Pakistan’s air defence was not able to work and neutralize Indian strikes, rendering the Chinese-origin air defence systems helpless.
An official statement stated that “Operation Sindoor” also produced concrete evidence of hostile technologies neutralized by Indian systems. These included the much-hyped PL-15 missiles of Chinese origin, Turkish origin YIHA Kamikaze drones and Pakistan’s long-range rockets, quad-copters and commercial drones. All of them were shot down by India’s multi-layered air defence grid.
