India’s robust air defense ecosystem, meticulously built under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, neutralized a barrage of Pakistani missiles, drones, and munitions fired across the Line of Control (LoC) on Thursday night.

Not a single projectile reached Indian soil, showcasing the nation’s ability to secure its skies and strike with precision, as demonstrated by the recent destruction of nine terrorist camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan during ‘Operation Sindoor.’

The Modi government’s decade-long focus on modernizing India’s security apparatus proved pivotal. Key acquisitions, including Russian S-400 Triumf systems, Israeli Barak-8 missiles, indigenous Akash missile batteries, and DRDO’s anti-drone technologies, formed an impenetrable aerial shield.

Rafale jets, armed with SCALP and HAMMER missiles, and locally built Harop drones further bolstered India’s offensive and defensive capabilities. The 2024 deployment of Man Portable Counter Drone Systems and 2021 induction of loitering munitions enabled precise, simultaneous strikes that caught Pakistan off-guard.

‘Operation Sindoor’ not only obliterated terror hubs but also destroyed a Chinese-supplied HQ-9 air defense unit in Lahore, crippling Pakistan’s radar infrastructure.

Since 2014, investments like the Rs 35,000 crore S-400 deal and $2.5 billion Barak-8 contract have transformed India’s defense landscape, with three S-400 squadrons now guarding borders.

This seamless integration of cutting-edge technology and strategic vision underscores India’s dominance in modern warfare, sending a global message: India not only defends its skies but commands them.
