New Delhi, 9 May
India used S-400 Triumph missile systems, Barak-8 missiles, Akash
surface-to-air missiles, and DRDO's anti-drone technologies to thwart Pakistani
offensive following the Operation Sindoor, highly-placed sources said on
Friday.
After
India launched Operation Sindoor on 7 May, Pakistan tried to escalate tensions
by launching missiles at Indian military installations but every single missile
was neutralised, they said.
In
retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack, Indian armed forces carried out
missile strikes on terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir
including Bahawalpur, a stronghold of the Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror outfit.
The
defence ministry had said that on the night of 7-8 May, Pakistan attempted to
engage a number of military targets in northern and western India including
Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar,
Ludhiana, Adampur, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, Nal, Phalodi, Uttarlai, and Bhuj,
using drones and missiles.
But
India retaliated with speed and precision to Pakistan's attempts to target
Indian military installations, the sources said.
India's
rapid and coordinated response to the Pakistani offensive showcased strength of
Indian air defence ecosystem, they added.
