Modi govt gives Armed Forces freedom to..., now India will have much more powerful weapons than Pakistan's...
New Delhi: The success of one month of Operation Sindoor was celebrated on Saturday, June 7 evening. The Defense Ministry has given permission to the armed forces to buy long-range missiles, artillery shells, kamikaze drones and air-to-air missiles. These missiles will be better than the Chinese missiles which Pakistan has. According to experts, the forces have assessed the damage. This shows that the Indian Air Force (IAF) shot down four Pakistani Chinese fighter planes. Along with this, two large aircraft were also shot down during Operation Sindoor. Possibly among them was a C-130 J and a SAAB 2000 Airborne Early Warning System.
According to the Hindustan Times report, it has also been learned that two F-16 fighter planes were partially damaged in the IAF missile attack. The Indian Air Force attacked 11 airbases including Sargodha, Rafiq, Jacobabad and Noor Khan (Chaklala, Rawalpindi). The report said that India's Rafale fighter jets, S-400 missile systems and M777 guns performed well. The Russian air defense system shot down three enemy aircraft.
Reports also revealed that India destroyed a Chinese LY-80 fire radar. Also, two AN TPQ-43 US radars and a Chinese HQ-9 radar unit were destroyed. The attack was carried out on May 10 at Chaklala. Intelligence has revealed that Pakistan has four HQ-9 radars. Earlier it was believed that they had only two. HQ-9 is similar to Russia's S-300 air defense radar. The Pakistan Army used PL-15 missile. It is made in China and has a range of 180 kilometers.
Pakistan merged a 250-kilometer range HQ 9 air defense system with a 150-kilometer range system. This was done at Chaklala and Malir Cantonment near Karachi. They wanted to surprise the Indian Air Force. The action report revealed that the IAF fired 19 BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles on Pakistan's air base. Along with this, almost the same number of French SCALP subsonic cruise missiles were also fired.
Pakistan fired CM-400 AKG air-launched supersonic missiles. They used JF-17 fighter jets. But these missiles could not do any damage. Pakistan also used YIHA loitering ammunition made in Turkey. Indian electronic warfare systems jammed them. Some missiles missed their target. The rest were shot down by India's air defense system. Pakistan also fired FATAH-1 rockets. They too either missed the target or were intercepted by Indian air defence systems.
