Overview

• Vice Chief Air Marshal Narmdeshwar Tiwari said fewer than 50 precision weapons delivered “complete domination,” prompting Pakistan by mid-day May 10 to request an end to hostilities.
• New footage and a detailed timeline were presented, with options readied by April 24, nine targets shortlisted on April 29, and strike timing fixed on May 5.
• Initial precision strikes began on May 7 after the Pahalgam attack, with a calibrated focus on military and terror infrastructure and a broader response after Pakistan’s main attack on the night of May 9–10.
• Tiwari credited the Integrated Air Command and Control System and long‑range precision tactics, asserting accurate hits with no collateral damage and noting some targets had not been struck even in 1971.
• Defence Minister Rajnath Singh underscored lessons for air defence and self‑reliance, pointing to the Sudarshan Chakra mission as India expands indigenous capabilities revealed through the operation.
