NEW DELHI: The Indian Air Force on Tuesday released a video titled “Indian Air Force – Responds with resolve always…”, IAF dropped this clip on social media after the successful conduct of India’s recent counterterrorism action against Pakistan under Operation Sindoor.The video features visuals of IAF operations and describes the force with words such as “unseen, unstoppable and unmatched.” Set to the powerful track “Aarambh hai prachand” by Piyush Mishra from the film Gulaal, the clip portrays the swift and precise nature of the IAF’s aerial strikes. Aircraft are depicted as “swift, lethal and agile,” striking targets with “high precision”.The video was shared on the IAF’s official handle on X, shortly after India’s strong military response to cross-border terrorism allegedly backed by Pakistan.Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7 as a strong response to Pakistan-sponsored terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam, in which 26 innocent people were killed. The Indian Air Force carried out precision strikes on nine terror-linked locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. Among the targets were the Jaish-e-Mohammed headquarters in Bahawalpur and a key Lashkar-e-Taiba site in Muridke, located deep inside mainland Pakistan.After these strikes, Pakistan responded with shelling across the Line of Control and attempted drone attacks along border areas. In a coordinated retaliation, the Indian Air Force hit radar installations, communication hubs, and airbases at 11 locations inside Pakistan, these included high-value targets like – Nur Khan Airbase and Rahim Yar Khan Airbase.The hostilities de-escalated on May 10 after both nations agreed to a ceasefire, though India has maintained that Operation Sindoor is “paused, not over.”
