India's air defence success: A saga of decade-long toil
The Morning Standard
|May 10, 2025
Tech advanced airspace defence network
THE surgical precision with which India destroyed terror camps in Pakistan and its occupied territories in Kashmir not only asserted the country's status as one of the most forceful nations in counter-terror operations, but also exposed the vulnerabilities in Pakistan's defence network.
It took over a decade for India to strategically strengthen its air defence system and enhance its combat power by incorporating cutting-edge warfare technologies. "Many experts believe the successful execution of Operation Sindoor has sent a clear and unequivocal message that India is no longer just capable of defending its skies—it now commands, dictates, and controls them," remarked a senior official.
It was a loss of face for Pakistan after India avenged Pahalgam terror attack. In a move to reclaim its lost image and shore up receding spirits, Pakistan escalated the situation in the border areas by launching missile strikes on Indian military installations across Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat.
