In an official statement, the Indian government on Wednesday said that without crossing the Line of Control or international boundary, Indian forces struck 바카라œterrorist infrastructure" and 바카라œeliminated바카라 multiple threats. Additionally, Operation Sindoor demonstrated technological self-reliance in military operations.

In a press release titled, 바카라˜Operation SINDOOR: The Rise of Aatmanirbhar Innovation in National Security바카라™, the government mentioned that Pakistan attempted to engage a number of military targets in Northern and Western India  on the night of May 7 and 8 May. However, the attempts were neutralised by the Integrated Counter UAS Grid and Air Defence systems, stating that technology is the first line of protection.

바카라œOperation SINDOOR is not just a story of tactical success. It is a validation of India바카라™s defence indigenization policies.바카라

In terms of air defence, the statement mentioned that systems like the Pechora, OSA-AK and Low-level air defence guns were employed, in addition to the indigenous system called Akash - which is Short Range Surface to Air Missile system to protect vulnerable areas and vulnerable points from air attacks.

India's offensive strikes

Loitering munitions - also known as 바카라˜suicide drones바카라™바카라™ or 바카라˜kamikaze drones바카라™ - were used to destroy high-value targets. Pakistan바카라™s key airbases, Noor Khan and Rahimyar Khan, were targeted with surgical precision, the press release stated.

바카라œIndian Air Force bypassed and jammed Pakistan바카라™s Chinese-supplied air defence systems, completing the mission in just 23 minutes, demonstrating India바카라™s technological edge,바카라 the statement says.

The statement also mentions neutralized, recovered and identified foreign weapons used by- like Pieces of PL-15 missiles (of Chinese origin), Turkish-origin UAVs, named "Yiha" and Long-range rockets, quadcopters and commercial drones. 바카라œIndia바카라™s indigenous air defence and electronic warfare networks remained superior.바카라

Multiple defensive layers 

The press release also mentions the employment of a mix of defence systems that stopped Pakistan Air Force attacks on Indian airfields and logistic installations during the night of May 9 and 10. The blend involved counter unmanned aerial systems and electronic warfare assets.

From the International boundary inward, counter unmanned aerial systems, shoulder-fired weapons, legacy air defence weapons and modern air defence weapon systems, government's statement said.

On May 11, Indian Space Research Organisation's Chairman V Narayanan also mentioned that at least 10 satellites were engaged in monitoring a 7,000 km seashore area for the safety of citizens.

Lastly, the government statement  speaks of the combination of the private-sector innovation, public-sector execution and military vision which enabled 바카라œIndia to not only defend its people and territory but also assert its role as a hi-tech military power in the 21st century. 바카라œ It added that in future conflicts, the battlefield will increasingly be shaped by technology, and India is ready for it.
