New Delhi: Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi has acknowledged that Pakistan had comprehensive satellite-based awareness of Indian military movements during Operation Sindoor, including the positions of aircraft, fighter jets, and ground units.
Speaking at a press conference in New Delhi, General Dwivedi admitted that Pakistan was able to track Indian aerial and ground assets in real time through satellite intelligence during the operation. His remarks came amid renewed accusations against Pakistan, despite the significant operational disclosure.
According to India’s state-run news agency ANI, the Army Chief stated that Pakistan had access to satellite information showing the movement of Indian aircraft, central military units, and operational assets throughout the duration of Operation Sindoor.
The admission marks a rare acknowledgment from a senior Indian military official regarding Pakistan’s intelligence and surveillance capabilities, particularly in the space and satellite domain.
During the briefing, General Dwivedi also commented on the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir, describing it as sensitive but claiming that it remains under control.
He further asserted that Pakistan and China have jointly developed advanced rocket force capabilities, adding that India must also strengthen its own missile and rocket forces to maintain strategic balance in the region.
Defence analysts note that the statement carries strategic implications, as it highlights Pakistan’s growing satellite surveillance capacity and raises questions about India’s operational secrecy during sensitive military deployments.
