- Defence Minister Rajnath Singh released a documentary on Operation Sindoor's first anniversary
- Operation Sindoor targeted terror infrastructure deep inside Pakistan with multi-domain combat
- The mission used cyber and space assets with ISRO for intelligence before kinetic actions
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today released a nearly 30-minute-long documentary on the first anniversary of India's Operation Sindoor, which last year struck terror infrastructure and military targets deep inside Pakistan.
The documentary is concise, yet highly detailed with tactical information from the operation that became the Indian military's most expansive multi-domain combat mission in half-a-century to punish Pakistan for its relentless support to cross-border terrorism.
The documentary informs viewers with many interesting aspects of Operation Sindoor. One of them is the use of cyber assets to monitor Pakistan's critical systems. Another is the repositioning of space-based assets to make revisits of multiple areas of interest with the help of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Simultaneously, India's intelligence agencies worked jointly and shared information seamlessly.
All this happened even before India started taking kinetic action on Pakistani targets, according to the documentary, suggesting the sheer scale and complexity involved in the planning phase to make Operation Sindoor one of India's deadliest response to terror and its enablers.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seen in the documentary talking about giving a free hand to the military to do whatever they do best in wiping out terror.
Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan said, "The operation demonstrated the ability of the Indian armed forces to conduct multi-domain operations, a capability created through jointness, integration and capability-building in the new domains of warfare. We dominated the enemy in all domains and dimensions of the conflict."
Operation Sindoor also demonstrated superior situation awareness at every level of escalation, General Chauhan said.
The documentary was released at a joint press conference by the heads of military operations of the Indian Air Force, Navy, and Army in Jaipur on the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor.
"Operation Sindoor was not the end. It was just the beginning," Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, who played a key role in executing the operation in his capacity as the Army's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO), said.
Lt General said Operation Sindoor saw India coherently go beyond its erstwhile methods to target terror infrastructure across the Line of Control and international boundary with Pakistan.
The operation signalled that no terror sanctuary in Pakistan is safe, he said.
Air Marshal AK Bharti, the then Director General of Air Operations, said Operation Sindoor reaffirmed the primacy of air power.
Terrorists groomed and backed by Pakistan killed 26 tourists in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in April 2025. Days later, India struck Pakistani terror and military assets.
