How India Used HAMMER And SCALP To Hit Terror Camps In Operation Sindoor

How India Used HAMMER And SCALP To Hit Terror Camps In Operation Sindoor In the early hours of Wednesday morning, India launched a military operation targeting terrorist infrastructure across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK). The operation, codenamed Operation Sindoor, involved a tri-services deployment of air, naval, and land-based assets. It is the most expansive cross-border precision strike carried out by India since the Balakot operation in 2019. The mission was a response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 civilians, including a serving Indian Navy officer and a Nepali national, were killed. The attackers were linked to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), a terror group that has been alleged to get logistical and financial support from the Pakistani government. Weapons Used In Operation Sindoor India utilised a suite of high-precision, long-range strike weapons in the operation. Among these were the SCALP cruise missile, the HAMMER precision bomb, and loitering munitions.
