New Delhi
The Indian Army, Air Force and Navy gave a befitting reply to Pakistan on several fronts in Operation Sindoor, which ran between 7 and 10 May. Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi, Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh and Naval Chief Admiral Dinesh Tripathi received a completely “free hand” from the political leadership, on which the three armies took coordinated and decisive action. During this entire operation, the style of the three army chiefs was different, but the only goal was.
Air Chief Marshal Singh is said to be an impeccable test fighter pilot, who does not hesitate to take risks. Army Chief General Dwivedi is the most comfortable among the soldiers, but is very strict when needed. At the same time, Admiral Tripathi was ready to attack Karachi Port on the morning of May 10, but he stopped after a peace appeal from Pakistani DGMO.
We snatched the morsel from your mouth: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, NSA Ajit Doval and CDS General Anil Chauhan were present at the national security meeting on 10 May. The Chiefs of the three armies also attended this meeting. At the stop of the naval attack on Karachi, PM Modi smiled to Admiral Tripathi and said, “We snatched the morsel from your mouth, you will get a chance again.” PM Modi also clarified that he was ready even if he fired a missile on Gujarat in response to the Pakistan Karachi attack.
Air Force’s befitting reply in operation
The Indian Air Force Chief said in Bengaluru that between May 7–10, 5 fighter aircraft, a large AEW & C or Elint aircraft of Pakistan were killed. On May 10, the hanger with the C-30s VVIP transport aircraft was destroyed, 2 f-16 standing on the ground in Jackbabad at Chakla Airbase in Rawalpindi and the Pakistani Northern Air Command became blind after the attack on Nur Khan (Chakla) airbase. An AEW & C aircraft from 315 km away from the S-400 missile was killed, which is extremely rare in modern war.
Pakistani soldiers escaped from the Indian Army’s M777 Excliber cannons and war looting ammunition leaving the post on LOC. Fearing the Indian Navy, Pakistani naval ships and submarines were reduced to Gwadar port instead of getting into the sea. On May 10, the last BrahMos strike took place on Bholari airbase afternoon, after which all mission objectives were fulfilled. Critics believe that action was stopped due to US pressure, but army sutras consider this mission to be complete.
Army analysts believe that a terrorist attack is possible again in the near future during the tenure of Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir. This time the signal is clear. The next turn will take the Indian Navy action.
