The Indian Air Force and Indian Army carried out unprecedented air and ground strikes at terror infrastructure and military targets across the length of Pakistan as part of #OperationSindoor which began on May 7. India’s indigenous defence hardware was the trump card during the three-phase strikes. The trump card in the sharp, intense conflict were India’s indigenous solutions.

From the Brahmos supersonic cruise missile, a unique Indian solution to the IAF’s homegrown Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS). Pakistan’s US and Chinese made hardware failed to stop the Indian military’s strikes. The operation highlighted the need to fight India’s wars with Indian solutions. In this episode of our podcast series, Sandeep Unnithan discusses the evolution of India’s indigeneous defence ecosystem with Col Anurag Awasthi.
