HIGHLIGHTING the significance of "bold and precise" air operations during Operation Sindoor, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh of the Indian Air Force asserted on Wednesday that it not only shaped the military outcome but also restored the rightful place of offensive air action in the national consciousness.
"Our performance in Operation Sindoor fills us with professional pride. We proved to the world how air power can be effectively used in shaping military outcomes in just a few days," he said.
Air Chief Marshal Singh was addressing air warriors on the occasion of the 93rd Air Force Day at the Hindon air base.
He described Operation Sindoor as a shining example of what can be achieved through "meticulous planning, disciplined training and determined execution". "India's bold and precise attacks restored the rightful place of offensive air action in the national consciousness," he said.
