India repels multiple Pakistani air attacks with strong defense systems

On May 9 and May 10, 2025, tensions escalated between India and Pakistan with numerous drone and missile attacks launched by Pakistan targeting various Indian locations. In response, the Indian Defence Forces successfully neutralized these aerial threats using advanced air defense systems, including the S-400, thereby preventing any significant damage. Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened a high-level meeting with key military and security officials, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, to assess the situation and coordinate the defensive measures. This meeting underscored the seriousness of the threat posed by Pakistani aggression, which had sharply increased in the wake of naval and aerial hostilities. The meeting took place following successful operations by Indian forces during 'Operation Sindoor', aimed at countering terrorism. As a result of these efforts and the robust government support over the last decade, India managed to reinforce its air defense capabilities, leading to a successful repulsion of the attacks, demonstrating the effectiveness of its military readiness. The multi-layered air defense grid, highlighted by Director General of Military Operations Rajiv Ghai, was instrumental in foiling Pakistan's attempts to breach Indian airspace with unmanned combat aerial vehicles, showing that Indian airbases remained operational and prepared for further missions. Despite the ongoing conflict, Indian military officials emphasized that their operations focused on combating terrorism rather than engaging with civilians in Pakistan.
