the hangar kept the UAV in Sukur Airbase.
Singh said that India’s air defense systems and missiles had destroyed a large number of Pakistani drones and long distance weapons. The Indian side recovered a lot of debris from these drones and missiles, which is being studied by the Armed Forces and Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) to learn more about the characteristics of Pakistan’s weapons systems and their launch sites.
Singh said that in the early stages of Operation Sindoor, the IAF was tasked to target terrorist infrastructure at two sites-both Jaish-e-Mohammed (Jame) headquarters in Badalpur and Lashkar-e-Tibiba base at Muridke, both were asked to load the Punjab provinces of Pakistan.
A proxy for Singh, Singh said, “Talking about the decision to respond to the Pahalgam attack, which was done by the resistance front (TRF), Singh said:” It was very clear that this time it should be a loud talk. [terrorist] Launch pads and training areas. Terrorist leadership should be challenged. ,
India has responded to other recent attacks carried out by Pakistan-based terrorist groups, carrying our surgical strikes at terrorist bases in LoC or with an attack on a air strike on a game facility in Balakot in 2019.
While Singh did not give details of the weapons used to attack Jame and let the headquarters go to the headquarters, the report states that the air-launched version of the Brahmos cruise missile and other missiles was used. He said that IAF decided to go with long distance weapons to keep itself safe. [Pakistan’s] Air defense “and since the targets were all” rigid structures “.
After targeting the terrorist infrastructure in early May 7, the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) informed its Pakistan counterpart that only the terrorist target “to avenge Pahgam” was killed. Singh said that the DGMO of India also clarified that “there was no intention of attacking any military goals [and] So we can say it from here ”but the Pakistani side made it clear that they would answer.
Pakistan’s drone and missile vengeance thwarted by Indian aerial rescue
Pakistan retaliated with drones, loater mons and missiles. Singh said that it also tried to saturate air defense systems in airfields and army installations using a large number of drones, but was neutralized by anti-drone system and anti-aircraft guns, before they could cause any damage, Singh said.
Intelligence reports suggested that Pakistan “was planning something very big” on May 9, the Indian side decided that it would respond to the attacks on any military installations by targeting the major Pakistani military facilities. When the Pakistani attack took place, the Indian side responded with an attack on the airbase and other facilities across the border, said.
“That night, we had no hold bar and we decided that we would leave and we would attack the pan-front, we would increase his resources. The idea was to give him a hint that ‘Look, we can attack you deep from inside, wherever we want’,” Singh said.
Subsequently, Pakistan’s DGMO sought talks with the Indian side and due to this, hostility was stopped on 10 May. Singh gave India’s success a clear direction to the “very clear political will” and the armed forces without any restrictions.
“If there were any obstacles, they were self-made. The forces decided what would be our engagement rules … what would be the ladder of the growth, on which we want to ride … no one, I repeat, there is no restriction on us,” he said, mainly defense employees, General Anil Chauhan, and National Security Advisor Ajit Dawl played an important role.
Singh listed several investments from Operation Sindoor, including the primacy of Air Power. He said, “People have come to know that Air Power is the first respondent that any country has and air power … can react in quick time, make deep attacks from inside and attack with accuracy to achieve its objectives without any collateral,” he said.
Given that the struggle ended in less than four days as a result of the effective use of air power, Singh said that another Techway was that the country spends the cost of constantly in war. “If we can stop, there is nothing better than this, but if we are forced, if the war begins … then we must be very clear that we can reach a platform where we can finish it,” he said.
Singh warned against drawing wrong lessons using drones in conflicts around the world, and said: “Drone is very good tools for many things, but I don’t think drones can only win war.
