India's air power superior vis-a vis Pakistan

OPERATION Sindoor, which has merely been paused and can be resumed if Pakistan doesn’t mend its ways, has remarkably showcased the might of the Indian Air Force (IAF). The precision strikes on terror sites and military airbases have been the high point of this operation. No less impressive has been the robustness of India’s multi-layered air defence system, which has foiled Pakistan’s attempts to attack Indian military installations and civilian areas. In his address to the nation on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the nation’s air defence shield for bringing down Pakistani drones and missiles like ‘straws’. The very next day, he travelled to the Adampur airbase in Punjab and interacted with air force personnel, patting their backs for a job well done. This wholehearted gesture was an apt salute to the bravery of our air warriors in particular and the armed forces in general.
