Our fight is against terrorists, not with Pakistan Military: Air Marshal Bharti on Operation Sindoor
India, Pakistan DGMO talks to be held on Monday evening
#Australia’s legendary fast bowlers — #JeffThomson and #DennisLillee make it to #OperationSindoor
"From ashes to ashes and from dust to dust, if Thommo don't get you, then Lillee surely must". -- military commanders in devastating mood in giving powerful messages to Pakistan

Applauding the 'best way to use the metaphors', a retired Air Force personnel who served in forward areas of North Bengal and north east India said:
"A very good use of metaphor *ashes to ashes, dust to dust* to describe how India tackled Pakistan after terrorists trained across the border killed Indian tourists in Phalgam.
If India's message by reigning in the terrorist training camps in POK and in Pakistan's Punjab wasn't clear enough, Pakistan's misadventure of sending in a swarm of UAVs into Indian airspace .... is showed its readiness to tackle any kind of adversary".
DGMO Lt General Rajiv Ghai told a press conference:
"I was watching Virat Kohli taking retirement from Test cricket. Like many Indians, he is my favorite cricketer. Back in the 70s, during the famous Ashes series between Australia and England, two of Australia’s legendary fast bowlers — Jeff Thomson and Dennis Lillee — wreaked havoc on the English batting line-up.
Their dominance was so overwhelming that the Australians came up with a saying:
"From ashes to ashes and from dust to dust, if Thommo don't get you, then Lillee surely must. If you look closely at the layers, you’ll understand what I mean — even if you manage to get through all of them, one layer of this grid system is bound to catch you."
On being asked about the message being conveyed by using Ramdhari Singh Dinkar's poem in the video presentation, Air Marshal AK Bharti says,
"...'विनय ना मानत जलध जड़ गए तीन दिन बीति। बोले राम सकोप तब भय बिनु होय ना प्रीति'.."
"...The ocean is not accepting humility (विनय), three days have passed. Ram said in anger, 'There is no love without fear.'"
(Four years back PM Narendra Modi had said quote from Ram Charit Manas at a public function)
Air Marshal AK Bharti says, "... Numerous waves of drones and unmanned combat aerial vehicles employed by Pakistan were also thwarted by the indigenously developed soft and hard kill counter-UAS systems and the well-trained Indian Air Defence personnel."
DGMO Lt General Rajiv Ghai says, "In the last few years, the character of terrorist activities have changed. Innocent civilians were being attacked.. 'Pahalgam tak paap ka ye ghada bhar chuka tha'..."
Director General of Air Operations, IAF, Air Marshal AK Bharti said --
India's robust air defence system effectively thwarted Pakistani attempts to target Indian installations.
Vice Admiral AN Pramod says, "Effectively using multiple sensors and inputs, we are maintaining continuous surveillance to degrade or neutralise threats as they emerge or manifest to ensure targeting at extended ranges.
All these are conducted under the umbrella of a comprehensive and effective layered fleet air defence mechanism that caters for all threats, be it drones, high-speed missiles or aircraft, both fighters as well as surveillance aircraft..."
Lt. General Rajiv Ghai also said:
"Targetting our airfields and logistics is way too tough... I saw that Virat Kohli has just retired from test cricket; he is one of my favourites.
In the 1970s, during the Ashes between Australia and England, two Australian bowlers destroyed the batting lineup of England, and then Australia gave a proverb -
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Thommo don't get ya, Lillee must".
If you see the layers, you'll understand what I am trying to say.
Even if you crossed all the layers, one of the layers of this grid system
will hit you ."
The Indian military shows the debris of a likely PL-15 air-to-air missile, which is of Chinese origin and was used by Pakistan during the attack on India.
The wreckage of the Turkish-origin YIHA and Songar drones that were shot down by India has also been shown.
When asked if India hit Kirana Hills, Air Marshal AK Bharti says, "Thank you for telling us that Kirana Hills houses some nuclear installation, we did not know about it. We have not hit Kirana Hills, whatever is there."
Air Marshal A K Bharti said: "...This was a different kind of warfare and is bound to happen. God forbid, but if we fight another war, that would be completely different from this one.
It is a cat-and-mouse game, and we need to be ahead of the curve to beat the adversary."
"Whatever loss they suffered, it was their own responsibility": Air Marshal Bharti details response to Pak aggression
There was no two views ... as India thawrted the Pakistani attack and even struck down 'Made in China' jets and captured PAF pilots. It seems common man in India wasn't surprised about downing of China made jets. We all cherished that.... that's the impression about *Made in China* devices. - Aquaris Patil, Maharashtra
