Indian Air Force (IAF) chief Amar Preet Singh has revealed new details of Operation Sindoor, describing how Indian forces carried out strikes 300 kilometres deep inside Pakistan territory. He credited the success to the coordinated efforts of the Army, Navy and Air Force, and highlighted that the use of surface-to-air missiles turned the tide, forcing the adversary ‘to their knees’.
Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh was addressing a press conference ahead of 93rd Air Force Day. He added that Operation Sindoor ‘turned the tables’ using the high-tech air defence infrastructure along with precision long-range missile systems of the country.

Air Marshal Singh said the Indian armed forces went into Operation Sindoor with a strong sense of making the perpetrators of the Pahalgam terror attack pay for their actions. He stressed that India’s response would be remembered as a mission launched with a clear objective and executed swiftly, without being dragged on unnecessarily.
“We pushed them to a point where they were forced to ask for a ceasefire and termination of hostilities. As a nation, we then decided to end the operation because our objectives had been fully achieved,” he said, referring to the decision taken on May 10 to halt operations after four days of cross-border action.
India had launched precise airstrikes under Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) in retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The strikes destroyed nine camps and eliminated over 100 terrorists.
