Operation Sindoor: What India Achieved?
India launched a massive strike deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied J&K
to avenge the brutal killing of its civilians. The operation was an absolute
success. Here is what India achieved:
1. Nine Terror Camps Destroyed
● India neutralised 9 high-value terror launchpads across Pakistan and PoK.
● Targets belonged to Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and Hizbul
Mujahideen. The locations were identified as key training and
operational centers for planning attacks against India.
2. Deep Strikes into Pakistan’s Mainland
● India has changed the terms of engagement, displaying willingness to
strike deep into Pakistan’s heartland.
● India shredded the notion that terrorists are separate from terrorist
backers and thus targeted both, shifting to a new paradigm.
● Strikes extended hundreds of kilometers inside Pakistan, not just PoJK.
● India struck targets even in Punjab province, considered a strategic
stronghold of Pakistan’s military.
● India struck at sensitive terror hubs such as Bahawalpur, places which
even USA had not dared to send its drones.
● India has made it clear that neither the LoC nor internal Pakistani
geography is off-limits if terror emanates from its soil
● Through its strikes, India has proved to the world that every inch of
Pakistan was under reach.
3. Red line drawn
● India’s response asserted a doctrinal shift toward calibrated deterrence.
● Operation Sindoor has drawn a red line Pakistan can no longer ignore –
that terrorism as state policy will trigger targeted, visible consequences.
4. New paradigm against terror
● For the first time, India decisively rejected the distinction between
terrorists and their sponsors, taking action against both.
● It also undermined the long-standing assumption that certain influential
rogue elements within the Pakistani state could orchestrate terrorist
activities with impunity.
5. Exposed Pakistan’s Fragile Air Defence
● Indian forces successfully bypassed or jammed Pakistan’s air defence
grid.
● The swift and precise nature of the strikes, conducted within a 23-minute
window, highlighted gaps in Pakistan’s air defense systems.
● Indian Rafale jets equipped with SCALP missiles and HAMMER bombs
executed the mission without any reported losses, demonstrating
technological and strategic superiority.
6. Projection of India’s robust air defence preparedness
● India demonstrated the evolving nature of modern air defense.
● India defended its own airspace with a robust, layered architecture
● Also, India successfully penetrated the Chinese-made systems fielded by
Pakistan, in a reminder that defense is not about what you buy but about
what you integrate.
● Akashteer Air Defence System proved its impact by neutralizing hundreds
of Pakistani drones and missiles and is now positioned as a global export
contender.
7. Precision Without Escalation
● No military or civilian infrastructure targeted — only terror assets.
● India followed its Zero Tolerance doctrine while avoiding broader
escalation.
8. Elimination of Key Terror Operatives
● Several dreaded terrorists eliminated, including those on India’s most
wanted list.
● Leadership of multiple terror modules wiped out in a single night.
9. Damage to Pakistan’s Military establishment
● India’s counter military actions on night of 9th and 10th May also
became the first instance of a country damaging air force camps of a
nuclear country. Within 3 hours 11 bases were attacked including Nur
Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sukkur, Sialkot, Pasrur, Chunian, Sargodha, Skaru,
Bholari and Jacobabad.
● This led to destruction of 20% infrastructure of Pakistan’s airforce.
● India bombed Pakistan’s Bholari Air Base killing over 50 people including
Pakistan’s squadron leader Usman Yousuf, 4 airmen among others as well
as destroying Pakistan’s fighter jets.
10. Tri-Service Synergy
● Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force executed coordinated strikes — proof of
India’s growing joint warfare capability.
11. Global Message Sent
● Showed the world that India will not wait for permission to defend its
people.
● Terror will be punished — anytime, anywhere.
● It also showed that terrorists and their masterminds have no place to
hide.
● If Pakistan retaliates, not only can India handle them, but It will also hit
and twist the knife if it comes to that.
12. Support from across the world
● In earlier conflicts, as soon as something used to escalate against
Pakistan, most countries used to descend on India asking for restraint.
● This time however, multiple world leaders came in support of India’s
fight against terrorism.
13. Changing the narrative on Kashmir
● For the first time, the relations between India and Paksitan was seen in
light of terrorism.
● It was completely de-hyphenated from the Kashmir issue.
● This was achieved through precise strikes by Operation Sindoor only on
terror infrastructure.
