Indian Strikes Cause Heavy Damage to Pakistan Airbases

Recent satellite imagery confirms that Pakistan's Nur Khan airbase in Rawalpindi suffered far more extensive damage from India's 'Operation Sindoor' than initially reported, with an entire operations complex demolished rather than just two special-purpose trucks. The operation, conducted between May 7 and 10 in retaliation for a deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, also targeted other bases including Murid, where structural damage to a Command & Control building was observed. The airbase, a critical hub for Pakistan's drone and VIP air fleet, saw its infrastructure severely compromised, highlighting significant vulnerabilities in Pakistan's air defense. The strikes disabled key assets such as airborne early warning systems, C-130 transporters, and advanced drones, severely impacting Pakistan’s surveillance and operational capabilities. The extent of destruction suggests restoration of some facilities was deemed unviable, representing a major strategic and symbolic setback for Pakistan's military. Despite a ceasefire agreement on May 12, tensions remain high following these precision cross-border attacks.
