In an unprecedented move, the Indian military successfully neutralized between 800 and 1000 drones launched from Pakistan over four days along the western border. This strategic success is attributed to the seamless coordination among the Army, Navy, and Air Force under Operation Sindoor, according to Lieutenant General Sumer Ivan D'Cunha, Director General of the Army Air Defence.
In an exclusive interview with ANI, Lt Gen D'Cunha revealed that all drones carrying dangerous payloads were intercepted, preventing any harm to civilians.

India's multi-layered air defense system includes diverse weapons capable of engaging threats at various altitudes.
