Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has  said India’s “high-impact, short-duration” operational capability was demonstrated by the armed forces during Operation Sindoor, while urging air force commanders to draw lessons from the decisive military action and stay prepared to deal with every future challenge.

According to media reports, In his address at the Air Force Commanders’ Conclave in New Delhi, Singh also underlined that “21st-century warfare is not just a war of weapons”, but also a “war of ideas, technology and adaptability”.

He praised the courage, speed and precision with which the Indian Air Force (IAF) destroyed terror camps during Operation Sindoor and effectively handled the “irresponsible reaction” from Pakistan after the Indian strikes, the defence ministry said.

India launched the military operation early on May 7 and decimated multiple terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Pakistan also launched offensives against India and all subsequent counter-offensives by New Delhi were carried out under Operation Sindoor.

“India’s high-impact, short-duration operational capability was demonstrated by the armed forces during Operation Sindoor,” Singh said, as he described the IAF as a technologically-advanced, operationally-agile, strategically-confident and future-oriented force, which safeguards national interests amid the constantly-evolving global order.
