The Indian Air Force’s S-400 unit, Sudarshan Chakra, is set to receive three citations for its exceptional performance during Operation Sindoor, notably for shooting down a PAF Saab 2000 Erieye at 314 km and intercepting a CKG-400 missile. These achievements underscore India’s technological advancements in air defense, significantly crippling Pakistan’s aerial capabilities and imposing a 200 km no-fly zone. While the S-400’s success highlights India’s strategic edge, challenges remain regarding vulnerabilities and the need for ongoing investment in electronic warfare and advanced missile systems. Overall, the operation has reshaped South Asian air warfare dynamics in favor of India.
