India-Pakistan tension along the western border is at its peak. On the night of May 7 and 8, Pakistan tried to intrude extensively into Indian airspace. The Pakistani army sent 300 to 400 armed drones to 36 locations, several of which were successfully shot down by Indian troops. Army spokesperson Colonel Sophia Qureshi said that most of these drones were of the 'Asisgard Songar' model made in Turkey. She also said that the main purpose of these drone intrusions was to test India's air defense system and gather intelligence.
Not only drones, Pakistan also fired small arms and heavy artillery in the Uri sector of Jammu and Kashmir on Friday evening. It is also reported that the Indian army has retaliated. The situation on the border is becoming increasingly worrying.Defense sources said that on Thursday, Pakistan tried to launch attacks using cheap rockets in the Hamas style at several places in Jammu, just like Hamas attacked Israel. Defense circles believe that such attacks are a sign of a planned and aggressive attitude.
India launched Operation Sindoor in response. In this operation, the Indian army destroyed 9 terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. This operation was carried out in response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgaon on April 22.
In the meantime, the Indian army conducted a large-scale anti-drone operation along the Line of Control and the international border. In that operation, more than 50 drones were shot down in a single day. At the same time, India also foiled attempts by Pakistan to launch large-scale missiles and drone attacks. Sources have even demanded that an air defense unit in Lahore, Pakistan, be deactivated.
In this situation, experts believe that a war situation has been created on the border. However, the army has made it clear that any attack on the country's sovereignty will not be tolerated. No matter how new tactics the enemy adopts, India is ready to respond.
