Dr G Satheesh Reddy, former chairperson of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), commended the use of indigenous military systems during Operation Sindoor, a targeted strike against terror infrastructures in Pakistan following the April 22 Pahalgam attack. In an interview with NDTV, he emphasized India's self-reliance, or "aatmanirbhar," in developing advanced technologies that caught adversaries off guard. Reddy highlighted the successful deployment of the Drone-Detect, Deter and Destroy (D4) system, likening it to Israel's Iron Dome, and noted the effectiveness of the Akash missile system in neutralizing threats during the conflict. He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership in promoting indigenous development, which has led to over 65% of the armed forces' capabilities being homegrown. Reddy also acknowledged the contributions of Indian start-ups in advancing drone technologies, marking a significant achievement for the nation.

Referencing a famous 1970s cricket saying about Australian bowlers Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson, Ghai highlighted the effectiveness of India's multi-layered counter-drone and air defense grid, stating that even if all layers were breached, one would still be hit. This operation, launched on May 7 in response to a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, targeted nine terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Published: May 12 2025, 3 pmeznews.inIn response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, India launched Operation Sindoor, which successfully concluded with a ceasefire on Saturday. Despite this, sporadic attacks from Pakistan persisted, prompting a robust Indian military response. The operation targeted nine terrorist camps within Pakistan, significantly crippling the capabilities of the Pakistani military, particularly under the leadership of General Asim Munir, who had incited the attack. India's strategy shifted to a more aggressive stance, incorporating measures such as suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and imposing trade restrictions, signaling its resolve against Pakistan's provocations. While some within India expressed dissatisfaction over the ceasefire, arguing for continued retaliation, the decision was seen as a strategic move to prioritize economic development and maintain international standing. The U.S. played a mediating role, viewing India as a key partner, while China continued to support Pakistan, highlighting the complex geopolitical dynamics at play.

Published: May 12 2025, 3 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: Vice Admiral A N Pramod, Director General of Naval Operations, confirmed on Monday that no enemy aircraft approached Indian territory during Pakistan's recent attempts to target Indian installations. The deterrent presence of the Indian Navy's aircraft carrier, equipped with MiG-29K fighters and early warning helicopters, effectively neutralized threats. This statement was made during a press briefing on 'Operation Sindoor,' launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists. The operation saw Pakistan make three attempts to strike military sites using drones and missiles, which were promptly thwarted. Pramod emphasized the Navy's capability to monitor and neutralize aerial threats, asserting that the Carrier Battle Group maintained a dominant presence, compelling Pakistani forces to remain close to their coast. He noted that the Navy was prepared to strike targets, including Karachi, showcasing India's robust maritime defense posture throughout the conflict.
Published: May 12 2025, 3 pmeznews.inNEW DELHI: The Indian Air Force (IAF) conducted strikes on military targets near Karachi, Pakistan, in a measured response to recent Pakistani aggression, including drone and missile attacks. Air Marshal AK Bharti confirmed that the IAF targeted a surface-to-air missile site at Malir Cantonment, approximately 35km from Karachi, as well as radar installations in Lahore and near Gujranwala. This operation was part of India's broader military response, dubbed Operation Sindoor, which also involved the Navy's deployment of battle groups to deter Pakistani forces. The operation resulted in significant casualties among terrorists and damage to terror infrastructure. Following these strikes, both nations engaged in retaliatory attacks, leading to civilian casualties and the downing of fighter jets on both sides. A ceasefire was reached after approximately 100 hours of conflict, although Pakistan reportedly violated the agreement shortly after its announcement, prompting India to warn of a stronger military response if necessary.

Air Marshal AK Bharti, speaking at a special media briefing, stated, "Our fight was against terrorism, that's why we only struck terror camps on May 7." He further accused the Pakistan military of aligning itself with terrorists, thereby transforming the situation into a conflict in which they bear the consequences of their actions. The operation underscores India's ongoing stance against terrorism and its commitment to targeting militant infrastructure in the region.
Published: May 12 2025, 1 pmeznews.inShashi Tharoor, Congress MP and former diplomat, criticized US President Donald Trump's claim of mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, asserting that the US role was not mediation but rather a constructive engagement. In a statement to NDTV, Tharoor described Trump's approach as "very unfortunate" and emphasized that India did not seek mediation, as both countries had been in direct communication through their foreign ministers. Trump had announced the ceasefire on his Truth Social platform, congratulating both nations for their decision, and expressed willingness to assist in resolving the Kashmir issue. However, India has consistently maintained that Kashmir is an integral part of its territory and opposes any third-party mediation. The ceasefire followed intense cross-border hostilities, including drone and missile attacks from Pakistan after India conducted Operation Sindoor in response to a terror attack.
Published: May 12 2025, 12 pmeznews.inThe U.S. has shifted its stance on the India-Pakistan conflict, with Vice-President JD Vance asserting that the U.S. has "no business" in the war, contrasting sharply with previous administrations that actively mediated. Following a recent terrorist attack, President Trump condemned the violence but later criticized India's military response, reflecting a more hands-off approach. The U.S. now appears divided between an "America first" policy and a desire for limited engagement. Meanwhile, Pakistan is bolstered by new alliances with Azerbaijan and Turkey, which supply military equipment, and China continues to support Pakistan's military capabilities. The International Monetary Fund's recent loan to Pakistan raises concerns about financing a nation engaged in conflict. As the geopolitical landscape evolves, India may need to reassess its foreign policy and alliances, recognizing that it must navigate a complex environment where traditional partnerships may no longer hold.
Published: May 12 2025, 12 pmeznews.inIndia's aviation regulator has announced the reopening of 32 airports in northern and northwestern regions, including Srinagar, Chandigarh, and Amritsar, following a ceasefire agreement with Pakistan amid heightened tensions. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) confirmed that these airports are now available for civil aircraft operations, advising travellers to check flight statuses with their airlines. The initial closure, affecting 24 airports, was extended due to airspace restrictions related to India's Operation Sindoor, which involved airstrikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. This escalation followed the April 22 massacre of 26 civilians in Pahalgam, attributed to Pakistan-sponsored terrorists. Despite Pakistan's denial of involvement, Indian forces claimed to have killed around 100 terrorists during the operation. The situation prompted airspace closures on both sides, with Pakistan also restricting its airspace to civil airlines in response.
