DGMO Ghai hails India’s multi-layered guard after Pak’s stopped working strikes–

Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai on Monday commended India’s durable multi-layered air support system, claiming that Pakistan stood no possibility of breaching it to target Indian landing fields or logistical facilities.

Addressing a press instruction, Lt Gen Ghai highlighted the assimilation of Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems, sophisticated Air Defence Weapons, and digital war abilities in India’s collection, which with each other played a crucial function in preventing the Pakistani assaults.

“In our inventory, we have a unique mixture of Counter-Unmanned Aerial System, Air Defence Weapons and mediums of electronic warfare, and that is why you saw when Pakistan air force attacked our airfield and logistic installation on May 9 and 10, they failed to breach this strong air defence grid,” claimedLt Gen Ghai.

“You can see how many layers, counters, unmanned aerial systems, behind that shoulder-fired weapons and our vintage air defence weapons and in the last our modern air defence weapons system. There was no chance that Pakistan could’ve broken our multi-layered defence system and target our airfield and logistic installation,” he included.

Giving an instance of the terrific Australian bowling duo of Dennis Lille and Jeff Thomson, Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai claimed our air support system operated in comparable layers to damage their assault.

“Targetting our airfields and logistics is way too tough… I saw that Virat Kohli has just retired from test cricket; he is one of my favourites. In the 1970s, during the Ashes between Australia and England, two Australian bowlers destroyed the batting lineup of England, and then Australia gave a proverb – “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Thommo don’t get ya, Lillee must” If you see the layers, you’ll recognize what I am attempting to state. Even if you went across all the layers, among the layers of this grid system will certainly strike you,” he claimed.

He further praised Border Security forces for their contribution in repelling the Pakistan attack, “I want to praise BSF here also. Every last soldier gave their contribution to our mission. Their counter-unarmed system were also part of our multi-tiered grid system. You must have heard this proverb, ‘Jab Hausle Buland ho tab manzile bhi kadam chumti hai’.”

Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 to strike multiple terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied-Kashmir after a deadly attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam last month in which 26 tourists were killed.In a joint press conference held at the National Media Centre on Sunday, the senior-most operational commanders from all three wings of the Indian Armed Forces revealed major outcomes of India’s Operation Sindoor.

In addition to eliminating over 100 terrorists, the strikes targeted 11 Air bases inside Pakistan and inflicted significant damage on their military capabilities. The air, land and sea operations were carried out with calibrated restraint, with an emphasis on minimising civilian casualties.

During the briefing, the Indian Armed forces issued a clear warning to Pakistan stating, “This time, if Pakistan dare take any action, Pakistan knows what we are going to do”.
