On Indian Air Force Day, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh celebrated the success of Operation Sindoor, which was launched in response to a Pakistan-backed terrorist attack in South Kashmir. He emphasized that the operation exemplified the effectiveness of meticulous planning, disciplined training, and the use of indigenously developed weaponry, which successfully targeted key terrorist hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, including Muridke and Bahawalpur, home to terror organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. Singh highlighted how the operation not only demonstrated India’s offensive air capabilities but also restored the significance of air power in the national military strategy. Moreover, he noted the effectiveness of India’s air defense systems in intercepting Pakistani drone and missile attacks, thereby safeguarding vital assets and affirming the readiness of the Indian Air Force in contemporary warfare. The operation’s success underscores India’s commitment to a robust defense posture and the critical role of home-grown military technologies in enhancing national security. The broader significance of these developments lies in their potential to deter future threats and reinforce India’s strategic autonomy in an increasingly volatile regional environment.
