On May 7, the Indian Air Force effectively deployed its S-400 “Sudarshan Chakra” systems to intercept and neutralize a synchronized Pakistani drone and missile attack targeting Indian security installations. This assault was a direct response to India's Operation Sindoor, which aimed at terrorist camps across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir earlier that same day.
Pakistani forces launched a barrage of drones and missiles aimed at critical locations in Awantipora, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Ludhiana, and Bhuj—but each threat was successfully intercepted and neutralized by India’s advanced S-400 systems.
With one of the world’s most sophisticated air-defense systems, the S-400 is capable of detecting incoming threats from distances up to 600 km and engaging them within a 400 km range. India has established four S-400 squadrons, strategically positioning units in Pathankot, Rajasthan, and Gujarat to safeguard its most sensitive areas.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defence indicates that Pakistan has intensified unprovoked mortar and heavy artillery fire along the Line of Control, targeting various sectors in Jammu and Kashmir—including Kupwara, Baramulla, Uri, Poonch, Mendhar, and Rajouri.
