You destroyed all the big bases of terrorism. 9 terrorist hideouts were destroyed. More than 100 terrorists died…” said PM Modi.

I am proud that you achieved your objective without harming the civilian aircraft…” said PM Modi.
The Prime Minister further said the IAF today have the capability of new and cutting-edge technology which Pakistan cannot counter. “In the last decade, world’s best technologies have reached the Air Force and all our other Forces.

You connected tech with tactics. You have proven that you are excellent in this game,” he said.

Be it India’s traditional air defence system which has witnessed several battles or our Made in India platforms like Akash – all of these have been given unprecedented strength modern and capable defence system like S-400.
