DGMO reiterates how multi-layered counter-drone, air defence shield foiled Pak air attacks

In a press briefing, the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) stated that the budgetary and policy support provided by the government to the forces over the past decade helped build an impregnable air defence shield that helped repulse attacks by Pakistani forces during India’s anti-terror ‘Operation Sindoor’. Air Marshal A.K. Bharti further said that all airbases and military bases are operational and ready for their next missions.

“Our fight is with the terrorists and not with Pakistani military or civilians,” he said.

Director General of Military Operations Rajiv Ghai explained that the multi-layered counter-drone and air defence grid proved to be the decisive shield that foiled all Pakistan air attacks on the night of May 9 and 10.

The officials said during Operation Sindoor, the defence systems destroyed Chinese and Turkish-made drones and PL-15 missiles, preventing them from entering Indian airspace.

Sharing videos of a crater created by Indian bombs and missiles at Pakistan’s Noor Khan airbase, Ghai said that Indian airfields remain fully operational.

“I want to praise the Border Security Force also, who complemented our efforts by joining our counter-armed response,” he said.

“There has been absolute synergy in the three services, and not only have we been supported by government agencies, but also the 140 crore people,” he said.

“Our fight was against terror, and on May 7, we hit only terror hubs, but the Pakistani Army converted it into its own fight by supporting terrorists,” said Air Marshal Bharti.
