What was the decisive factor in Operation Sindoor victory? Rajnath Singh explains

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh pointed out that logistics management by various agencies was a deciding factor in the success of Operation Sindoor.

 

Addressing students and faculty members virtually at the third convocation ceremony of Vadodara-based Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya, a university under the ministry of railways, on Sunday, the minister said, "Logistics management was a deciding factor in the success of Operation Sindoor. The way various agencies managed logistics right from mobilisation of our armed forces to delivering the required material at the right place at the right time has proved to be a deciding factor in the success of the operation."

Noting that logistics should not be seen only as a process of delivering goods, but must be considered a strategically important sector, the defence minister said it is logistics that makes a battlefield a battlefield. For the Indian Army, logistics means that weapons, fuel, rations and medicines reach remote areas without delay, and for the Indian Navy, it is important to ensure that spare parts and other equipment are available to the ships in time, Singh said.

 

"It is important for our Air Force to ensure that the jets continue their flights without any hindrance with the help of ground support and uninterrupted fuel supply. Just imagine, if we have advanced missile systems but the electronics needed to launch them don't arrive in time, then that technology is of no use," he added.

 

"Without logistics, it will become a confusion zone. There is no meaning if arms and ammunition don't reach the right place at the right time during a war. The stronger our logistics management is, the stronger our borders will be."

 

We are in a time where power is not measured only by weapons, but by timely resource management, the defence minister said.
