Fresh details from the documentary Declassified: Operation Sindoor have revealed the scale of the missile confrontation between India and Pakistan during the May 2025 conflict. According to the newly disclosed account, Pakistan launched a high-speed missile towards Delhi, which was intercepted by Indian air-defence forces near Sirsa in Haryana.
The incident occurred amid a wider Pakistani missile and drone offensive against Indian military locations. India’s defence authorities have said that attacks launched on May 7 and 8 were detected and neutralised by the country’s integrated air-defence and counter-drone systems.
The missile threat was followed by a major Indian counteroffensive against Pakistani military infrastructure. Indian forces expanded their strikes to several important air bases and defence installations, using a combination of precision weapons and long-range strike systems.
BrahMos emerged as a major component of India’s offensive capability during the operation. The supersonic cruise missile was used in strikes against Pakistani military targets, with reports highlighting attacks on key air bases and installations. India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh subsequently described BrahMos as a symbol of the strength and deterrence capability of the Indian Armed Forces.
The exchange demonstrated the importance of combining offensive precision weapons with a strong defensive network. While Indian air-defence systems worked to stop incoming missiles and drones, long-range weapons such as BrahMos enabled India to strike military infrastructure beyond the immediate battlefield.
The latest revelations add another dimension to Operation Sindoor, showing how quickly the confrontation escalated after Pakistan employed missiles against Indian targets. The episode also highlighted India’s growing ability to integrate air defence, surveillance and precision-strike capabilities during a high-intensity military crisis.
