Operation Sindoor, initiated on May 7, 2022, marked a pivotal shift in India's national security strategy following the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives. This expansive multi-domain combat mission involved airstrikes on nine terrorist infrastructures across Pakistan, resulting in the elimination of at least 100 terrorists. The operation underscored India's resolve against cross-border terrorism, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasizing that India would not tolerate nuclear blackmail from Pakistan. In the year since, India's military has significantly enhanced its capabilities, focusing on the integration of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence for target acquisition. Major defense acquisitions have been approved, including five S-400 missile systems from Russia and 114 Rafale fighter jets from France, aimed at boosting the Indian Air Force's combat capabilities. Additionally, India's nuclear triad has been strengthened with the commissioning of the INS Aridaman, the third indigenously-built nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine. The successful test of the Agni-5 missile, which can reach targets up to 5,000 km away, further highlights India's strategic advancements.
