Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated that Operation Sindoor, launched on May 7, 2025, signifies India's new military ethos and collective resolve against terrorism. The operation was a swift and high-impact response to a Pakistan-backed terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people. Over four days, India executed strikes using fighter jets, missiles, and drones, compelling Pakistan to halt military actions by May 10. Singh urged military leaders to learn from this operation and adapt to future conflicts shaped by hybrid threats and advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and cyber capabilities. He highlighted the importance of joint operations and the integration of new technologies across the armed forces. The conference also featured discussions on cognitive warfare and the need for a robust communication architecture for future military operations. Singh's remarks reflect a commitment to enhancing India's defense capabilities, with significant procurements already underway, including S-400 air defense systems and Rafale fighter jets.
