Akash to BrahMos: How indigenous firepower redefined the India–Pakistan equation following Operation Sindoor

Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh confirmed that Operation Sindoor achieved nearly all its military objectives, marking a strategic shift in India’s counter-terror policy. In a detailed briefing, Singh said India now holds escalation dominance—choosing when, where, and how to strike. The mission showcased indigenous defence capability, including BrahMos and Akash missiles. He also revealed Pakistan’s eventual request for ceasefire after suffering significant losses, and emphasised that future provocations will be met with swift, precise and pre-emptive force.
