During a press conference, Air Marshal Bharti outlined the objectives of Operation Sindoor, stating that it was designed to be lethal and precise, with a focus on minimizing civilian harm. This operation was a coordinated effort by the Indian Army, Air Force, and Navy to respond decisively to the Pahalgam terror attack. Bharti highlighted that planning involved daily meetings to ensure the selection of targets and timing were meticulously considered, achieving execution with 'clockwork precision.' Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai noted that the operation integrated land, air, and maritime capabilities, striking seven targets by the Indian Army and two by the Air Force, signaling that no sanctuary for terrorists is safe. The operation underscored India's growing indigenous defense capabilities, with over 65% of military equipment now manufactured domestically. Bharti also addressed the misinterpretation of India's desire for peace as weakness, stating that decisive action was necessary when provoked. The press conference coincided with the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, celebrated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders, who praised the operation as a powerful symbol of India's military resolve.
