Short-duration, deep-penetration, high-intensity & high-impact, Op Sindoor showcased India’s collective resolve & new military ethos: Raksha Mantri at Joint Commanders’ Conference

• Operation Sindoor = India's tri-service precision strike on 9 terror sites in Pakistan and PoJK (06–07 May 2025) following the 22 April 2025 Pahalgam attack that killed 26 civilians.
• At the 2nd Joint Commanders' Conference (JCC), Jaipur, 7–8 May 2026, Raksha Mantri Rajnath Singh framed Sindoor as a "short-duration, deep-penetration, high-intensity and high-impact" campaign exemplifying a new joint military ethos.
• Touches GS-III (Internal Security, Defence Tech) and GS-II (India–Pakistan); fertile ground for static (jointness, theaterisation) + current (AI, autonomous systems, Indus Waters Treaty suspension) linkages.
