 "New details on Op Sindoor: Several Indian women pilots took part; 42 Pak soldiers, over 170 terrorists killed")
New details have emerged about the scale and precision of Operation Sindoor , India’s recent cross-border military offensive with top defence sources saying that several Indian women pilots played active roles in the operation. The multi-day assault, which took place earlier this month, resulted in the deaths of 42 Pakistani military personnel and over 170 terrorists, the sources said.
The heaviest blow to terror infrastructure was dealt on May 7, when Indian strikes caused maximum damage in the Bahawalpur region, known to house training camps of the terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed. “More than 170 terrorists were neutralised in that strike alone,” said a senior official.
India reportedly lost seven personnel during the entire course of the operation, which defence sources described as a “spectacular precision strike campaign”. The offensive continued with follow-up strikes on May 9 and 10, during which Indian forces used BrahMos missiles to target and severely damage multiple Pakistani air bases.
“All our planned targets were hit with remarkable accuracy,” the source added, calling the operation a display of India’s enhanced military capabilities, shaped in part by lessons learned from the 2017 Doklam standoff with China.
In a notable inclusion, several women pilots were directly involved in the high-risk sorties, reflecting the increasing role of women in combat roles in the Indian armed forces.
While Operation Sindoor has been paused, India remains on high alert. Pakistan was badly humiliated. We expect them to attempt something in response. Our forces have been told to stay prepared,” the official warned.
