One year after Operation Sindoor, retired Air Marshal Narmdeshwar Tiwari, who served as Vice Chief of the Indian Air Force, provided a detailed account of the operation's execution in a discussion with NDTV. The operation targeted significant terror infrastructure in Pakistan, including the headquarters of Lashkar-e-Taiba in Muridke and the Jaish-e-Mohammed base in Bahawalpur, both located deep within Pakistani territory. Tiwari noted that the strikes were meticulously planned to minimize civilian casualties while maximizing damage to military assets. For instance, a maintenance hangar for F-16 fighter jets at Jacobabad was reportedly destroyed, with estimates suggesting that four to five aircraft were lost due to the strike. The operation also included multiple strikes at Sargodha to disable runways used by Pakistani aircraft. Tiwari highlighted the importance of accurate intelligence and teamwork, stating that the strikes achieved precision within five meters in several cases. He also mentioned that the decision to proceed with the operation came with a short preparation window of 24 to 36 hours, demonstrating the urgency and readiness of the Indian Air Force. As military tactics evolve, Tiwari emphasized the need to learn from global conflicts, ensuring that future operations are adaptable and effective.
