Operation Sindoor: Swiss Think Tank Exposes India’s Air Dominance, Pakistan’s Crushing Defeat
Switzerland’s prestigious Centre for Military History and Perspective Studies (CHPM) released a comprehensive report revealing shocking details of Operation Sindoor—the 88-hour air war (May 7-10, 2025) between India and Pakistan that permanently altered South Asia’s military balance.
Conflict erupted after deadly attack on tourists in Jammu-Kashmir’s Pahalgam. India linked it directly to terror groups operating from Pakistani soil, authorizing armed forces for exemplary retaliation.
May 7 Dawn Strikes: IAF conducted precision airstrikes on Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba headquarters in Bahawalpur and Muridke, devastating enemy infrastructure.
Initial Success: Chinese missiles helped Pakistan down 1 Rafale + Mirage 2000 in opening night dogfight, securing propaganda victory.
Game-Changing Pivot: IAF shifted focus to dismantle Pakistan’s air defense:
BrahMos & Scalp-EG missiles shredded radar networks and missile shields.
Runway attacks crippled PAF airbase operations.
IACCCS + S-400 neutralized Pakistani counterstrikes.
Day 4 Reality: Pakistan lost complete airspace control. Forced ceasefire within 4 days after India’s overwhelming superiority.
CHPM Conclusion: Operation Sindoor proves future terror attacks will trigger full-scale conventional war—Pakistan cannot afford proxy terrorism anymore.
