In a stirring speech at the Bhuj Air Force Station, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh praised the Indian Air Force (IAF) for its lightning-fast execution of Operation Sindoor, calling it a defining moment that showcased India’s military prowess and unwavering stance against terrorism.
“In the time it takes to have breakfast, you neutralised the enemy,” Singh remarked, earning resounding applause from the air force personnel. He emphasized the IAF’s precision and efficiency, completing the mission in just 23 minutes, and hailed it as a moment of pride for Indians both at home and abroad.
“Operation Sindoor was not just a military success — it was a global message. You dismantled terror infrastructure rooted in Pakistan with unmatched speed and accuracy,” he said.
Singh noted that the operation had captured international attention and reinforced India’s zero-tolerance approach to terrorism. “This was a clear warning to those who think they can destabilise India. We will strike back — quickly and decisively.”
The Defence Minister’s remarks come amid high national morale following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which prompted India to launch the targeted military operation in response.
