Air Chief Marshal AP Singh: In a long speech, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh talked about the important things that Operation Sindoor had done and emphasized how precise and successful the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) operations are. He said that the IAF was able to destroy four or five Pakistani fighter jets that were on the ground during the strikes. Most of the planes were F-16s. A C-130 class aircraft and a high-value observation plane were also attacked, showing that the IAF can destroy important assets deep inside enemy territory.
Targeting all of the enemy’s infrastructure
A lot of damage was also done to Pakistani military infrastructure as part of the mission. Four radar stations, two command centers, and the runways at two airbases were among the most important targets. Also, three hangars were damaged at different stations, which made Pakistan less ready for operations. Singh pointed out that these moves made Pakistan’s air defense much less effective and hampered their military operations.
Using new technology in a smart way
The use of India’s powerful S-400 surface-to-air missile system was a key part of the operation’s success. Singh called the device a “game changer” because it lets the IAF shoot at targets from distances that have never been possible before. During this operation, a target about 300 kilometers inside Pakistani territory was hit, which is the longest known surface-to-air kill.
Strong leadership and excellent operations
Singh praised the clear goals and strong leadership that made Operation Sindoor possible. He said that the operation began with a clear purpose and ended quickly when its goals were met, without needless tensions rising. This strategy not only kept the number of possible deaths to a minimum but it also showed that India was committed to strategic accuracy in military actions.
Response to Overblown Claims
When Pakistan said it shot down Indian planes during the war, Singh called these claims “manohar kahaniyan,” or “entertaining stories.” He said that the Indian Air Force had done a great job and that the results of the operation showed how strong India’s military was and how well it planned its operations.
