Briefing the media, Air Marshal A K Bharti, Director General Air Operations, presented visual evidence of missile remnants. "You can see the pieces of it on the screen," he said, showcasing debris of the PL-15 long range missile that fell inside Indian territory, including a relatively intact rear section recovered from Hoshiarpur, Punjab.

The Armed Forces intercepted and neutralised a range of high-tech foreign weapons used by Pakistan, including Chinese-origin PL-15 air-to-air missiles and Turkish Byker YIHA III Kamikaze drones.
