 "Watch: DGMOs explain how India's multi-layered air defence system countered Pakistan's attacks")
In a comprehensive briefing, India’s Director Generals of Military Operations (DGMOs) detailed how the country’s advanced, multi-layered air defence system successfully countered Pakistan’s aerial attacks after Operation Sindoor. This came as India-Pakistan ceasefire remained intact without a major incident on the third day of its implementation.
The IAF’s AK Bharti, the director general of air force operations, and Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai, the DGMO of the Indian Army, outlined the coordinated response that shielded Indian military and civilian targets from waves of drones, missiles, and fighter jets.
Air Marshal Bharti highlighted that the primary objective was to neutralise terror infrastructure, but Pakistan’s military escalated the conflict by supporting militants and launching direct attacks on Indian assets.
He praised the performance of India’s indigenous Akash missile system, which, alongside the Russian S-400, Israeli Barak-8, and SPYDER systems, formed a robust, layered shield capable of intercepting threats at various ranges and altitudes. These systems, integrated via the Akashteer command-and-control network, enabled real-time detection and rapid neutralisation of incoming threats.

During the attacks, Pakistan deployed multiple waves of drones and missiles, including Chinese-origin PL-15 air-to-air missiles, targeting Indian airfields and logistics hubs. All major threats were intercepted, with Indian forces showcasing recovered debris as evidence of their success. Vice Admiral AN Pramod added that continuous surveillance using multiple sensors and inputs ensured early detection and targeting of hostile objects, reinforcing the effectiveness of India’s layered defence.
