New Delhi: Indian Armed Forces successfully thwarted Pakistan’s attempts to target major military installations in different locations in India, the Ministry of Defence informed on Thursday. During the Ministry of External Affairs press briefing, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi informed that Islamabad attempted a large-scale drone and missile attack in military installations located in Awantipora, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Ludhiana, Bathinda, Adampur, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai and Bhuj, which was thwarted successfully. She also said that an Air Defence system at Lahore was neutralised during the military response.
Operation Sindoor
On Wednesday night, Pakistan tried to launch missile and drone attacks on several Indian military bases located in Punjab, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Gujarat and Rajasthan. The Indian air defence system foiled all the attacks. As per the Defence Ministry, Pak tried to launch missile and drone attacks on military bases in Avantipora, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Ludhiana, Bathinda, Adampur, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai and Bhuj, which were destroyed in the air by the Indian Army.
India’s integrated air defense system, including S-400 and Akash missiles, successfully repelled a Pakistani attack. In retaliation, the Indian Army targeted and disabled multiple Pakistani air defense systems, including those in Lahore. This action follows a pattern of recent unprovoked ceasefire violations by Pakistan along the Line of Control, involving artillery and mortar fire in several areas.
Questions Raised On China’s Defence System
Pakistan’s military is dependent on Chinese-supplied weaponry, including the HQ-9 air defence system and J-17 fighter jets. While Pakistan’s defence minister discussed using J-17s against India, China denied knowledge of such plans. Reports indicate the HQ-9 system failed to detect an Indian missile strike, allegedly suffering damage during subsequent Indian retaliatory action. This incident has renewed concerns about the effectiveness of Chinese-made fighter aircraft and air defence systems.
A report indicates that China supplies over 80 percent of Pakistan’s weaponry. Recent Indian military actions have cast doubt on both the effectiveness of Chinese defence technology and the preparedness of the Pakistani military. This incident has prompted China to urge both nations to show restraint, highlighting a perceived discrepancy between China’s claims of advanced defence capabilities and the reality demonstrated by the events. The situation represents a significant setback for both China and Pakistan.
