Air Force unveils fresh footage of Operation Sindoor, revealing airstrikes against terrorist hideouts in Pakistan. Here's a look.
============================================================
The Indian Air Force (IAF) has released a new video titled "IAF responds with precision, speed, resolve" on August 10, 2025, detailing the events of Operation Sindoor. This video comes amidst ongoing boasting and denials from both India and Pakistan about the operation's impact.
The video starts with newspaper clippings showing the news about the April 22 Pahalgam attack, which resulted in 26 civilian casualties. It then transitions to Indian fighter jets making air strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). The visuals in the video depict "decimated" terror camps, emphasizing the effectiveness of Operation Sindoor.
Air Chief Marshal AP Singh confirmed that at least five Pakistani fighter jets and one airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft were taken down during the operation. He also claimed that one large aircraft was downed, making it the largest ever recorded surface-to-air kill.
The strikes targeted critical terror infrastructure and airbases such as Nur Khan and Sargodha, crippling Pakistan’s military capabilities and destroying a sophisticated China-Pak-America-made tracker system. According to India’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and IAF Chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh, the operation was a demonstration of India’s advanced military technology and precision, marking the boldest campaign since 1971 with significant regional and global implications.
The IAF shares the video to prove the effectiveness of Operation Sindoor and to clarify doubts about the operation. The video also includes clippings from past wars and conflicts involving Pakistan, such as the 1971 war and the Kargil war of 1999, underscoring India's commitment to defending its territory.
Strategic communications included sending a message via military channels to Pakistan's DGMO clarifying India's intent was strictly retaliatory against terrorists, with no interest in military escalation, although Pakistan did not accept this limited scope. Despite Pakistan’s claims of downing up to six Indian jets, Indian Defense officials, including the Chief of Defence Staff, refuted these, acknowledging only minor, unspecified Indian losses but emphasizing overall mission success.
The video ends by highlighting the response of the Indian Air Force during the operation. Operation Sindoor was launched by India in May as a response to the Pahalgam terror attack, demonstrating India's commitment to combating terrorism and upholding international law. The new video on Operation Sindoor is trending now, providing a comprehensive overview of this significant operation.
