On 10 May, Pakistan’s top military officer in charge of operations—the DGMO—made desperate calls to India, pleading for a ceasefire. Just three days earlier, Pakistan had angrily refused India’s offer to talk, promising severe retaliation. What changed? The answer lies in Op Sindoor.
India’s surgical air campaign that shattered Pakistan’s air power and sent a clear, unmistakable message: India can strike anywhere, anytime, with pinpoint accuracy.
Op Sindoor is not just another military operation—it is a game changer. India launched multiple types of aircraft, missiles, and drones deep into Pakistani territory. Using advanced reconnaissance UAVs and satellites, the Indian Air Force (IAF) tracked every strike with real-time precision.
On 7 May, the Indian DGMO reached out to his Pakistani counterpart to avoid escalation. Pakistan rudely refused, threatening heavy retaliation. By 10 May, however, the Pakistani DGMO was making frantic calls to stop the bloodshed.
Why the sudden change? Between 8 and 10 May, India executed strikes far more damaging than previously acknowledged. Pakistani Air Force (PAF) lost several aircraft, including hits on key bases such as Nur Khan in Rawalpindi and Bholari. These weren’t just minor skirmishes—these were precise blows to Pakistan’s military heart.
Retired PAF Air Marshal Masood Akhtar confirmed that India destroyed a Saab Erieye airborne early warning system at Bholari, a serious loss for Pakistan’s air defense. Pakistan’s official losses are likely understated, as intelligence sources suggest.
India combined the use of supersonic BrahMos cruise missiles, SCALP long-range air-to-ground missiles, and indigenous drones like Harpy and Harop loitering munitions. These drones infiltrated deep into Pakistan, taking out critical Chinese-supplied HQ-9B and HQ-16 air defense systems.
This was a “shock and awe” campaign. The Indian military didn’t just respond—they sent a brutal message that Pakistan’s military assets are vulnerable no matter where they hide. Pakistan’s famous Chinese PL-15 missiles? Not a single confirmed hit.

Why India Played It Cool Publicly
Unlike Pakistan’s exaggerated claims and forged satellite images, India stayed silent on the full scale of damage until technical analysis is complete. The IAF publically acknowledged downing Pakistani jets but has held back detailed info to avoid repeating past controversies like after Balakot.
India’s strategy: Let the action speak louder than words. And the results? Pakistan pleading for peace within days.
Op Sindoor proves India’s military can defend the nation decisively while sending a strong deterrent to adversaries. It shows India is no longer content with defensive postures or hollow threats.
For citizens, this means increased security and pride in our armed forces. For the world, it signals India’s rise as a serious military power that can operate with surgical precision, backed by the latest technology and clear strategic intent.
The operation isn’t over yet, but the takeaway is clear: India has redefined the rules of engagement on its terms. Pakistan’s desperation to halt the strikes underlines the success of Op Sindoor.
As Air Marshal A.K. Bharti said, “Did we achieve our military objective? A thumping yes.”
