Operation Sindoor: Noted Austrian aviation historian has remarked there are no doubts that the Indian Air Force (IAF) struck Kiara Hills Nuclear Depot.
Tom Copper remarked that this attack on the nuclear depot was the biggest reason why Pakistan immediately started asking for a ceasefire with India after Operation Sindoor last year.
Operation Sindoor-IAF Statement And Cooper’s Statements
The IAF has denied that it targeted the nuclear depot but Cooper remarked he is quite convinced that the facility was indeed hit hard and it was because of this incident that Pakistan literally “begged” for an immediate ceasefire.
DON'T MISS
Cooper remarked that the attack was like a statement to Pakistan that Indians could hit them hard anywhere they want and whenever they want, with as much ammunition and power as they want.
Cooper went on to remark that Pakistan made some highly surprising, urgent calls to Washington and New Delhi, asking for a ceasefire.
The aviation expert cited that there have been several proofs that the nuclear depot was indeed hit. He remarked that there have been a series of videos that were shot by Pakistanis that demonstrated contrails from Indian missiles coming in and diving down powerfully before hitting the depot’s landslide. Cooper said that the smoke originating from the radar station of what was possibly the Pakistani Air Force’s 4091st Squadron supports this theory.
Operation Sindoor-What Caused The Attack?
Operation Sindoor, which was launched by India on May 7-8 in 2025, was a response of India to April 22, 2025 Pahalgam attack in which Islamist militants from The Resistance Front (TRF), tied to Lashkar-e-Taiba, killed 26 Indians using M4 carbines and AK-47s. The militants targeted the innocent Indians based on their religion. The incident happened in Kashmir’s Baisaran Valley where mostly Hindu tourists, plus one Christian and a local Muslim from India were shot in broad daylight.
