India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ Deals Decisive Blow to Pakistan’s Military Infrastructure in 4-Day Blitz[/caption]
In a swift and strategic offensive, India’s four-day military campaign dubbed ‘Operation Sindoor’ has inflicted unprecedented damage on Pakistan’s terror and military infrastructure, marking one of the most intense cross-border escalations in recent years.
Launched in the early hours of May 7, Operation Sindoor was India’s direct retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. Backed by precise intelligence, the Indian armed forces executed rapid and coordinated strikes across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), targeting nine terror camps, multiple airbases, and military installations.
According to defense officials, the first wave of attacks neutralized approximately 100 terrorists within 26 minutes. High-value assets including Scalp cruise missiles, Hammer-guided bombs, M777 howitzers with Excalibur shells, and kamikaze drones were deployed to maximum effect. Pakistan’s counter-efforts, described as “desperate,” largely failed to breach Indian defenses.
A US-mediated ceasefire, now in effect, has temporarily halted hostilities, though reports indicate sporadic violations across the Line of Control (LoC). The ceasefire brought the focus to battlefield outcomes, with Indian officials confident in their superior performance.
Indian strikes penetrated deep, with five terror camps destroyed up to 30 km inside PoK and others up to 100 km across the international border. Notably, India’s Rafale jets targeted military hubs in Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, Chunian, Pasrur, and Sialkot during a sustained overnight offensive on May 10, crippling radar systems, ammunition depots, and command centers.
Meanwhile, Pakistan attempted to retaliate with drone and missile attacks on 36 Indian locations, using 300-400 Turkish-made Songar drones. Most were shot down by India’s robust air defense network comprising S-400 Triumf, Akash, and Barak-8 systems, supported by an integrated radar and command-control grid.
The Indian military's response included not only neutralization of drones but also counterstrikes on Pakistani air defenses, particularly in Lahore and Karachi. These developments signify the most serious military exchange between the two nuclear-armed neighbors since the 2019 Balakot strike.
Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, briefing the press post-ceasefire, stated that Pakistan had suffered "unsustainable losses," including the crippling of strategic airbases such as Skardu, Sargodha, Jacobabad, and Bholari. The precision of Indian strikes reportedly led to a “complete breakdown” in Pakistan’s offensive and defensive military capacity.
While both sides reported casualties, Indian officials emphasized that the operation had met all strategic objectives, setting a new benchmark in India’s counter-terrorism and military deterrence doctrine.India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ Deals Decisive Blow to Pakistan’s Military Infrastructure in 4-Day Blitz
