OPERATION SINDOOR Immediately after the cowardly Pakistani sponsored #PahalgamTerrorAttack, the Indian Navy validated the anti-missile and anti-aircraft defence capability in a complex threat environment using a cross platform cooperative mechanism. The operation leveraged #IndianNavy's comprehensive layered Fleet Air Defence mechanism, enabling quick and clear distinction between commercial, neutral and hostile aircraft or flying objects, and neutralisation of threats at extended ranges. The #CarrierBattleGroup with its integral Air Wing provides the first layer of this layered mechanism. The presence of our #AircraftCarrier with a large number of Mig 29K fighters and Air Borne Early Warning helicopters prevented any suspicious or hostile aircraft from closing within several hundred kilometres. Our powerful CBG, with formidable offensive capability was able to operate with impunity and maintained an uncontested presence in the area of operations, compelling the Pakistani Air Elements to remain bottled up close to the coast denying any opportunity to be a threat in maritime space. The #IndianNavy’s dominance thus ensured that should we choose to, we can strike at will. #OperationSindoor Ministry of Defence, Government of India HQ IDS ADG PI - INDIAN ARMY Indian Air Force
