Precision in Unity: India’s Armed Forces Redefine Joint Operations
(Wing Cdr. Arijit Ghosh is a Prolific Writer and an Airforce Veteran with several feathers on his career and professional caps. He is also one of the Chief Editors of Global TV)
The new-found ability of the Indian Air Force, Army and Navy to launch devastating, coordinated, simultaneous and lethal attacks on terror installations and facilities, from multiple directions and locations, hundreds of miles away, from their own side of the Border, all within the space of a deadly half an hour between 1.05 and 1.35 AM on the night of 6th -7th May, was an absolutely stunning display of coordination and jointsmanship amongst the three services, on land sea and air.
And it served to send out a chilling message to the world that the Indian Armed Forces of today has multiple options of force and weapons delivery platforms at its disposal that it can use, to hit the enemy.
To my mind, that is something that has rarely, if ever, been done before with such precision in such a perfectly coordinated joint operation in military history.
And I think that this jointsmanship is the biggest takeaway from this conflict! It’s a reflection of the new maturity and confidence of a highly professional Force that is fully aware of its own strengths and capabilities, and is not about to hold back in showcasing them to the world when necessary!
