India's Air-Power Inflection Point: Tejas, Sindoor, and New Tech-Doctrine Convergence
India has recently shown significant advancements in its air-power capabilities.
During Operation Sindoor, India successfully executed precision strikes on Pakistani airbases and terror sites, demonstrating a new doctrine of calibrated, controlled, precision punishment.
India's air-defence systems, including the S-400, Akash batteries, and laser-based anti-drone systems, successfully neutralized 413 Pakistani drones and missiles.
This showcases India's ability to absorb and counter coordinated missile-drone salvos, a capability only a few nations possess.
The Tejas fighter jet, with an impressive safety record, is a key component of India's air-power strategy.
India's advancements in air-power are not just military but also geopolitical, altering regional stability and demonstrating India's ability to shape its own strategic destiny.
