India, while is committed to disengagement and de-escalating the situation on the #LAC , #China continues to undertake provocative activities to escalate.

@adgpi Image
At no stage has the Indian Army transgressed across the LAC or resorted to use of any aggressive means, including firing.

#indiachina
It is the PLA that has been blatantly violating agreements and carrying out aggressive manoeuvres, while engagement at military, diplomatic and political level is in progress. : @adgpi

#IndiaChinaBorderClash
#PangongLake
In an instant case on 7th Sept 2020, it was the PLA troops who were attempting to close-in with one of our forward positions along the #LAC &when dissuaded by our troops, PLA troops fired a few rounds in the air in an attempt to intimidate our troops. : @adgpi
#IndiaChinaBorder
However, despite the grave provocation, our troops exercised great restraint & behaved in a mature & responsible manner. : @adgpi
#IndiaChinaBorderTensions
#LAC
The #IndianArmy is committed to maintaining peace &tranquility, however is also determined to protect national integrity & sovereignty at all costs. The statement by the Western Theatre Command is an attempt to mislead their domestic & international audience: @adgpi

India’s Tech Hits Something Different!

Operation Sindoor proved one thing loud and clear — you don’t mess with Made-in-India tech.

This wasn’t just a mission; it was a message. A message that India’s defence is now smart, silent, and self-reliant.

From precision drones and stealth missiles to satellite networks and radar jamming — this is a new era of Indian power.

#OperationSindoorImage
The Drone That Hunts First!

The enemy never had a chance. The SkyStriker kamikaze drone — built by Elbit Systems and Adani’s Alpha Design — stalks its target before it strikes. It can operate on its own or under human control. It moves like a drone, hits like a missile, and disappears like a ghost.

#OperationSindoorImage
India’s Skyshield With Israeli Precision!

Barak-8 is India’s aerial defence shield — co-developed by DRDO and Israel Aerospace Industries.

With mobile launchers on land and sea, this missile system is fast, flexible, and deadly accurate. When it comes to incoming threats, Barak-8 ensures nothing gets through.

🧵 Thread: John Spencer on #OperationSindoor

#JohnSpencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute, lauded India's approach as a demonstration of strategic restraint and assertiveness. Image
Operation Sindoor redefined India’s red lines, treating terror attacks from Pakistani territory as acts of war.

Spencer remarked:

"India struck back harder, but stopped short of general war. That is textbook deterrence: calibrated, controlled, and credible."

#OperationSindhoorImage
John Spencer characterised Operation Sindoor as a "massive victory" for India.

He argued that India achieved and exceeded its strategic aims in just four days of calibrated military action.

Spencer views this as the application of:

"Decisive power, clearly applied, not just symbolic force."

John Spencer, a leading expert on modern warfare, hailed #OperationSindoor as India's massive victory.

India has not declared Operation Sindoor completely over. What exists now is a sensitive halt in operations—some may call it a ceasefire, but military leaders have deliberately avoided that word. From a warfighting perspective, this is not merely a pause; it is a strategic hold following a rare and unambiguous military victory.

@SpencerGuardImage
After just four days of calibrated military action, it is objectively conclusive: India achieved a massive victory. Operation Sindoor met and exceeded its strategic aims—destroying terrorist infrastructure, demonstrating military superiority, restoring deterrence, and unveiling a new national security doctrine. This was not symbolic force. It was decisive power, clearly applied.

#OperationSindoor
India was attacked. On April 22, 2025, 26 Indian civilians, mostly Hindu tourists, were massacred in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir. The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), claimed responsibility. As has been the case for decades, the group is backed by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

Akashteer: The “New Age” Air Defence Ecosystem

How could India hit 13 targets, including 8 air base,s so precisely inside various strategic locations in Pakistan? How did Pakistan fail so miserably? These questions have rattled the experts across the world. On the intervening night of 9th & 10th May, when Pakistan unleashed its deadliest attack against Indian military & civilian areas with missiles and drones, they were challenged by the impenetrable, the iron dome, the Indian wall of Self Defence – Akashteer.

@DefenceMinIndia @PIB_India @PIBFactCheck @MIB_India
It was Akashteer, which stopped all Pakistani inbound airborne drones, missiles, other micro UAVs and other loitering munitions and prevented them from entering the Indian airspace.

Akashteer is probably the first operational AI war-cloud built entirely without any foreign components or satellite dependencies. Compared to Akashteer, Pakistan’s air defence response consisted of HQ- 9 & HQ-16 proved to be a failure to detect our projectiles & intercept them timely manner, resulting in heavy losses. ‘Akashteer’, the fully AI-powered autonomous defence system successfully did the real-time target interception and indulged in drone warfare.

@DefenceMinIndia @PIB_India @PIBFactCheck @MIB_India
Akashteer provides a common, real-time air picture to all involved parties (control room, radars, and Air Defense Guns), enabling coordinated air defense operations. It is a system designed to automate detection, tracking and engagement of enemy aircraft, drones and missiles. It integrates various radar systems, sensors and communication technologies into a single operational framework.

Akashteer gathers data from multiple sources, processes it and allows for automated, real-time engagement decisions. Akashteer is part of the broader C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) framework, working in coordination with other systems like ISRO satellites and NAVIC GPS.
