Army Chief Hails Operation Sindoor as Model of Seamless Tri-Service Coordination
Gen Dwivedi declares jointness the backbone of modern Indian warfare.
Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi asserted on Monday that the decisive strength of the Indian armed forces rests on unbreakable synergy among the Army, Navy, and Air Force, pointing to the meticulously executed Operation Sindoor as the most compelling recent demonstration of this integrated operational prowess in the face of grave national security challenges.
Delivering his address during the formal commissioning of INS Mahe — the lead vessel of the indigenously designed Mahe-class anti-submarine warfare shallow water craft — at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai, General Dwivedi underlined that in the contemporary battlespace of multi-domain operations, India’s ability to orchestrate seamless power projection from the ocean floor to the highest altitudes and even outer space will ultimately shape the nation’s security posture and global strategic influence.
He explicitly praised Operation Sindoor, the swift and precise cross-border military response launched against terrorist launch pads and infrastructure deep inside Pakistan-occupied territory following the brutal April 2025 Pahalgam terror attack, as a textbook illustration of tri-service coordination where joint planning, real-time intelligence sharing, and synchronized execution neutralised threats with minimum collateral damage and maximum strategic impact.

General Dwivedi further elaborated that the Indian Army is spearheading a comprehensive transformation roadmap in which jointness, integration, and theatre-level commands form the foundational pillars, driven by the recognition that future wars will be hybrid, technology-intensive, and fought across land, sea, air, cyber, and space domains simultaneously, necessitating unified national military power rather than isolated service-specific efforts.
The commissioning of INS Mahe, symbolising India’s accelerating march toward self-reliance in critical defence technology, provided the perfect backdrop for the Army Chief’s remarks, reinforcing the message that a battle-ready, synergised, and indigenously equipped tri-service ecosystem now stands as the ultimate guarantor of the country’s sovereignty against evolving threats.
