DGMO Briefing Operation Sindoor

In a bold and strategic military move, Operation Sindoor was launched in response to provocations from across the western border.

The DGMO briefing Operation Sindoor was conducted recently in New Delhi, where the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force came together for a joint press conference. The event highlighted India’s preparedness and resilience in the face of aggression, with a strong focus on the role of air defense systems.

This blog presents a comprehensive and SSC exam-relevant breakdown of the briefing and its key takeaways.

Indian Army Press Conference: Operation Sindoor Unveiled

In a rare Indian Army press conference on Operation Sindoor, senior officials shared operational details and strategic responses taken over the past week.

The briefing was led by DG Air Operations Air Marshal AK Bharti and Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, who provided critical insights into the evolving security scenario.

The key theme of the session: India’s air defense is strong, modern, and impenetrable.

Air Marshal AK Bharti Sindoor Operation Update

Air Marshal AK Bharti's Sindoor operation update revealed the types of aerial threats India faced. He disclosed that Pakistan deployed advanced Chinese-origin PL-15 air-to-air missiles, which failed to breach Indian defenses.

More importantly, the air defence grid successfully intercepted a variety of enemy aerial threats, including

  • Long-range rockets

  • Loitering munitions

  • Turkish-origin drones like YIHA and Songar

This success was credited to systems such as the Akash missile system, which showcased exceptional capability under real-time combat stress.

PL-15 Missile Failure in Indian Airspace

The PL-15 missile failure in Indian airspace was an important turning point in the operation.

Despite being one of the more advanced Chinese missiles, its inability to hit its intended target demonstrated not only its limitations but also the reliability of India’s layered defense systems.

This incident also sends a strong signal internationally: India’s indigenous technology is combat-ready and reliable.

Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai Statement: A Bold Warning

The Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai statement added a touch of swagger and national pride.

Quoting cricket metaphors, he likened the defense mechanism to legendary cricketers—"If Thommo doesn't get you, Lillee must." This analogy symbolized how India’s layered air defense system ensures no enemy threat goes unchallenged.

His clear message: Targeting Indian infrastructure is nearly impossible.

Turkish Drones Intercepted by India

The use of Turkish drones intercepted by India was another critical highlight. Turkish-origin YIHA and Songar drones, often used in asymmetric warfare, were swiftly neutralized by Indian forces using anti-UAS and radar systems.

Their successful interception showcases India’s preparedness for unconventional and drone-based warfare.

Layered Air Defence System India: The Real Star

The real backbone of Operation Sindoor was India’s layered air defense system. This multi-tiered structure includes

  • Surveillance radars

  • Anti-aircraft systems like Akash

  • Counter-drone technologies

  • Early warning systems

Together, they created an impenetrable wall that denied entry to every incoming threat.

The Akash missile system's performance was particularly noteworthy. With indigenous tech and years of development, it has matured into a dependable pillar of national security.

India Pakistan Military Standoff 2025: Context

The India-Pakistan military standoff of 2025 escalated when intelligence reports confirmed unusual troop activity and aerial reconnaissance across the border.

Operation Sindoor was swiftly activated, with all three defense forces executing a joint operation.

This Indian defense forces joint operation demonstrated coordination, efficiency, and strategic foresight, setting a new standard for tri-services synergy.

Air Defence Response to Pakistani Drones

The air defense response to Pakistani drones was precise and immediate. Enemy drones attempting to breach Indian airspace were quickly neutralized.

These real-time interceptions reflect years of preparation and infrastructure upgrades, largely fueled by policy focus and defense investment.

Final Thoughts

For SSC aspirants, understanding the DGMO briefing on Operation Sindoor is essential from both a current affairs and defense studies perspective.

It reflects India’s growing strategic autonomy, technological advancements, and preparedness in modern warfare.
