India's Military Admits Weakness in Operation Against Pakistan

Pakistan had real-time knowledge of Indian Army's movements during Operation Sindoor, highlighting the military's preparedness and vigilance, as stated by the military's media wing on Friday.

Indian Deputy Army Chief Lt General Rahul Singh acknowledged India's military defeat in the operation, complicating India's attempt to conceal its humiliation.

Lt Gen Singh made baseless accusations against Pakistan, alleging foreign support from China and Turkey led to Pakistan's success. However, ISPR rejected these claims, emphasizing that Pakistan's victory was solely due to its own strength.

ISPR stated, 'Pakistan's security forces were fully aware of Indian fighter jet movements in real-time, right from the moment they switched on their engines on the air bases. We have been preparing for decades to counter India, and we don't need external support to track their actions.'

ISPR refuted Lt Gen Singh's claims about the downing of Indian Rafale jets, emphasizing that Pakistan's victory was achieved through professionalism and skill, not external support.

ISPR also dismissed the accusation that Pakistan used Chinese equipment during the operation, highlighting India's use of weapons from various countries.

The ISPR stressed that Pakistan's armed forces are the most professional in the region, trained to counter India's aggression, unlike India's focus on theatrics and war mongering.

ISPR highlighted Pakistan's strong relationships with China and Turkey, contrasting India's failed foreign policies that have alienated potential allies.

Operation Sindoor's failure confirmed India's military weaknesses, according to ISPR, exposing the gap between India's aspirations and capabilities.

ISPR reiterated Pakistan's commitment to peace with India but warned of a swift and brutal response to any misadventure by India.

ISPR concluded by reaffirming Pakistan's military strength and readiness without foreign assistance.

India plans to launch a 20 billion Indian rupees ($234 million) drone programme for three years, covering drone manufacture, components, software, counter drone systems, and services, as reported by Reuters.

Details of the programme, with higher planned expenditure than previous schemes, have not been previously reported.

India's civil aviation and defence ministries did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
