Why India ended Pakistan war quickly after OP Sindoor: Explained
India's Air Chief Marshal AP Singh shared why the country wrapped up its military action against Pakistan so quickly after Operation Sindoor.
The operation began in May 2025, following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam that killed 26 people in April 2025.
Instead of dragging things out, India targeted specific terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and ended the conflict once those goals were met.
What Singh said
Singh pointed out that ending conflicts fast—unlike the drawn-out wars we see elsewhere—helps protect a country's economy and resources.
By acting decisively and avoiding unnecessary escalation, Singh suggested that the world must learn from India how to efficiently manage and terminate conflicts.
The operation also showed a focus on precision; as General Anil Chauhan highlighted, strikes were timed carefully to avoid civilian harm.
