Our actual response would have been multiple' times stronger, he said in an exclusive conversation with India Today India's precision strikes on critical Pakistani air bases, including Sargodha, Nur Khan, and Chunian, he stressed that every single target identified in the operation was successfully hit.
'Important point to consider and for people to know that every single target that was attempted has been achieved. So see the success rate against an adversary who was fully prepared and expecting. And this is just an indication of what would have happened if they had not stepped back,' he said. According to Bhadauria, the targets hit by India nearly 'completed the chain of critical assets' of the Pakistan Army. He noted that only Karachi remained, and the Navy was fully prepared to take that step.'It was spread out, the number of targets reduced, but a clear message across, and only the Karachi area was left where the Navy was very strongly poised. And it is just a measure of restraint shown. Otherwise, if it had kind of continued for the next night, I wouldn't have been surprised at all if Karachi was hit badly,' he the outcome of Operation Sindoor, he stressed, 'we should not have any element of doubt that as far as Operation Sindoor is concerned. It's a huge success. It is not only a success, it is an immense success'.Tune InMust Watch
