Operation Sindoor: Army Air Defence Destroys Over 600 Pakistan Drones

During 'Operation Sindoor' launched on May 7, the Indian Army's air defence units destroyed over 600 Pakistani drones, while others were repelled. More than 1,000 AD guns and 750 missile systems were swiftly mobilised, integrating with radar networks for full operational readiness. The operation thwarted Pakistan’s attempt to overwhelm India’s air defence grid and gather intelligence. Legacy systems like L-70 and Schilka proved effective against low-flying drones, while Akash missiles tackled larger threats. The indigenous Akashteer control system, integrated with IAF’s IACCS, provided real-time air situational awareness. The operation marked a significant leap in India's air defence capabilities.
