The operation was launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Singh confirmed that surface-to-air missile systems were used to neutralize the airborne threats, while parked F-16 jets were also destroyed at Pakistan’s Jacobabad Air Base. The AEW&C aircraft was targeted at Bholari Air Base. The strikes mark a significant escalation in India-Pakistan tensions and showcase India’s advanced air defence capabilities.
