Published: May 14 2025, 11 pmeznews.inIndia reportedly gained a significant advantage over Pakistan during a recent four-day military confrontation, as detailed by the New York Times, which cited satellite images showing damage to Pakistani military facilities. The conflict marked the most extensive fighting between the two nuclear-armed nations in fifty years, with both sides employing drones and missiles to target each other's defenses. While both nations claimed to have inflicted severe damage, satellite imagery suggested that India's strikes were more effective, particularly at key locations such as the Bholari and Nur Khan air bases. India's precision attacks were part of 'Operation Sindoor,' launched in response to a terrorist attack in April. Following intense exchanges, including India's counter-attacks on several Pakistani installations, an understanding was reached on May 10 to cease hostilities. The imagery indicates that damage from Pakistani strikes remains less substantiated, raising questions about their effectiveness.

Published: May 14 2025, 7 pmeznews.inThe sudden conclusion of Operation Sindoor has raised significant questions and insights regarding India's military strategy following recent escalations with Pakistan. The successful execution of joint operational planning between the Indian Army and Air Force during intense engagements from May 7 to the ceasefire was notable, showcasing the effectiveness of the Indian Air Force's Integrated Air Command and Control System. The operations were primarily aerial, conducted in a contested airspace, which contrasted with previous Western military engagements. Moreover, India's indigenous capabilities, including the Surface to Air Missile for Assured Retaliation (SAMAR), proved crucial, highlighting the importance of domestic defense production. However, the ceasefire prompts reflections on whether it signifies a resolution to the underlying issues, particularly regarding the terrorists responsible for the initial attacks. The effectiveness of the Chief of Defence Staff system during this operation also warrants careful evaluation as India navigates its future defense strategies.
