'We Didn't Fall for Nuclear Bluff': Rajnath Singh Slams Pakistan, Explains Why Op Sindoor Was Halted

Singh said India precisely targeted the attackers and remained ready for a prolonged conflict, while defence exports rose 62.66% last year.

  • On Thursday, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated that India voluntarily halted Operation Sindoor on its own terms, emphasizing the country remained fully prepared to sustain a prolonged conflict if necessary.
  • Launched nearly a year ago following the Pahalgam terror attack, the operation demonstrated the jointness of the Indian Defence Forces, with the Army, Navy, and Air Force working under one integrated plan.
  • Lessons from the operation prompted calibrated procurements, including almost 30,000 crores in contracts for drones, loitering munitions, and mobile radars to ensure sufficient stockpiles and air defence capability.
  • Defence exports surged to around 39,000 crore in 2025-26, marking a 62.66 per cent increase over the previous year as several nations expressed interest in procuring Indian defence equipment.
  • India is exploring partnerships for sixth-generation fighter aircraft and developing hypersonic glide missiles, with Singh urging vigilance as technological weaponization challenges the established international order.
