Because of the Russian S-400 air defence system that Pakistani jets could not reach within 200 kilometres of the Indian border during Operation Sindoor, air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra, in an interview with ANI, said that it was.
“Pakistanis were desperate to find where these S-400s were. They used every trick in the book. Although he did not name the nations, the Deputy Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Rahul R.
“Every time they (Pakistan) got airborne, they were shot by an S-400. The S-400 was the biggest threat as far as they were concerned.
Mishra said that Pakistan was “desperate” to find out where the S-400s were located and had activated spies and sleeper cells in order to reach them. They were also getting satellite help from other nations,” Mishra said. Singh had earlier said that China was providing its ‘all-weather friend’ Pakistan with real-time inputs about India’s important vectors. They also activated spies and sleeper cells within India to find out where the S-400s were located,” the air marshal said.
“The direction was there should be no collateral. We don’t want common citizens to be affected. Only terrorists and their handlers are to be punished.
Mishra said that although the Indian Army was given a free hand from the government, they were told to avoid civilian casualties. We are not a war-mongering state,” Mishra said.
