Lessons from Operation Sindoor ::: ".... precision-guided munitions like Scalp, Brahmos etc rendered geographical barriers meaningless" - senior Air Force officer

Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit says, 

"The lessons from #OperationSindoor have reinforced what military strategists have long understood but perhaps not fully appreciated until now. 

Modern warfare, thanks to technology, has fundamentally altered the relationship between distance and vulnerability. Today, precision-guided munitions like Scalp, Brahmos, etc. have rendered geographical barriers almost meaningless".   

He also said:

"...When we look at global conflicts commencing from Armenia-Azerbaijan to Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas, and to our own experience in #OperationSindoor, one truth emerges with crystal clarity - the side that sees first, sees farthest and sees most accurately, prevails."  

"When weapons can strike targets hundreds of kilometres away with pinpoint accuracy, the traditional concepts of front, rear and flanks, combat zones, and depth areas—all become irrelevant, what we call the front of the theatre merges into one. 

This new reality demands that we extend our surveillance envelope far beyond what previous generations could have even imagined," he said.
