In the wake of heightened tensions, insights from Retired Air Vice Marshal Suryakant Chintaman Chafekar and defence expert Sanjay Kulkarni underscore India's strategic defensive edge. Highlighting the nation's advanced capabilities, they emphasize how India's sophisticated defence systems effectively countered Pakistan's recent tactical maneuvers.

Air Vice Marshal Chafekar detailed that Pakistan launched a large-scale drone attack in a deviation from traditional war tactics, attempting to target Indian military and civilian sites. He elaborated that Pakistan underestimated India's advanced systems, notably the S-400 air defence shield, and the extensive Unmanned Aerial System grid that detects a variety of threats from afar.

Contrasting Pakistan's limited HQ-9 air defence system, Chafekar noted its ineffectiveness against drones. Complementing these insights, Sanjay Kulkarni highlighted India's preparedness, mentioning Pakistan's broad strategy involving cyberwarfare, drones, and missiles. Yet, India is poised with potential for a decisive counter, marking airports and enforcing blackouts, signaling resolve and capability against provocations.
