The recent extension of the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) by Pakistan for the Rahim Yar Khan Airbase, closing its sole runway until 22 August, underscores the lasting impact of India’s Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. The operation utilized precision weapons like the BrahMos-A missile, resulting in significant damage to the airbase, as evidenced by satellite imagery showing a large crater and extensive structural damage. This prolonged shutdown raises questions about Pakistan’s ability to quickly restore military infrastructure, reflecting the effective response of the Indian armed forces in safeguarding national security and countering cross-border terrorism.
