Dares foreign media to show 'one image' as evidence, says nine terror targets in Pak were smashed with precision
INDIA smashed nine terror targets with precision, crisscrossing Pakistan, under Operation Sindoor, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval said in Chennai on Friday and dared foreign media to show "even one image" of damage to any Indian structure in the war.
Speaking for the first time in public about the operation, Doval said he is proud of the role played by indigenous technologies in the targeted attacks. "We are really proud of how much indigenous content was used (in Operation Sindoor). From BrahMos to radars to integrated air control and command systems, we used entirely Indian content," said NSA Doval.
Speaking at the 62nd convocation ceremony of IIT Madras, Doval said the entire operation was carried out with precision within 23 minutes and caused no collateral damage to India. Urging students to become technological warriors for the country, he underscored the need for technological self-reliance to protect the nation from external threats.
"India will completely indigenise its communication systems to safeguard national security and ensure data protection," he asserted.
