india has destroyed 9 terrorist hideouts in pakistan and pakistan Occupied kashmir (PoJK) under Operation Sindoor. In this precise and swift action, a special technique was used which is called 'Loitering Munition'.
What is Loitering Munition?
Loitering Munition, which is also commonly called 'Kamikaze Drone', is a smart weapon that first flies like a drone, monitors the area and then as soon as the enemy's hideout is seen, it attacks it just like a missile. These drone-like weapons hover in the sky for some time (that is why they are called 'Loitering') and as soon as the target is confirmed, they drop themselves on the enemy.
Special features of this technology
Precise target: They attack their target in a very accurate manner.
Less damage: They do not harm common people or surrounding areas.
Real-time control: Operators can control them directly or can also work autonomously.
No risk: The life of any soldier is not in danger in this.
Can kill the enemy even while moving.
How was it used in Operation Sindoor?
On 22 april 2025, 25 indians and 1 Nepali citizen lost their lives in the terrorist attack in Pahalgam. After this, india took immediate action and the Army, air Force and Navy together started 'Operation Sindoor'. During this operation, with the help of intelligence agencies, 9 terrorist bases present in pakistan and PoJK were identified. Then these bases were destroyed with Loitering Munition while staying within the border of India. In the attack, the hideouts of dangerous organizations like Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) were targeted. The special thing was that no Pakistani military base was targeted.
An example of India's strength and wisdom
Through this operation, india has given two messages simultaneously and that is that india will not show any leniency against terrorists. But the answer will be such that it will be given thoughtfully, limited and in a precise manner.
