India’s Air Defence Strategy Showcases Modern Warfare Integration

John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, has commended India’s air defence strategy during Operation Sindoor.

He emphasised that effective defence relies more on integration than mere acquisition.

“Air Defense in the Modern Era: No Silver Bullets, Only Layers,” Spencer remarked, underscoring the importance of a cohesive and layered defence system.

He noted that India’s approach not only protected its airspace but also effectively countered adversaries equipped with Chinese-made systems.

Operation Sindoor: A Testament To Strategic Defence

Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack, saw Indian forces neutralising several terrorist camps in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

The operation highlighted India’s capability to integrate various defence systems, ensuring both offensive and defensive objectives were met.

Spencer’s observations suggest that India’s success was not solely due to advanced weaponry but stemmed from the seamless integration of its defence infrastructure.

Implications For Future Defence Strategies

The insights from Operation Sindoor underscore the evolving nature of modern warfare, where integration and adaptability are paramount.

India’s approach serves as a model for nations aiming to enhance their defence capabilities without solely relying on new acquisitions.

As global threats become more sophisticated, the emphasis on integrated defence systems will likely shape future military strategies worldwide.
