Their success has strengthened India\u2019s reputation not only in the region but also globally,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n<p>The Defence Minister said that while the soldiers executed the mission on the frontlines, it was equally the result of the efforts of engineers, scientists, and industry professionals working behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe success of Operation Sindoor belongs not just to the soldiers who fought, but also to those who designed, developed, and produced the technology that made it possible,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople working in research, innovation, and manufacturing are silent contributors to national defence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the tensions that followed the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, Singh said India\u2019s response showed that the armed forces were prepared for any eventuality. However, he cautioned that the evolving global situation called for constant vigilance and self-reliance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the Pahalgam attack, when Operation Sindoor was launched, a situation arose where war was knocking at our doors,\u201d Singh said. \u201cOur forces are fully prepared to defend the nation in any circumstance, but the level of uncertainty in the world has increased. We must therefore move forward carefully, assessing every situation before taking action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the nature of modern warfare is changing rapidly, with technology, drones, and cyber capabilities becoming central to national security. \u201cTo deal with these changes effectively, indigenisation is the only path forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Pertinently, \u2018Operation Sindoor\u2019 was launched in May this year as a response to the Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 civilians dead. The operation involved precision strikes by the Indian Armed Forces on multiple terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
