Op Sindoor brought enemy to knees, most decisive since 1971: Air Force chief

Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh on Thursday praised Operation Sindoor as the year’s most significant military engagement, highlighting India’s long-range air defence capabilities likely powered by the S-400 system that achieved a kill over 300 km inside enemy territory. Calling it the most decisive operation since 1971, he credited the Army, Navy and Air Force for jointly executing precision strikes that forced the adversary “to their knees in one night,” while also praising the media’s role in countering misinformation and maintaining public morale.
