VIDEO | Special Defence Briefing on India-Pakistan military action: Referring to Indian cricketer Virat Kohli's retirement from Tests earlier in the day, DGMO Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai drew a parallel between cricket and military operations. Here's what he said:
Footage and images from the past week’s engagements were presented during the briefing, showing selected examples of the intercepted threats and the precision of Indian strikes on terror targets. While many of these visuals have already surfaced on social media, the DGAO emphasized that only a curated sample was shown to the press, not the full extent of India’s operational success.
May 12, 2025, 3:00 PM IST
“Putting together this potent Air Defence network has been the result of a decade-long effort backed by consistent government support in terms of funding and procurement,” the DGAO said, acknowledging the contribution of defence policies and budgetary provisions.
May 12, 2025, 3:00 PM IST
The DGAO also commended the role of indigenous technologies in India’s defence strategy, notably the Akash missile system and various soft and hard-kill Counter-UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) mechanisms, which successfully neutralized waves of drones and UCAVs (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles) deployed by Pakistan. Older legacy systems such as the Pechora, OSA-AK, and LLAD guns also demonstrated their continued effectiveness during recent operations.

May 12, 2025, 2:46 PM IST
Air Marshal AK Bharti says, "...Our battle-proven systems stood the test of time and take them head on. Another highlight has been the stellar performance of the indigenous air defence system, the Akash system. Putting together and operationalising the potent AD environment has been possible only because of budgetary and policy support from the government of India in the last decade."
