Forces are maintaining a high level of preparedness at all times to counter any potential action from across the border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Terming \u2018Operation Sindoor\u2019 as an example of India\u2019s military strength, he said, \u201cThere are no runners-up in war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince Operation Sindoor was carried out, our security forces have remained on high alert. A high-level alert remains in place across forward posts, with drones and radars deployed for round-the-clock surveillance,\u201d the CDS said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Pertinently, the Indian Armed Forces launched \u2018Operation Sindoor\u2019 on May 6, 2025, in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which left 26 civilians dead.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The armed forces destroyed over nine terror camps operated by Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terror outfits in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to the officials, over 100 terrorists were killed in the strikes. In response, Pakistan launched missile and drone attacks on Indian military installations between May 8 and 10. India conducted counter-strikes during the same period, targeting Pakistani military bases. The skirmishes ended on May 10, after Pakistan DGMO approached his Indian counterpart and requested for a ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the current phase of warfare, General Chauhan said, \u201cThe armed forces have to operate across multiple dimensions. The pace of technological change is affecting every aspect of military strategy and planning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He said that the nature of conflict has shifted, blending older methods of combat with newer, technology-driven tools.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He said this evolving form of warfare integrates kinetic and non-kinetic means and combines tactical, operational, and strategic aspects. He referred to this shift as a form of &#8220;convergence warfare.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>General Chauhan said members of the military must develop a clear understanding of both traditional combat methods and modern technological tools.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He said the ability to respond quickly and across domains will shape the outcome of future conflicts\u2014(KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forces on high alert, drones and radars deployed for surveillance round-the-clock &nbsp; Ability to respond quickly and across domains will shape outcome of future conflicts New Delhi, Jul 25 (KNO): Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan on Friday said that &lsquo;Operation Sindoor&rsquo; is still underway and the armed forces are maintaining a tight [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89574,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jammu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.khushalekashmir.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89572","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.khushalekashmir.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.khushalekashmir.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.khushalekashmir.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.khushalekashmir.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89572"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.khushalekashmir.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89572\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89573,"href":"https:\/\/www.khushalekashmir.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89572\/revisions\/89573"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.khushalekashmir.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.khushalekashmir.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89572"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.khushalekashmir.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89572"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.khushalekashmir.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89572"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
