Following the Operation Sindoor raid, Indian intelligence reports indicate that Pakistan’s ISI has shifted to using solar‑powered cameras to monitor Indian military movements, potentially transmitting live feeds to Pakistan.
Operation Sindoor, the recent Indian raid on a suspected ISI facility, has prompted a noticeable change in Pakistan’s espionage tactics, according to Indian defence sources. The Inter‑Services Intelligence is now reportedly deploying solar‑powered surveillance cameras along the India‑Pakistan border and near sensitive army installations. These cameras are said to be capable of operating continuously without external power, allowing covert, long‑term observation of troop movements and logistical activities.
Indian military analysts warn that the live video feeds captured by these devices could be relayed in real time to ISI command centres, giving Pakistan a strategic edge in monitoring Indian defence postures. The shift to solar technology suggests an effort to evade detection, as traditional power sources often reveal surveillance equipment.
The development comes as Delhi reviews its counter‑intelligence measures and reinforces electronic warfare capabilities. While no concrete evidence of data transmission has been publicly disclosed, the intelligence community is treating the new pattern as a serious escalation in cross‑border spying activities.
