NEW DELHI: As India thwarted numerous Pakistan's missile and drone attacks in recent days, all credit goes to the air defence system that ensured the security of sovereignty and territory. Meanwhile, a picture is going viral that features a team of the Integrated Air Command and Control System , which was a part of Operation Sindoor .
Government on Monday shared the picture in which India Air Force officers can be seen who played a crucial role during Operation Sindoor.
"Picture of the Integrated Air Command and Control System released—crucial to the success of Operation Sindoor," the caption reads.
Later on Monday evening, PM Modi acknowledged the powerful air defence system that intercepted and destroyed Pakistan's missiles and drones. He said that Pakistan, in despair, launched several attacks to target schools, colleges, gurudwaras and residential areas, following Operation Sindoor.
In his address to the nation, PM Modi said, "Many terrorists were roaming freely in Pakistan. India finished them off in one blow. Due to this action of India, Pakistan fell into deep despair. It was frustrated, and in this frustration, it committed another mistake. Instead of supporting India's action against terrorism, it started attacking India itself. Pakistan targeted our schools, colleges, Gurudwara, temples, and residential areas. Pakistan targeted our sacred places. But in this, Pakistan itself was exposed. The world saw how Pakistan's drones and missiles scattered like stones in front of India. India's powerful air defence system destroyed them in the sky itself".
Earlier on Monday, Air Marshal Bharti highlighted the effectiveness of India's layered and intricate air defence (AD) system.
"This brings me to the point of how the Indian Forces brought minimum damage to both civilian and military infrastructures in spite of Pakistan's unrelenting forces... The majority populace has a lot to say about the layered and intricate air defence system put in place by the Indian Armed Forces , which includes assets of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force... This robust AD system comprises a large variety of multilayer AD sensors and weapon systems... Numerous waves of drones and UAVS deployed by Pakistan were also thwarted by the indigenously developed soft and hard kill counter-UAV systems and the well-trained Indian personnel,"he noted.
Director General Military Operations (DGMO) Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai also lauded the multi-layered air defence system and said there was no chance Pakistan could've broken it.
"In our inventory, we have a unique mixture of Counter-Unmanned Aerial System, Air Defence Weapons and mediums of electronic warfare, and that is why you saw when Pakistan air force attacked our airfield and logistic installation on May 9 and 10, they failed to breach this strong air defence grid." Ghai said.
"You can see how many layers, counters, unmanned aerial systems, behind that shoulder-fired weapons and our vintage air defence weapons and in the last our modern air defence weapons system. There was no chance that Pakistan could've broken our multi-layered defence system and target our airfield and logistic installation," he added.
