India's decisive victory in modern warfare

In the early hours of May 7, Operation Sindoor marked a powerful shift in how India deals with terrorism.

This wasn't just another military move it was a clear message to the world: India will not stay silent in the face of cross-border attacks. The operation came just two weeks after the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, where 26 innocent people including one Nepali citizen were killed. The attack shocked the country and united the people in anger and grief. The Indian government responded quickly and firmly, deciding that enough was enough.

In a well-planned strike, Indian forces targetted nine terrorist camps belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). These nine terrorist camps were Sawai Nala camp in Muzaffarabad, Syedna Bilal Camp in Muzaffarabad, Gulpur camp in Kotli, Barnala camp in Bhimber, Abbas camp in Kotli, Sarjal camp in Sialkot, Mehmoona Joya camp in Sialkot, Markaz Taiba camp in Muridke, and Markaz Subhanallah in Bahawalpur.

India chose its targets wisely, making sure the mission was focused only on destroying terrorist bases. The goal was clear: punish the guilty without starting a bigger conflict. This operation marked a significant shift in India's military strategy, leading to a swift and decisive victory over Pakistan.

Renowned international analysts such as Tom Cooper, John Spencer and Jennifer Zeng have provided detailed assessments of India's performance during this conflict, highlighting the strategic and tactical elements that contributed to India's success.
