Highlights:
- Indian Army intercepts and neutralizes Pakistan’s missile and drone attacks on the Golden Temple and Punjab cities.
- Defence systems like L-70 guns, AKASH missiles, and indigenous radar networks played key roles.
- Pakistan retaliated after India’s Operation Sindoor destroyed nine terror camps in a 25-minute strike.
- Only 10% of India’s ground air defence ammunition was used, signalling strong preparedness.
In a powerful show of strength and precision, the Indian Army successfully thwarted a series of missile and drone attacks launched by Pakistan, which included direct attempts to target the revered Golden Temple in Amritsar. The strikes came in retaliation to Operation Sindoor, an Indian counteroffensive that wiped out nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in under half an hour on May 7. After failing to hit Indian military installations for three days, Pakistani forces turned their focus toward civilian areas and religious landmarks.
A soldier involved in the air defence operation revealed that Kamikaze drones and various missile types were used in the Pakistani offensive, including Turkish-origin micro-drones such as the YIHA-III and Songar. However, every incoming threat was intercepted with precision, safeguarding cities across Punjab and ensuring the sanctity of religious sites like the Golden Temple remained unharmed.
Major General Kartik C. Seshadri, General Officer Commanding of the 15 Infantry Division, detailed the sophisticated multi-layered air defence strategy used by Indian forces. This includes round-the-clock surveillance, a network of detection systems, and a well-coordinated mix of missile and gun platforms. Central to the response was the indigenous AKASH system, which integrates Army, Air Force, and Navy resources to offer real-time threat detection and response.
Despite the intensity of the conflict, Indian forces used just a fraction of their air defence capabilities, underlining the depth of their preparedness. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s stance was echoed on the ground, with Major General Seshadri reaffirming that Operation Sindoor was merely paused—not concluded—and hinted at further action if provoked.
