Following a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, the Indian Army held a press conference on Operation Sindoor, confirming an air force strike on a Karachi military base and claiming to have shot down a Chinese-made Pakistani missile.
Operation Sindoor: In the wake of the conflict between India and Pakistan, the Indian Army conducted a press conference on Operation Sindoor, revealing several key details. The operation involved several significant actions taken against Pakistan and terrorists. Here are the key revelations highlighting the Indian Army's confidence and robust security measures.
Operation Sindoor: The Army Press Conference
The Directors General of the three major branches of the Indian Armed Forces (Air Force, Army, and Navy) detailed the success of Operation Sindoor during the press conference. The Air Force confirmed an attack on a Karachi military base as part of Operation Sindoor. This strike not only weakened Pakistan's military capabilities but also served as a message that India is prepared to retaliate decisively against any aggression.
Pakistani Chinese Missile Shot Down
The Indian Army also revealed that it had shot down a Chinese-made PL-15 air-to-air missile used by Pakistan. Debris from the missile was displayed. This missile was used by Pakistan during an attack on India. The success was presented as a testament to the effectiveness of India's indigenous air defense system, "Akash," which played a crucial role in the operation.
Pakistan's Support for Terrorists
Air Marshal A.K. Bharti stated that the Pakistani army had collaborated with terrorists to plan attacks on Indian borders. He said, "We have once again witnessed the Pakistani army's support for terrorists. This was the reason behind our retaliatory action. Our fight is against terrorists and their support structure, not the Pakistan Army."
The Army's Mission: Eliminating Terrorists
The Indian Army clarified that its primary objective was not the Pakistani army, but rather to target terrorists and their bases. Lieutenant Rajiv Ghai explained that the nature of terrorist activities had changed in recent years, with innocent civilians being targeted. He stated, "Pakistan's terrorist actions necessitated this step."
Pakistan's Cup of Sin Overflowed
During the press conference, DGMO Lieutenant Rajiv Ghai stated that Pakistan's "cup of sin" overflowed following the Pulwama attack. He clarified that Pakistan's support for terrorists and targeting of innocent civilians led the Indian Army to target terrorist bases.
The Army Ready for Future Missions
The Indian Army's press conference also emphasized their readiness for any future missions. Their objective remains the elimination of terrorists, not a war with the Pakistan Army. The army also confirmed that all airbases are fully operational and prepared to meet any challenges.
