Swiss Think Tank Reveals India’s Air Superiority in Operation Sindoor: Pakistan’s Crushing Defeat Exposed

Switzerland’s prestigious Centre for Military History and Perspective Studies (CHPM) released a comprehensive report detailing the 88-hour air war (May 7-10, 2025) during Operation Sindoor, permanently altering South Asia’s military balance.

Trigger & Opening Strikes

Pahalgam Attack: Sparked by deadly terrorist strike in Jammu-Kashmir.
Indian Response: IAF precision strikes obliterated Jaish-e-Mohammed & Lashkar-e-Taiba bases in Bahawalpur, Muridke—devastating Pakistan’s terror infrastructure.

Pakistan’s Initial Counter

Early Success: Chinese missiles helped down 1 Rafale + Mirage 2000 in opening night dogfight.
Propaganda Win: Temporary morale boost for Islamabad.

India’s Decisive Turn

Strategic Pivot: India shifted focus to dismantle Pakistan’s air defense network:

BrahMos & Scalp-EG: Shredded radar systems, missile shields.
Runway Strikes: Crippled PAF airbases’ operational capacity.
IACCCS + S-400: Neutralized Pakistani retaliation attempts.

Outcome: Pakistan’s Air Collapse

4 Days Later: Pakistan lost airspace control completely. Forced ceasefire after India’s overwhelming air dominance.

CHPM Verdict: Operation Sindoor proves future terror attacks will trigger full-scale conventional warfare—Pakistan can’t afford proxy games anymore.
