'When Brahmos fell on Noor Khan Airbase, we had only...': Shehbaz Shariff's advisor makes shocking revelation of how scared Pakistan was
Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif's advisor has for the first time revealed details about the night when India fired the Brahmos missile during Operation Sindoor. India attacked Pakistan's Noor Khan airbase with the Brahmos missile, which is just a few kilometers away from the Pakistani Army headquarters in Rawalpindi. The attack on Noor Khan airbase shook Pakistan and became a turning point in this war.
What Shehbaz Shariff said?
Rana Sanaullah Khan, special advisor to Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, revealed that when India attacked Noor Khan airbase with the Brahmos missile, Pakistan had only 30 seconds to decide whether it was a sign of a nuclear attack or not.
Rana Sanaullah, while talking to Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir, who is an expert in spreading propaganda, said that 'When India attacked with Brahmos missile and it fell on Noor Khan airbase, then Pakistan's leadership had only 30-40 seconds to find out whether the incoming Brahmos missile had an atomic bomb or not. And in those 30 seconds, deciding that it was not there and deciding that it was (atomic bomb)… you can understand how dangerous it was.'
He also mentioned, '….after the attack, it was President Donald Trump who intervened and we thanked him.'
India attacked Noorkhan airbase with Brahmos
Noor Khan Airbase is located just 10 kilometers away from Pakistan's capital Islamabad and is a very sensitive and strategic location for the Pakistan Air Force. It is not only used for VVIP movements and military transport, but Pakistan's air-tankers and squadrons are also deployed here. Also, this airbase is located very close to Pakistan's nuclear command, that is, this airbase is just a few kilometers away from the headquarters of the Strategic Plans Division (SPD) and Pakistan's nuclear command center is also located a little distance from here.

Spy planes, minesweepers, missiles: How Op Sindoor has triggered a ₹1tn defence shopping spree
Spy planes, minesweepers, missiles: How Op Sindoor has triggered a ₹1tn defence shopping spree Team TOI Plus Jul 4, 2025, 17:21 IST These critical purchases through indigenous sourcing have been cleared by the Defence Acquisition Council, a move that reflects the Modi govt's heightened focus on national security and self-reliance in defence manufacturing The Modi government has granted initial approval for three major defence acquisition projects and seven smaller ones, together valued at over ₹1tn. The procurement spans a wide range of cutting-edge systems, including specialised surveillance aircraft, advanced minesweepers, quick-reaction air defence missiles, and underwater drones. These critical purchases through indigenous sourcing were cleared by the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), chaired by defence minister Rajnath Singh , on July 3 — just weeks after the Indian military launched Operation Sindoor in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.

How Pakistan Exposed China's 'Proxy Warfare' Tactics During India's Operation Sindoor
Last Updated: Sources said the battle was a testbed for fifth-generation, multi-domain conflict orchestrated by China, executed by Pakistan, and augmented by Turkey During DGMO-level ceasefire talks in May, Pakistan provided precise details of Indian strike vectors, sourced through Chinese satellites, SIGINT aircraft, and radar sweeps, exposing Beijing's 'proxy war" tactics, top security sources told CNN-News18 on Friday. Indian encrypted communications were intercepted via Chinese ELINT platforms, compromising target secrecy and enabling precise Pakistani counterstrikes, they added. Pakistan executed strikes with unusual precision, using 81% of its combat inventory—J-10C jets, PL-15 missiles, and EW modules—and treated the conflict as a live weapons lab, the sources said. Bayraktar TB2 drones, accompanied by trainers and pilots, were deployed for persistent aerial surveillance and guided artillery barrages. Electronic Warfare: India's Project Kautilya jammers disrupted Chinese-Pakistani ISR channels, neutralising enemy drones and artillery accuracy. Standoff Strikes: SkyStriker drones, BrahMos, and SCALP-EG cruise missiles replaced manned missions; target decisions were compressed to under 60 minutes to evade ISR leaks. Army, Air Force, and Navy units were synchronised under a dynamic control grid, limiting adversary ISR exploitation. Proxy Warfare Now Precision-Guided: China's indirect participation weaponised both Pakistan and Turkey, avoiding diplomatic fallout. Future Warfare Will Be Sensor-Driven, Not Tank-Driven: The enemy's advantage lay in seeing first and striking first—ISR denial must now drive India's force posture. Rapid Tactical Agility is India's Edge: India's swift transition to drone-based strikes, electronic warfare, and theatre-level command within 48 hours stalled the adversary's momentum. Operation Sindoor was not a conventional war, said the sources. It was a testbed for fifth-generation, multi-domain conflict orchestrated by China, executed by Pakistan, and augmented by Turkey, they added. India's strategic success, said the sources, lay not in battlefield wins but in recognising and rapidly adapting to this paradigm.
