Acknowledge Failure

Deputy Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Rahul R Singh’s candid revelations about Operation Sindoor at a FICCI event

- 

‘New Age Military Technologies’ on 4 July in New Delhi bring home the fact that India faces a multi-pronged threat when it comes to dealing with its adversary on the western front - Pakistan.

The four-day military confrontation between the archrivals was a complex engagement involving multiple actors, characterised by advanced intelligence sharing, real-time battlefield support, and coordinated military assistance. India, in fact, confronted three adversaries along one border ~ Pakistan, China and Turkey, with the latter countries offering extensive support to Islamabad that kept it ahead of India during the operation. These three were the known enemies but Singh’s statements indicated that there were other forces too that the Indian system was not prepared to face.
