During the NDTV Defence Summit, Air Marshal Narmdeshwar Tiwari revealed that the Indian Air Force (IAF) successfully thwarted a Pakistani attack involving Bayraktar TB2 drones during Operation Sindoor in May 2025. Utilizing advanced air defense systems, the IAF intercepted these drones before they could strike an Indian airbase, leading to a retaliatory strike on the Sukkur UAV hangar, which housed multiple drones. This operation significantly degraded Pakistan’s drone warfare capabilities, highlighting India’s technological superiority and effectiveness in counter-drone operations. The strike not only destroyed key UAV assets but also showcased India’s multi-layered defense strategy and innovative weaponry, ensuring sustained air dominance in the region.
