PAK attacked with drones during Operation Sindoor
During Operation Sindoor, Pakistan attacked India through about 1000 drones in three days (7-9 May). A large number of these were surveillance drones and some were Yihwa Loating Munition (functional) drones taken from Turkey. These are equipped with drones, bombs or other ammunition. Their fall causes an explosion and causes tremendous damage to the place where it falls.
Indigenous drones and military equipment used by the Indian Army were also displayed at the Army Chief’s reception. These included a bunker on which bullets had no effect. Victory Day is celebrated every year on 16 December to commemorate the defeat of Pakistan by dividing it into two parts in the 1971 war.
