India launched Operation Sindoor with precision. It targeted Pakistani air bases and terrorist camps. The operation marked a strategic shift.

Indian jets struck deep into hostile territory. They hit 11 Pakistani air bases and nine terror camps. Precision minimized collateral damage. When pakistan tried retaliating, Indian air defence neutralised turkish drones and chinese MBRLs.

Pakistani Air Bases: Key Targets and Tactical Impact

The Indian Air Force selected targets with care. The Pakistani air bases hit include operational and strategic sites across the country.

Let’s now break down each target individually. Satellite images for some key bases remain unavailable. However, video evidence indicates major damage.

1. PAF Base Nur Khan (Rawalpindi)

Nur Khan sits only 10 kilometers from GHQ Rawalpindi. India struck it hard. Heavy smoke rose after strikes.

One C-130 aircraft likely sustained damage. The scale of destruction suggests more assets may have been affected.

2. PAF Base Rafiqui (Shorkot)

Rafiqui hosts several squadrons, including F-7 and JF-17 units. Multiple strikes crippled its runway and infrastructure.

The Indian Air Force exploited the opportunity. Video analysis indicates sustained hits on aircraft shelters.

3. PAF Base Murid

Murid houses drones like Bayraktar TB2 and Shahpar-II. Videos showed secondary explosions. This confirms destruction of unmanned platforms.

No satellite images have surfaced. However, local footage hints at heavy losses.

4. PAF Base Sukkur

Sukkur operates UAVs and supports operations in Sindh and Balochistan. One hangar was completely destroyed.

Vegetation behind the hangar was also scorched. Likely a Wing Loong II UAV perished inside.

5. Sialkot Cantonment Airstrip

This base supports helicopters and light aircraft. Strikes focused on disabling grounded equipment. However, the images, videos are yet not available.

6. Pasrur Radar Installation

Pasrur lies about 35 kilometers from Sialkot. India neutralized its radar installation with a precision strike.

The strike eliminated one of Pakistan’s surveillance nodes. This disrupted early warning systems in the region.

7. Chunian Air Defence Radar Station

Chunian hosted the Chinese YLC-8E anti-stealth radar system. India targeted and disabled it.

The radar’s destruction weakened Pakistan’s VHF/UHF detection capability. The move signaled technological superiority.

8. PAF Base Mushaf (Sargodha)

Mushaf housed F-16s and JF-17s. It also functioned as Central Air Command headquarters.

India hit both runways with BrahMos strikes. One hit occurred right at the intersection, rendering both runways useless.

9. PAF Base Qadri (Skardu)

Skardu lies in Gilgit-Baltistan. It hosts F-16s and JF-17s. No satellite images have emerged.

However, video evidence are not yet available. This base served as a high-altitude forward deployment zone.

10. PAF Base Bholari (Jamshoro District)

Bholari is a modern base. It holds F-16s, JF-17s, and Saab 2000 AEW&C aircraft.

India struck a 50×50 meter hangar. Based on the size, it likely held either a Saab or an F-16 or even both.

11. PAF Base Shahbaz (Jacobabad)

Shahbaz is a Southern Command base. It operates F-16 Block 52s and JF-17s.

Precision strikes destroyed at least one hangar. Smoke plumes confirm aircraft were inside. India avoided civilian areas completely.

A Developing Situation

Not all damage can be verified immediately. Satellite images from Skardu, Murid, and Rafiqui remain pending.

However, video clips show intense destruction. The full extent of losses across Pakistani air bases will unfold gradually and we will keep adding more details into this article as they surface.
