CDS, Army Chief Recast Operation Sindoor as Template for India’s Precision Doctrine

Senior commanders frame the May action as integrated, politically directed and still consequential beyond the ceasefire.

CDS Anil Chauhan said that after the army's clash with Chinese forces in Galwan and the Balakot airstrikes, the government allowed all three wings of the military to have emergency procurement.

Overview

  • CDS Anil Chauhan said drones and loitering munitions alone could not meet political objectives, so air power was used to hit terrorist hubs at Bahawalpur and Muridke.
  • He said the government gave clear guidance to destroy camps and retaliate only if attacked, granting full operational freedom on planning and target selection, with the NSA playing a key role.
  • Officials described the campaign as multi-domain and calibrated, noting Pakistan’s drone and missile reprisals and India’s counterstrikes on the Rahim Yar Khan and Nur Khan air bases.
  • Army Chief Upendra Dwivedi said the conflict did not end on May 10 and continued for a longer period of decisions, adding that infiltration attempts along the LoC persist and effects are still being assessed.
  • At the launch of Lt Gen K.J.S. Dhillon’s book on the operation, Dwivedi called it a benchmark study and highlighted joint-force “rhythmic” execution and momentum toward theatreisation.
