In May 2025, during Operation Sindoor, India conducted precision airstrikes on Pakistan’s strategically vital Jacobabad Airbase in Sindh province, causing significant damage, especially to the hangars housing F-16 fighter jets critical to Pakistan’s air capabilities. Subsequent satellite imagery from November 2025 reveals that Pakistan is carefully dismantling parts of the damaged hangar for internal damage assessment and phased repairs, indicating ongoing but slow reconstruction efforts. Despite these efforts, the airbase remains non-operational six months after the strikes, underscoring the lasting impact of India’s surgical strikes on Pakistan’s military infrastructure. The base, a key maintenance and deployment hub for advanced aircraft including F-16s and JF-17s, is critical to Pakistan’s defense. Analyst imagery suggests that Pakistan is prioritizing restoration but faces significant challenges due to the complexity of repair and the extent of damage sustained. This exemplifies India’s tactical dominance in undermining Pakistan’s operational readiness following the retaliatory strikes.
