Why did PM stop Op Sindoor: Congress after Air Force chief details huge Pak losses
"Where did the pressure on the PM come from and why did he capitulate so very soon?" he asked.The remarks by the air chief were made at the 16th Air Chief Marshal L M Katre Memorial Lecture here."We have an indication of at least one AWC in that AWC hangar, and a few F-16s, which are under maintenance there. We have at least five fighters confirmed killed and one large aircraft, which could be either an aircraft or an AWC, which was taken at a distance of about 300 kilometres. This is actually the largest ever recorded surface-to-air kill that we can talk about," Amar Preet Singh said.The operation also resulted in a large number of drones and some of the missiles falling into Indian territory."So the airfield was attacked and the main building where the planning goes on, which was also used as the civil terminal building at times. As far as the Sukkur airbase is concerned, we attacked the UAB hangar and radar site," he said.Under Operation Sindoor in May, the IAF carried out precision strikes on multiple targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir linked to terror groups.The operation was aimed at destroying terror infrastructure and neutralising key operatives as a consequence of the April 22 Pahalgam carnage.- EndsTune InMust Watch
