00:00Now a short while ago, the Indian Armed Forces briefed the country and the world about Operation
00:06Sindhu. How it was executed and what were the real targets. Listen in into a great detail
00:12we are putting it forth.
00:14A very good evening to all of you ladies and gentlemen. You are all by now familiar
00:24with the brutality and the dastardly manner in which 26 innocent lives were prematurely
00:32terminated at Pahlgaam on the 22nd of April. When you combine those horrific scenes and
00:41the pain of the families that the nation witnessed with numerous other recent terrorist strikes
00:49on our armed forces and defenseless civilians, we knew that the time had arrived to make
00:58yet another compelling statement of our resolve as a nation. Operation Sindhu was conceptualized
01:08with a clear military aim to punish the perpetrators and planners of terror and to destroy their
01:17terror infrastructure. What I do not state here, of course, is the often stated determination
01:24of India and its intolerance to terror. It set into motion a very diligent and microscopic scarring
01:34of the terror landscape across the borders and the identification of terror camps and training
01:41sites. The locations that emerged were numerous but as we deliberated more we realized that some
01:52of these terror hubs were now bereft of any presence and had preemptively been vacated fearing retribution
02:02from us. There was also a term of reference and our own binding self-imposed restriction to
02:10target only terrorists and thus prevent collateral damage. There were nine camps that you are now
02:23all familiar with which were confirmed by our various intelligence agencies to be inhabited. Some of these were in
02:33P.O.J.K. while there were others that were located in the Punjab province in Pakistan. Nefarious places such as
02:43Muridke, the hub center of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, has over the years bred infamous characters such as Ajmal Kasab and the likes of David
02:56Hedley. What followed was a careful scrutiny of each of these sinister locations, their layout,
03:06configuration, even the type of construction in each structure and the terrain obtained around these.
03:15This was with an obvious intent to deduce and identify the exact vector that was required for their
03:24neutralization as also the eyes in the sky that we would send up to ensure that we brought back
03:34evidence that we had indeed targeted what we set out to. The precise images of these engagements on that
03:43fateful and historical night have already been showcased during the first press statement on the 7th of May
03:52day that was helmed by our foreign secretary. I have no doubt in my mind that we achieved total surprise
04:00and those strikes across those nine terror hubs left more than 100 terrorists killed including high-value targets
04:11such as Yusuf Azhar, Abdul Malik Rauf and Mudassir Ahmed that were involved in the hijack of IC 814 and the Pulwama blast.
04:24The line of control was also violated soon after by Pakistan and the erratic and rattled response of our enemy
04:33was apparent from the number of civilians inhabited villages and religious sites such as Gurudwara's
04:41that were unfortunately hit by them leading to a sad loss of lives.
04:48The Indian Air Force played a major part in these strikes by engaging some of these camps
04:54and the Indian Navy provided wherewithal in terms of precision munitions.
05:00The Indian Air Force obviously had their assets up in the sky and I will here request Air Marshal Bharti,
05:09the Director General of Air Operations, to detail for you the methodology that the Men in Blue
05:16had opted to successfully manifest this mission.
05:23Thank you, Rajiv. A very good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
05:30It indeed is a difficult time that we have to come here like this and brief you.
05:36We could have done without this, but we had no choice.
05:40As the DGMO has detailed, the event was precipitated by the Das Radli Act at Pahlgaon.
05:55The sequence of events have already been detailed. We carefully selected the targets
06:03and out of the nine selected targets, the target systems that were given to the Indian Air Force
06:10were the notorious training camps at Bhavalpur and Muridke, these being further from the international boundary.
06:26Through critical target system analysis, we analyzed what was to be done to annihilate these targets
06:36and plan to engage these targets with precision air-to-surface guided munitions so as to avoid collateral damage.
06:52The modalities of planning process, I will not go through at this instant.
07:00However, what I would like to show you is the results that we achieved through our targeted airstrikes.
07:08Could I have the second slide, please?
07:16Yeah, change, please.
07:22Okay.
07:24This is what the terror infra at Muridke looks like.
07:29If you see, north is as indicated, and to the right is east where the international boundary lies.
07:43Could we have the next slide, please?
07:50Orientating.
07:52Just go back to one slide.
07:54Please have a look at this red building.
08:03The series of buildings out here.
08:09And this empty ground.
08:15Next.
08:15If you relate, the empty ground is here, and you see this is the first weapon that is impacting,
08:26this is the impact, point number one, on Muridke training camp with our precision guided weapons,
08:32on early morning 7th.
08:35Next, please.
08:37Keep your eyes glued for the second weapon coming in,
08:40and the second impact on the selected target point.
08:47Next slide, please.
08:54Third weapon.
08:57Third impact.
08:59Continue.
09:04And fourth weapon, fourth impact.
09:06So, these, through these targeted and precision targeting,
09:12we addressed the target at Muridke, which was the tering infrastructure.
09:19Can you hear me?
09:20All right.
09:21Okay, I'll come closer to the mic.
09:23Now we go to the next target, which is the Bhavalpur training camp.
09:28Next slide, please.
09:31Okay, just wait.
09:31So, the effect, if you see, the impact point, if I can point out, this is the impact point.
09:43The ammunition has gone through the roof, and it has created a blast inside,
09:50the photographs of which you would have, all of you would have seen.
09:53And, the red building, after that, there was this double-storey building.
10:01It has been completely decimated by precision targeting.
10:06Next, please.
10:10The target system, which was in the north, a series of buildings.
10:15I'll show you how it looked.
10:17Next.
10:17Completely destroyed by our precision targeting.
10:27Next.
10:29Now, coming to Bhavalpur, this is the target complex that we are dealing with,
10:33a fairly large target complex.
10:35So, we have to carefully choose the points that we needed to address,
10:41which were high value, and which would meet our stated objectives of eliminating the terrorists.
10:49I would like to draw your attention to this red canopy,
10:52and in relation to that, I would cover the targets.
10:55One target system is a series of buildings here, other one here, and other one out here.
11:01Next slide, please.
11:02This is how it looked before,
11:07and this is how the building looked after the impact of the weapon.
11:13And, orientation in relation to this red canopy, you can see here.
11:16Next, please.
11:20Before.
11:21Next.
11:23And, after.
11:27The roofs have completely collapsed.
11:29Next.
11:32This is the target system.
11:34Next.
11:37Precision targeting.
11:39And, we have achieved our objectives here.
11:42Next.
11:43All right.
11:43So, that was what we did on the seventh.
11:46Our objective was to address these two enemy,
11:50these two terrorist camps,
11:53and that we did with precision.
11:55And, thereafter, we maintained a robust air defense posture,
12:00because, remember, our objective was to target the terrorists and terrorist infrastructure,
12:08not any other infrastructure, not the Pakistani military,
12:13not the Pakistani, any other infrastructure.
12:15So, that is what we have maintained on the 7th of May.
12:21However, what we saw,
12:24in the evening of 7th of May,
12:27we were saturated with a raid of Pakistani unmanned aerial vehicles and small drones.
12:37And, these came in waves in our civilian areas, over our military installations,
12:45and all of them were successfully intercepted.
12:50Few of them did manage to land.
12:55However, there was not much damage that they did.
12:58And, we have our robust counter-U.S. hard-kill and soft-kill systems, which is the job.
13:04However, the difference here was that we had targeted there the terrorists.
13:12The adversary now has targeted our civilians and the military infrastructure.
13:17So, it had to be responded to.
13:19So, in a quick and calibrated response,
13:23that very night, we struck their radar installations at Lahore and close to Gujarawalla,
13:30the LYT installation,
13:32to indicate to him that we are ready,
13:36yet we do not want to escalate our fight was with the terrorists
13:40and not with the Pakistani military establishment.
13:49Thank you, A. Marshall Bharti.
13:52So, ladies and gentlemen,
13:53he has outlined operations not only on the night of 6th and 7th of May,
13:58when Operation Sindhuur commenced,
14:00but also on the subsequent night,
14:03being well aware and familiar with the congenital and impulsive nature of our adversary.
14:10And, even though we did attempt to reach out and communicate
14:14our compulsions to strike at the heart of terror,
14:18to my counterpart in the immediate wake of Operation Sindhuur,
14:24the request was brusquely turned out,
14:27turned down, I am sorry,
14:29with an intimation that a severe response was inevitable and in the offing.
14:36We were, of course, prepared.
14:39Operations on the 7th and the 8th,
14:41Air Marshal Bharti is spoken about.
14:43On the night of 8th and 9th of May,
14:47they flew drones and aircrafts into our airspace all across the borders
14:52and made largely unsuccessful attempts to target numerous military infrastructure.
15:12Violations on the line of control by Pakistan also commenced yet again
15:17and precipitated into fierce, arty engagements.
15:22The air operations on the night of 8th and 9th of May,
15:27I will yet again request the DG Air Operations to cover.
15:31So, I have just covered what happened on the night of 7th and 8th.
15:47What we found,
15:48that on the night of 8th and 9th,
15:52starting as early as 22, 30 hours,
15:55our cities had a mass raid of drones,
16:03unmanned aerial vehicles, U-caps,
16:05starting right from Srinagar,
16:08going down right up to Nalya.
16:11It was a mass raid in waves
16:13and it was relentless.
16:16However,
16:17we were prepared
16:18and our air defence preparedness
16:21ensured that there is no damage on ground
16:26or to any of the intended targets
16:28that the enemy might have planned for.
16:32The difference between 7th night and 8th night
16:35was that on 7th night,
16:38he sent in his
16:39YIHA class of UAVs,
16:43however,
16:45which these UAVs can go some distance,
16:48they are armed.
16:50However,
16:51on the 8th,
16:52less numbers of armed U-caps were there
16:54or UAVs were there
16:55and more numbers of Cod copters
16:58maybe for surveillance
16:59or just for harassment of civilians.
17:04This continued
17:05till midnight.
17:08Our air defence preparedness ensured
17:10that there was no damage
17:12on the ground,
17:13either to the military installations
17:14or to the civilians.
17:16However,
17:17the enemy had yet again shown
17:19that he wanted to up the ante
17:22and he wanted a fight
17:24and we were up to the task.
17:28In a measured
17:29and calibrated response,
17:32we once again targeted
17:33his military installations
17:36which included
17:37his SAM sites,
17:40at Malircant.
17:44This also included
17:46his surveillance radar sites
17:48at Lahore
17:54and close to Gujarawala.
17:57These were suitably addressed
17:59and thereafter
18:02his drone attacks
18:06continued
18:06even till morning
18:08which we countered
18:10and during the daytime
18:12there was some respite.
18:14Here,
18:14I would like to
18:15bring out
18:16another aspect.
18:17What we found
18:18was that
18:19while the drone attacks
18:20were being launched
18:21from somewhere close to Lahore,
18:23enemy had allowed
18:25his civilian aircraft
18:27to also continue
18:28to fly out of Lahore.
18:30Not only
18:31his own aircraft
18:31but international
18:32passenger aircraft
18:34which is
18:36quite insensitive
18:37and we had to
18:38exercise
18:39extreme caution
18:40even at the cost
18:42of
18:42some tactical
18:44disadvantage
18:45to ensure
18:45that there is
18:46no damage
18:47to any of the
18:48civilian aircraft
18:49and this was also
18:50brought out
18:51in our press briefing
18:52during
18:53the day.
18:56So,
18:56I will now
18:56hand over
18:57to my colleague
18:58to cover
18:58the events
19:01of night
19:01onwards.
19:04On land,
19:06we also undertook
19:07certain measures
19:08such as
19:09deployment
19:09of air defence
19:10and electronic
19:12warfare assets
19:13to establish
19:14an integrated
19:15grid
19:16with the
19:17Indian Air Force
19:18and I have
19:19seen and heard
19:20some of you
19:21wax eloquent
19:22about the
19:23benefits of
19:23such an
19:24architecture
19:24when it
19:25comes to
19:26negating
19:26and combating
19:28air intrusions.
19:29We also
19:30carried out
19:31deployment
19:31to include
19:33movement
19:34of our
19:35forces
19:35in the
19:36land,
19:36sea
19:37and air
19:37domains.
19:39The night
19:39of the
19:409th and
19:41the 10th
19:41of May
19:42saw similar
19:43intrusions
19:44by drones
19:45and aircrafts
19:46and this
19:47time there
19:48was a
19:48concerted
19:49effort
19:49to target
19:51airfields
19:52and some
19:53very, very
19:53important
19:54logistic
19:54installations
19:55albeit yet
19:57again
19:58unsuccessful
19:59and denied
20:00gallantly
20:00and efficiently
20:02I must say
20:03by the
20:04integrated
20:04Indian Air
20:05Force
20:06and Indian
20:07Army Air
20:07Defense.
20:09We further
20:09strengthened our
20:10deployment
20:11and also
20:12initiated some
20:13pressure points
20:14to send a very
20:15clear and
20:17unambiguous
20:17message to the
20:18other side
20:19to desist
20:20from any
20:21misadventures
20:22on land.
20:23Some of the
20:24airfields and
20:25dumps saw
20:26repeated attacks
20:27in waves
20:28from the
20:28air.
20:29All were
20:31thwarted.
20:32The Pakistan
20:32Army has
20:34reported to
20:36have lost
20:36approximately
20:3735 to
20:3940 personal
20:40in artillery
20:41and small
20:42arms firing
20:43on the line
20:44of control
20:44between the
20:457th and
20:46the 10th
20:47of May.
20:48What the
20:49other side
20:50had probably
20:51also not
20:52reckoned with
20:52was the
20:53speedy and
20:55precise turnaround
20:55and hitback
20:57by the
20:58Indian Air
20:58Force.
20:59And I will
20:59yet again
21:00ask Air
21:01Marshal
21:01Bharti to
21:03speak about
21:04these significant
21:05and game
21:06changing
21:06strikes.
21:07I will

21:54These
21:55were almost
21:56simultaneous
21:56and they
21:57came in
21:57waves.
22:00All our
22:00AD guns
22:01and other
22:02systems
22:03were waiting
22:04for them.
22:06All these
