How tech-driven responses to terrorism are replacing all-out war
India launched Operation Sindoor after a terrorist attack in Pahalgam killed 26 civilians just weeks earlier.
In a swift pre-dawn operation, Indian forces hit nine terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir using advanced artillery, drones, and Rafale jets.
Operation Sindoor has been described as significant for its scope.
Operation Sindoor signals a new approach
Operation Sindoor signals a new approach: precise strikes against terror groups like Jaish-e-Mohammed while, according to Indian officials, avoiding civilian or military targets in Pakistan.
When Pakistan fired back with drones and missiles at Indian bases, India's air defense systems intercepted the vast majority of them.
The episode highlights how both countries—armed with nuclear weapons—are now relying more on tech-driven responses to terrorism rather than risking all-out war.
