Air Marshal Bharti highlighted that the primary objective was to neutralise terror infrastructure, but Pakistan's military escalated the conflict by supporting militants and launching direct attacks on Indian assets.
He praised the performance of India's indigenous Akash missile system, which, alongside the Russian S-400, Israeli Barak-8, and SPYDER systems, formed a robust, layered shield capable of intercepting threats at various ranges and altitudes. These systems, integrated via the Akashteer command-and-control network, enabled real-time detection and rapid neutralisation of incoming threats.

During the attacks, Pakistan deployed multiple waves of drones and missiles, including Chinese-origin PL-15 air-to-air missiles, targeting Indian airfields and logistics hubs. All major threats were intercepted, with Indian forces showcasing recovered debris as evidence of their success. Vice Admiral AN Pramod added that continuous surveillance using multiple sensors and inputs ensured early detection and targeting of hostile objects, reinforcing the effectiveness of India's layered defence.
The DGMOs asserted that all military bases and systems remain fully operational and ready for future missions if needed. The officers underscored that India's defensive success was the result of years of investment in indigenous technology and seamless coordination among the armed forces.

Industry players say a central law could protect legitimate players while driving out rogue offshore platforms that evade taxes and skirt customer protections. At present, states such as Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, and Maharashtra, among others, are in different stages of enforcing state rules on the industry. Industry bodies argue this patchwork of policies is hurting business and consumers alike, and have called on the Centre to establish nationwide standards for compliance, advertising, KYC norms, and domestic operator

"We are hopeful of a there would be no compromise on the interests of Indian farmers," one the persons told ET."India's stance in these areas is very clear," said another person. "There are red lines that will not be crossed".India's trade negotiators extended their stay in Washington, beyond the scheduled two-day visit ending June 27, as talks with the US government stretched on."The talks are at a critical juncture," said a third person, adding that the deal could also be in multiple phases with certain details following had on April 2 announced a reciprocal tariff of 26% on goods imports from India as part of the administration's trade levies on many countries. The tariffs were paused for 90 days until July 9. However, the baseline tariff of 10% will stay in force even if the reciprocal tariffs are lifted after a trade US wants to be able to sell GM crops and cattle feed to India, a sensitive issue for New Delhi.

‘Can We Buy BrahMos?': Pakistani General Gets A Stinging Clapback From Missile Maker
New Delhi: At an international arms expo in Dubai, a high-ranking Pakistan Army officer walked up to one of India's missile scientists. 'Would India ever sell the BrahMos missile to Pakistan?' he asked. Dr. Apathukatha Sivathanu Pillai, the man behind the indigenous missile, did not blink. Equal parts wit and warning, his response cut straight through: 'For Pakistan, it would be free of cost.' The hall went quiet. The message was clear. This was not just a casual exchange. It unfolded against the backdrop of heightened tensions between the two countries. India had recently launched Operation Sindoor in response to the deadly April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. The operation hit terror camps deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Following Pakistan's retaliatory strikes with missiles and drones, New Delhi responded back and successfully targeted Rawalpindi, Chakwal and Rahim Yar Khan. Skardu, Bholari and Jacobabad airbases took major hits. Even radar installations in Sialkot and Pasrur did not escape the precision strikes. At the heart of India's modern strike capability is BrahMos – a missile born of an Indo-Russian partnership but matured with Indian innovation. It carries weight. In reputation. In capability. And in message. The missile is no ordinary weapon. A two-stage system. The first stage fires a solid propellant booster, pushing the missile to supersonic speeds. Then it separates. The second stage, powered by a liquid-fueled ramjet, takes over and propels it to speeds nearing Mach 3. Designed with stealth features and advanced guidance, BrahMos travels with speed, silence and deadly accuracy. Named after the Brahmaputra and Moskva rivers, this missile is more than just a technological achievement. It is a statement. Today, India continues to work on making the BrahMos more indigenous. From private firms to state labs, the focus remains on tightening control, improving systems and pushing the limits. All while keeping the deterrent razor-sharp. So when Pakistan asked if it could buy one, the reply was not only sharp but calculated as well. Some things are never for sale, especially when the buyer is the target.
