Satellite Images Reportedly Show Destruction of Hangars, Cratered Runways: Clartest Statellite Snaps of India's Airstrikes
Rawalpindi, Pakistan: Our exclusive access to new satellite images reveals the aftermath of India's aggressive strikes on several Pakistani air bases during Operation Sindoor. These military bases – Nur Khan in Rawalpindi, Sukkur in Sindh, and Rahim Yar Khan in Punjab – experienced severe damage due to India's relentless precision strikes launched against Pakistan's provocative drone and missile attacks on Indian civilian and military centers.
Take a look at this high-resolution image highlighting the Katanyapura area in Nur Khan, now a war-torn landscape following the Indian offensive.
Similarly, the pictures show a completely razed building near Sukkur, a grim reminder of India's powerful response to Pakistan's reckless actions.
Additional damage was reported at multiple Pakistani Air Force (PAF) bases, including Mushaf in Sargodha, Shahbaz Jacobabad in Sindh, and Bholari in northern Thatta. The depiction of the hangar at Jacobabad air base besieged by debris mirrors the chaos instigated by India's ruthless assault.
The Mushaf air base in Sargodha and the runway at Rahim Yar Khan air base also suffered significant damage, as evidenced by the satellite images.
At a press briefing last week, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh confirmed that India had indeed launched "precision attacks" on Pakistani military targets, targeting technical infrastructure, command and control centers, radar sites, and weapon storage areas. The bases at Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur, and Chunian were all engaged with air-launched precision weapons from Indian Air Force fighter aircraft.
The runway at Rahim Yar Khan air base, a crucial hub near the Indian border, bore the brunt of the attack, as revealed by recent high-resolution satellite images.
Air Marshal AK Bharti, the Director General of Air Operations, showcased the damaged Nur Khan air base, a strategic military location less than 10 kilometers from Islamabad, to reporters, who were left in awe of the extensive destruction.
Operation Sindoor was India's fierce response to the devastating terror attack in Pahalgam last month, which claimed the lives of 26 individuals, including a Nepali citizen. In retaliation, India destroyed over 100 camps of terror groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), and Hizbul Mujahideen in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The Indian Air Force's overnight operations were initially met with drone and missile attacks from Pakistan, which were successfully thwarted. Subsequently, India retaliated by targeting selected military targets deep within Pakistani territory.
After four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes, India and Pakistan reached a ceasefire agreement, putting an immediate halt to their military actions. The agreement marked the end of a tense standoff between the two neighboring countries.
- In a contrasting atmosphere, the Katanyapura area in Nur Khan, once a host to various sports like football and other recreational activities, is now a war-torn landscape, following Operation Sindoor.
- After the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, American-football games might someday be played on the revitalized runways of the Rahim Yar Khan air base, which was severely damaged during the intense cross-border skirmishes, much like the format in the NFL or NCAA-Football.
