‘Reality check’: Lessons learnt from Op Sindoor; ‘capability gaps’ identified

Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh stated that Operation Sindoor, a punitive strike on terror bases in Pakistan, served as a crucial assessment of India’s defense capabilities. The operation exposed gaps in electronic warfare, counter-unmanned systems, and low-level radar technology. India is focusing on indigenous defense production and collaborating with DRDO to achieve self-reliance in defense.
