9 Camps. 24 Missiles. 0 Collateral Damage. All Code 🇮🇳

Last night, when all of us slept peacefully, India launched an airstrike on Pakistan. Massive news! However, with this, the nation just redefined counter-terrorism with a silicon-first, soldier-last doctrine. Operation Sindoor just changed the rules of modern warfare.

Fifteen days after the deadly attack on tourists in Pahalgam, India launched its offensive, aptly named Operation Sindoor. Let’s get behind the scenes and understand how it all worked out.

It was a covert, AI-coordinated precision strike that deployed drones, smart bombs, and satellites. Not a single soldier crossed the border. No civilian or military casualties. Just pure precision — from the sky.

In a first-of-its-kind manoeuvre, Indian forces used:

• Rafale jets loaded with SCALP missiles (500 km range, terrain-hugging stealth)

• HAMMER smart bombs with AI-powered targeting for jammed GPS zones.

• Autonomous kamikaze drones for real-time recon and strike, powered by Indian startups.

• Satellite-backed intel via ISRO’s CartoSAT, RISAT, and GSAT streams.

Zero Guesswork, Zero Misfires, All Code

The operation demonstrated India’s maturing defence-tech ecosystem with DRDO managing payload targeting and strike integration, BEL offering radar suppression systems, BDL with its fire-control software, and NTRO + RAW providing real-time data orchestration.

Indian startups contributed to providing autonomous drone hardware and computer vision. This was not borrowed tech—it was Made in India.

Two ace women officers, Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, briefed the nation about the attack. Qureshi confirmed in a press conference that no military installation was targeted in the operation and there were no reports of civilian casualties in Pakistan.

From automated targeting to loitering munitions that self-correct mid-flight, this operation was more code-delegated than command-driven. Every strike was triple-validated by AI. 

Every drone had fail-safe abort protocols. No human error. No visibility gap. Just real-time coordination from the cloud to the cockpit. 

India’s upcoming stack in defence includes AI-powered battlefield agents, predictive intel modelling, low-latency encrypted mesh networks, iDEX and DRDO’s next-gen automation projects, and Bharat AI’s military intelligence layer.

Globally, AI in defence is projected to be a $500 billion market by 2030.
