Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said ‘Operation Sindoor’ was an “extraordinary” display of coordination between the three armies and Pakistan was still recovering from the “dealing blow” by the Indian Army.
Singh said the operation reaffirmed India’s resolve to develop a coordinated, adaptive and pre-emptive strategy to deal with emerging national security challenges.
“Operation Sindoor demonstrated extraordinary cohesion and integration among the three services and reaffirmed the government’s resolve to formulate a coordinated, adaptive and proactive defense strategy to meet the challenges posed by the changing global order and evolving modes of warfare,” Singh said at a book launch event.
The Defense Minister stressed that the traditional approach to defense is no longer sufficient in today’s times as wars are not fought only on the borders, but have now taken ‘hybrid’ and asymmetric forms. He said the government has undertaken several “bold and decisive” reforms aimed at building a future-ready army to ensure national security as well as the country’s strategic autonomy.
“One of these historic steps was the creation of the post of Chief of Defense Staff, which proved to be a milestone in strengthening coordination and synergy among the three services,” he said.
Singh said, “The entire world saw the result of unity and integration during Operation Sindoor. Pakistan is still recovering from the devastating attack by our armed forces.
