| | JUNE 202519The prime minister expressed pride in his nation's military prowess, especially in light of its in-house defense systems."The world now recognizes that the time for Made-in-India defense equipment in 21st-century warfare has arrived,"He pointed out that Pakistani drone and missile attacks have been successfully thwarted by India's air defenses.Drew Parallel between Buddha's Teachings and India's Approach to International RelationsBuddha Purnima, a day that honors the birth, enlightenment, and demise of Lord Buddha, coincided with the PM's speech to the country. Drawing a parallel between the teachings of Buddha and India's approach to international relations, Modi said, "The path of peace also follows from the path of strength".In addition to saying that India's unity against terrorism would be a potent example, he urged the world to take note of India's position that its strength is essential to its pursuit of peace.How India Proved to the World its Strength and PatienceThrough its actions in this conflict, India was able to successfully accomplish three important goals: political, military, and psychological.A New Paradigm in Attacking Both Terrorists and their SupportersIndia showed a willingness to launch an attack deep into Pakistan's heartland by altering the parameters of engagement. India adopted a new paradigm by attacking both terrorists and their supporters, shattering the idea that they are distinct entities.Attacked in Never-Set-Foot-Before Terror HotspotsEven the US had not stepped to send its drones to Bahawalpur or other critical terror hotspots when India launched its attack. India has stated unequivocally that if terror comes from its territory, neither the Line of Control nor the territory inside Pakistan are off-limits. India has demonstrated to the world through its attacks that it can reach every part of Pakistan.In response, India declared a change in doctrine toward calibrated deterrence. Pakistan can no longer disregard the red line that Operation Sindoor has drawn: terrorism as state policy will have specific, obvious repercussions.Proved Supremacy in Technology and StrategyPakistan's air defense grid was effectively overcome or thwarted by Indian forces. With no losses allegedly recorded, Indian Rafale jets carrying HAMMER bombs and SCALP missiles carried out the mission, showcasing their supremacy in both technology and strategy. India served as an example of how contemporary air defense is constantly changing. India used a strong, multi-layered architecture to protect its own airspace. By destroying hundreds of Pakistani drones and missiles, the Akashteer Air Defence System demonstrated its effectiveness and is currently positioned as a potential export to other countries.India proved to the world that it will defend its citizens without waiting for authorization. It also demonstrated that there is nowhere for terrorists and their leaders to hide. In past confrontations, the majority of nations would come to India and request caution as soon as something against Pakistan started to go out of hand. But this time, a number of international leaders joined India in its fight against terrorism.
