India Launches Operation Sindoor: Precision Strikes Devastate Pakistan's Military and Economic Fronts
  • India's air defense systems effectively countered incoming threats during these operations, revealing vulnerabilities in Pakistan's HQ-9 air defense systems.

  • Navy Commodore Raghu Nair emphasized that India's responses have been measured and responsible, despite ongoing misinformation from Pakistan.

  • In addition to military actions, India has closed the Attari-Wagah border and suspended trade with Pakistan, increasing economic pressure on its neighbor amid existing inflation.

  • The Indian government has also enacted a visa cancellation for all Pakistanis in India and imposed a ban on Pakistani artists, further isolating Pakistan culturally and diplomatically.

  • India's military actions are supported by non-kinetic strategies, including psychological operations and information dominance, aimed at isolating Pakistan economically and diplomatically.

  • Commodore Nair warned that any future escalation from Pakistan would provoke a decisive response from India.

  • On the night of May 9 and 10, 2025, India targeted 11 Pakistani air force bases, marking a historic military action against a nuclear-armed nation.

  • These combined military and non-military efforts underscore India's commitment to a zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and its determination to protect national interests.

  • India has initiated Operation Sindoor, a strategic military initiative aimed at dismantling Pakistan's military capabilities in response to recent provocations from Islamabad.

  • As part of this operation, the Indian Armed Forces executed precision missile strikes on nine terrorist facilities, targeting groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba, with significant impacts on Pakistan's military infrastructure.

  • These strikes reportedly caused substantial damage, destroying 20% of Pakistan's Air Force infrastructure and resulting in the deaths of over 50 personnel, including a squadron leader.

  • This military response was triggered by Pakistan's drone and missile attacks from May 7 to May 9, prompting India to deploy kamikaze drones to neutralize Pakistani air defenses, particularly in Lahore.
