Former Army chief Ajit Naravane has outlined how India altered its operational tactics during Operation Sindoor, noting that strikes extended beyond the Line of Control.
Former Army chief Ajit Naravane, in a recent briefing, detailed the strategic changes India implemented during Operation Sindoor, a counter‑insurgency effort in the Kashmir region.
Naravane explained that the operation evolved from a conventional border‑centric approach to a more dispersed campaign, targeting hostile elements across a wider area.
Key adjustments included the use of precision-guided munitions, enhanced real‑time intelligence sharing between ground units and air assets, and coordinated strikes that reached beyond the Line of Control.
The chief emphasized that this broadened scope aimed to disrupt enemy logistics and deter future incursions, marking a significant shift in India’s defence posture in the region.
