India Hits Hard – Heavy Damage To Pakistan Air Force During Operation Sindoor – New Details Reveal…
Details have emerged for the first time about the extent of damage inflicted by the Indian Air Force during Operation Sindoor, revealing significant losses for Pakistan's military aviation infrastructure. The operation reportedly forced Pakistan to push for a ceasefire, after suffering unexpected blows. The Indian Air Force successfully shot down six Pakistani fighter jets during Operation Sindoor. However, there was no official confirmation regarding whether the aircraft were of American or Chinese origin. Additionally, two high-value aircraft—believed to be AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) planes equipped with radar systems—were destroyed. A Pakistani combat drone and a C-130 transport aircraft were also neutralised. In today's DNA, Rahul Sinha, Managing Editor of Zee News, analysed the damages that were inflicted on Pakistan's Air Force during Operation Sindoor: Watch Full DNA Episode Here: #DNAWithRahulSinha | PAK के नेता आतंकवादी हाफिज के हमदर्द ..हाफिज को चच्चा क्यों मानते हैं PAK नेता?#DNA #Pakistan #HafizSaeed @RahulSinhaTV — Zee News (@ZeeNews) June 3, 2025 These fighter jets or drones were neutralised by Indian missile strikes or air defence systems while they were stationed at various Pakistani airbases. One of the standout moments of Operation Sindoor was India's S-400 air defence system shooting down an AWACS-type aircraft flying approximately 300 kilometres inside Pakistani airspace—an unprecedented feat. The aircraft could have been used for electronic warfare. Another AWACS aircraft was destroyed in a separate missile strike on Pakistan's Bholari Airbase. Rafale and Sukhoi fighter jets from the Indian Air Force also targeted enemy positions, reportedly destroying Chinese-made combat drones. According to sources, the Indian Air Force is still reviewing battlefield data, and further revelations about the scale of Pakistani losses are expected. Meanwhile, despite consistent denials and contradictory statements, Pakistan has admitted internally that the damage was far greater than publicly acknowledged. The Pakistani military has reportedly compiled a dossier confirming that the Indian Air Force struck at least eight more targets than initially disclosed. India had earlier stated it targeted 11 Pakistani airbases, including Nur Khan, Rafiqui, Murid, Sialkot, Pasrur, Sargodha, Sukkur, Chunian, Skardu, Bholari, and Jacobabad, as well as nine terror camps. Strikes were also reported in Lahore and Rawalpindi. However, Pakistan's internal assessment lists additional locations—Peshawar, Jhang, Hyderabad, Gujrat, Bahawalnagar, Gujranwala, Attock, and Chhor—as having been hit, none of which were officially acknowledged by Indian sources.

India's Big Move In Defence, Set To Unveil BrahMos 2.0 Missile
In a major leap for India's defense capabilities, work is now underway on BrahMos 2.0, a next-generation version of the powerful BrahMos missile, which is already among the most advanced in India's arsenal. Capable of being launched from land, sea, and air, its destructive precision has reportedly left adversaries like Pakistan concerned, especially after Operation Sindoor. In today's DNA, Rahul Sinha, Managing Editor of Zee News, analysed BrahMos 2.0, the next-gen version of India's BrahMos missile: Watch Full DNA Episode Here: #DNAWithRahulSinha | ब्रह्मोस 2.O का 'शक्तिशाली विश्लेषण', भारत के 'ब्रह्मास्त्र' का घातक अवतार आएगा! ब्रह्मोस की ताकत डबल..मुनीर का 'बीपी' डबल!#DNA #BrahmosMissile #Brahmos @RahulSinhaTV — Zee News (@ZeeNews) May 31, 2025 Extended Range: Efforts are ongoing to extend the missile's strike range beyond the current 800 km. The Indian Navy already possesses variants with this capability, while the Air Force's air-launched version currently has a 500 km range.

More Aircraft Compatibility: The BrahMos is currently launched from the Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter jet, which has undergone major modifications to carry the 2.5-ton missile. Only one missile can be carried at a time. Efforts are now focused on making the missile compatible with additional aircraft. The BrahMos is currently launched from the Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter jet, which has undergone major modifications to carry the 2.5-ton missile. Only one missile can be carried at a time. Efforts are now focused on making the missile compatible with additional aircraft. BrahMos-NG: A new version called BrahMos-NG (Next Generation) is in development. Weighing around 1,300 kg, it is expected to allow the Sukhoi to carry up to four missiles and India's Tejas fighter to carry two. One of the most significant advancements is BrahMos 2.0, a hypersonic missile with a projected speed of Mach 6 — approximately 7,400 km/h. At this velocity, the missile will cover over 2 km every second, doubling the current BrahMos speed and drastically reducing enemy response time. For context, the distance from Delhi to Pakistan's Nur Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi — about 640 km — could be covered in just over five minutes, leaving adversaries with virtually no time to react. Submarine-Launched BrahMos India is also testing a submarine-launched version of BrahMos, enabling underwater launches without exposing the launch platform. Only six countries globally possess such technology. Once operational, Indian submarines would be able to strike targets deep within enemy territory without nearing their coastline. Initially, only 7% of the BrahMos missiles were manufactured in India. However, that number has now risen to 75%, intending to soon reach 84%, thanks to increased domestic production. Final testing on some components is underway, after which BrahMos could be declared a fully indigenous system. The S-400 Edge Alongside BrahMos, another key asset strengthening India's defense is the S-400 air defense system. India had signed a deal with Russia for five squadrons, three of which are already operational along Indian borders. The fourth squadron is expected by February 2026, and the fifth squadron by August 2026. During Operation Sindoor, the S-400 system played a crucial role in Indian air defense. Its delivery was delayed due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Meanwhile, reports from Russia claim that an S-400 missile system shot down a US-supplied F-16 fighter jet in Ukraine. The missile team involved was awarded a cash prize of approximately Rs. 1.5 crore.

India Flips The Game In Defence, Set To Export Advanced Weapons Systems To Israel
In a significant development, India is set to export advanced weapon systems to Israel, a country long regarded as a global defense technology leader and one of India's top arms suppliers. This marks a new chapter in India's emergence as a defense exporter under the 'Make in India' initiative. According to sources, an Indian defense firm has secured a major order to supply rocket launcher systems to Israel. While full details of the deal have not yet been disclosed, the launcher is believed to have a range of up to 300 kilometers. This capability would place it among the longest-range rocket launch systems in the world. The estimated value of the deal is around ₹1,400 crore. In today's DNA, Rahul Sinha, Managing Editor of Zee News, analysed India's export of weapons to Israel: Watch Full DNA Episode Here: #DNAWithRahulSinha | 'आर्म्स सप्लायर' इजरायल..भारत से लेगा हथियार, अब भारत हथियार बेचेगा..इजरायल खरीदेगा! Make In India की कामयाबी.. इजरायल से भारतीय कंपनी को ऑर्डर मिला, एडवांस्ड रॉकेट लॉन्चर खरीदेगा इजरायल, रॉकेट सिस्टम की रेंज 300 किमी होगी, तकरीबन 1400 करोड़ रु. है डील की… — Zee News (@ZeeNews) May 26, 2025 India's indigenous defense manufacturing has accelerated rapidly. Systems developed under the Make in India program are not only being exported but also customized for the Indian armed forces. A particular focus has been placed on the development of drones. The Indian Army is set to receive air-launched drones capable of being deployed from helicopters and carrying up to 50 kg of explosives. Additionally, the Indian Air Force is working on Air-Launched Swarm Drones — a system in which multiple drones are launched simultaneously, making them difficult to intercept. Some Indian firms are also developing suicide drones capable of reaching altitudes of 8,000 feet and attacking as soon as they detect enemy targets. India's defense exports have seen exponential growth over the past decade. In 2013–14, India earned Rs. 686 crore from arms exports. By 2023–24, this figure had surged to Rs. 23,622 crore — a 34-fold increase. Domestic defense production has also grown significantly, from Rs. 46,429 crore in 2014–15 to Rs. 1.27 lakh crore in 2023–24, marking a 174 percent rise. Many of the weapons used during Operation Sindoor were developed under the Make in India initiative. Their battlefield performance has earned international attention, including from Russia. India and Russia are currently discussing the co-development of an advanced version of the BrahMos missile. Russia has offered full technological support for the project, which will be entirely built in India. The DRDO is already testing a new version of the missile with a range of up to 800 kilometers. If an agreement is finalized, the range could potentially exceed 1,000 kilometers. While India advances in defense through the Make in India program, the global economic spotlight is now on artificial intelligence. A new IMF report suggests that AI will significantly boost the economies of the United States and China. According to the report, the US economy could grow by 5.6 percent over the next decade due to AI, while China's economy may expand by 3.5 percent. AI has become a focal point in U.S.-China competition, particularly since Donald Trump's presidency. There are growing concerns in the U.S. about China's AI dominance, especially with platforms like DeepSeek AI, as American tech leaders push to reduce reliance on Chinese AI advancements.

Analysis: COVID-19 Resurgence And Emergence Of New Sub-Variants In India
The word "Corona" has resurfaced as a cause for concern in India. With a gradual rise in COVID-19 cases, health authorities have begun taking precautionary steps. On Saturday, the Union Health Secretary held a key meeting to assess the evolving situation. Currently, there are 312 active COVID-19 cases across India, with 12 states and union territories reporting infections. Kerala remains the most affected with 95 cases, followed by Tamil Nadu and Delhi, which has reported 23 cases. Together, Kerala and Tamil Nadu account for more than half of the active cases. No cases have been reported so far in states like Bihar, Jharkhand, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh. In today's DNA, Rahul Sinha, Managing Editor of Zee News, analyzed the resurgence of COVID-19 in India and the emergence of new sub-variants. Watch Today's Full Episode The new surge is attributed to Omicron sub-variants JN.1, LF.7, and NB1.8. Medical experts are urging the public to stay vigilant, as these variants continue to spread. While the current numbers are low, several states have issued advisories to prevent a major outbreak. Delhi has instructed hospitals to prepare beds, oxygen, medicines, and vaccines. Haryana Health Minister Aarti Rao advised residents to wear masks and avoid crowded places. Karnataka has appealed to people to maintain social distancing and use masks, with 16 cases already reported. Experts warn against repeating the mistakes of 2021 when Omicron cases were initially taken lightly, leading to a massive 173 per cent surge in just four months. Internationally, Thailand reported over 70,000 cases recently, with a 25% increase in just four days. The WHO has classified JN.1 as a 'variant of interest,' signaling the need for close monitoring. Authorities are urging the public to follow safety protocols and recall COVID-19 prevention tools to avoid a repeat of past waves.

Jyoti Malhotra Spying Case: Decoding Pakistans Operation Ayyaar Against India
At the time when India was targeting terrorist hideouts in Pakistan under Operation Sindoor, Pakistan was running a secret operation against India that can be called 'Operation Ayyaar'. In today's DNA, Rahul Sinha, Managing Editor, of Zee News, analysed Pakistan's secret Operation Ayyaar against India. 'Ayyaar' means a person who is skilled at changing their appearance, a person who is skilled at deception. From the 9th to the 12th century, warriors who worked as spies from Iran to Iraq were called Ayyaar. Ayyaar, or you could say spies, are mainly of two types: one is patriotic and are those who live in other countries and spy for their own country and the second type of spies are those who live in their own country and spy for the enemy. In the last 5 days, 11 Ayyaar have been arrested on charges of espionage from three states of the country: Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Haryana. Among them are 9 men and 2 women. Many revelations are being made in the Pakistan Ayyaar module that is being exposed but the most shocking revelation has been about Pakistan's hybrid espionage nexus because this is the first time that an influencer has been accused of espionage. Watch Full DNA Episode Here: पाकिस्तान के 'अय्यार'..हिंदुस्तान के 'गद्दार'! भारत में यूट्यूब वाले कितने 'PAK जासूस'? देखिए #DNA LIVE Rahul Sinha के साथ#UnfollowGaddar #ZeeLive #ZeeNews #DNAWithRahulSinha #IndiaPakistanNews @RahulSinhaTV — Zee News (@ZeeNews) May 19, 2025 Jyoti Malhotra thought she was a cunning Ayyaar whose trickery would never be caught. Jyoti, who was plotting against the country, left clues at every step, which became the reason for her arrest. If you look at the history of this Spy Commission of Pakistan, you too will feel that the name of the Pakistan High Commission should be changed to Pakistan Spy Commission. Pakistan is not capable of taking on India with the strength of weapons and Pakistan itself knows this. That is why it prepared an army of spies through Operation Ayyaar but this Ayyaar army of Pakistan has also failed.
