The Indian Air Force (IAF) is strategically employing a drip-feed approach to gradually disclose its operational successes against the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) during Operation Sindoor, executed from May 7-10, 2025. This method aims to maintain psychological pressure on Pakistan while revealing extensive damage to PAF capabilities, including strikes on key targets like AWACS and radar systems. By releasing information incrementally, the IAF is undermining Pakistan’s narrative of resilience and enhancing deterrence. Analysts view this as a calculated psychological warfare tactic reminiscent of historical precedents, effectively keeping Pakistan on the defensive as more details about the operation emerge.
