Union Home Minister Amit Shah confirmed that India deployed its indigenously developed BrahMos missiles to dismantle Pakistani air bases during Operation Sindoor. Addressing a gathering in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Amit Shah asserted that Pakistan’s Chinese-supplied air defense system remained ineffective during Operation Sindoor.
“As our indigenously developed BrahMos (supersonic cruise missile system) worked to destroy Pakistan’s air bases, its own air defence system, borrowed from China, remained unused. Our Air Force carried out precise attacks and inflicted heavy damage on many places in Pakistan, which were considered impregnable,” Amit Shah said as per news agency PTI.

Amit Shah said that Operation Sindoor will be historically recognized for its contribution to border safety and for exposing Pakistan’s links to terrorism on a global stage. He said, “Operation Sindoor will be written in golden letters when the history is written on the border safety.”
The Home Minister further stated that while previous surgical strikes and airstrikes were confined to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), Operation Sindoor involved penetrating 100 kilometers into Pakistani territory to eliminate terrorists and their operational hubs.
“Pakistan used to tell the whole world that no terrorist activity happens there and accused India of making false complaints. But, terrorists were finished with missiles under ‘Operation Sindoor’ and Pakistan was exposed to the world,” he said.
Amit Shah said that Operation Sindoor exposed Pakistan’s denial of harboring terrorist activities, stating that the elimination of terrorists and their infrastructure within Pakistan’s borders revealed the country’s complicity.
Emphasising that senior Pakistani army officers attended the terrorists’ funeral and offered prayers, Amit Shah said that this “exposed the nexus of the Pakistani Army, Pakistan, and terrorism, and the whole world came to know that Pakistan runs bases for terrorists.”
