50 Pakistani Drones Destroyed
According to sources, Pakistan sent drones to sensitive areas like Jammu, Samba, Baramulla, Kupwara, Udhampur, Pathankot, and Jaisalmer. However, in a large-scale counter-drone operation conducted by Indian Army air defence units, more than 50 drones were neutralised. This operation extensively used L-70 guns, ZU-23 mm guns, Shilka systems, and modern counter-UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) equipment.

Furthermore, the Indian Army also thwarted Pakistan’s attempted missile attacks using the S-400 air defence system. This system, India’s most advanced missile defence system acquired from Russia, is capable of accurately destroying aerial threats.
Pakistan Enraged by India’s Action
These attacks came after India launched missiles, destroying nine terrorist bases belonging to organisations like Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar in the Line of Control and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
