Operation Sindoor exposed limits of Pakistan's nuclear deterrence: Experts

A discussion on 'Operation Sindoor' explored India's doctrine of cumulative deterrence following the Pahalgam terror attack. A key takeaway was the assertion that for any future provocations, 'the next time it will be much harsher than what has happened'. The dialogue highlighted that the operation was an unprecedented instance of conventional military action between two nuclear-armed states, demonstrating that there is space for conflict under the nuclear umbrella. Experts noted this paradox, suggesting nuclear weapons may encourage lower-level crises. The conversation also covered the challenges of hybrid warfare, which includes cyber attacks and information warfare, and the effectiveness of India's response in a complex information environment. The operation involved strikes on 11 Pakistani Air Force bases, 6 radar stations, and 9 terror camps.
