Op Sindoor: How Indian Missiles Evaded Pak's Air Defence System
Pakistan used 300-400 drones, including Turkish-made kamikaze drones, across 36 locations in India. Pakistan's air defense systems, including the HQ-9B and HQ-16 surface-to-air missiles, failed to detect and intercept India's low-altitude, terrain-hugging missiles. The government emphasised that the operation was a response to Pakistan's terrorism and highlighted Pakistan's risky strategy of using civilian airspace for military purposes, potentially endangering civilian lives.
