New Delhi: In one of the most daring and tactically ambitious counter-offensive operations, India used BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to destroy Pakistani air bases in Round 2 of Sindoor Operation. The Indian Air Forces, with active support of other forces, are learnt to have struck 11 out of 12 Pakistani Air Bases spanning the length and breadth of the country and in the process also, crippled their Chinese supported Air Defence systems.
