Pakistan Unleashed 840 Missiles on India During Operation Sindoor
India’s Operation Sindoor, which targeted Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed infrastructure, involved 54 missiles, including BrahMos, SCALP, and Crystal Maze, all hitting with pinpoint accuracy, according to defense sources. The Indian Air Force also struck 11 Pakistani airbases, including Nur Khan and Rahim Yar Khan, crippling 20% of Pakistan’s air force infrastructure. Social media erupted with mockery, with X posts like @IndiaWarZone stating, “Pakistan launched 840 missiles at India during Operation Sindoor — none hit their target,” and @RealBababanaras adding, “Quality matters. Made in China didn’t work.” The hashtag #OperationSindoor trended, with users like @Ltcolonelvikas calling Pakistan’s accuracy “0%.”
Pakistan’s military claimed civilian casualties, alleging Indian strikes hit mosques and residential areas in Punjab and Azad Kashmir, but India dismissed these as “propaganda,” asserting all targets were terror-related. A Pakistani document cited by Al Jazeera listed strikes on six cities, including Muzaffarabad and Bahawalpur, but Indian officials maintained transparency in targeting only militant sites. The conflict, which saw Pakistan’s Chinese-made HQ-9 air defenses fail against India’s missiles, ended with a US-brokered ceasefire on May 10, mediated by Senator Marco Rubio.
Analysts highlight India’s technological edge, with the BrahMos missile’s one-meter accuracy and Akashteer’s interception of drone swarms proving decisive. Pakistan’s failed missile salvo, including Fatah-I and Fatah-II rockets, underscored the ineffectiveness of its Chinese-supplied arsenal, prompting calls from experts like Srujan Palkar for the US to reconsider Pakistan’s Major Non-NATO Ally status.
