TOP STORY/ "Destroy ank Enemy In The Sky": India Confirms Downing Pakistani Mirage Jet

The Indian Army on Monday released a video featuring glimpses from the execution of ‘Operation Sindoor’, under which the Indian Armed Forces successfully carried out military strikes targeting military establishments and terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and also foiled Pakistan's attempt to target Indian military establishments and civilian areas. The operation was conducted in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, which claimed the lives of 26 people.

The Additional Directorate General of Public Information (ADG PI) of the Indian Army posted the video on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle with the caption: "Destroy Enemy In The Sky."

The footage showcased how India tracked, monitored, and neutralized enemy drones, delivering a strong response to Pakistan’s provocations.

A message displayed in the video read: “The enemy in the sky planned a reckless gamble.” India, however, remained “patient”, detecting each move, and systematically tracking and destroying Pakistani drones and fighter jets.

Highlighting the prowess of the India's military, the video concluded with the message: “The guardians of our skies — Unyielding, Ready, Prepared.”

ress Briefing of DGMOs of All Three Services
Today, the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of all three services held a press briefing to provide further details on the success of Operation Sindoor.

During the briefing, Air Marshal AK Bharti stated, "Our battle-proven systems stood the test of time and took them head-on. A key highlight has been the stellar performance of the indigenous Akash air defence system. Establishing and operationalising such a potent air defence environment has only been possible due to the budgetary and policy support from the Government of India over the last decade."

“Numerous waves of drones and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) deployed by Pakistan were also neutralised by our indigenously developed soft and hard-kill counter-UAS systems and the professionalism of our Indian Air Defence personnel," he further added.
