As political tensions continue to simmer over the conduct of Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has released a striking new video to celebrate the bravery, valour and heroism of India's armed forces.
The release of the video comes shortly after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi reignited his criticism of external affairs minister S. Jaishankar over the reported loss of Indian aircraft during Operation Sindoor.
Gandhi accused the government of informing Pakistan at the outset of the operation — a move he called “a crime.”
“How many Indian aircraft did we lose because Pakistan knew?” Gandhi asked pointedly on May 19, referencing Jaishankar’s earlier remarks that India had informed Pakistan at the beginning of the operation.
The high-octane footage captures the awe-inspiring might of India’s defense machinery — from supersonic jets piercing the sky to fearless commandos leaping into action across rugged terrains.
The visual montage includes frontline aircraft like the Rafale, Su-30MKI and Tejas roaring above mountains, accompanied by elite paratroopers and Special Forces engaged in intense combat drills.
Set to a powerful patriotic score, the video underlines India's self-reliance in defense production under the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' mission.
The footage also spotlights women officers in key operational roles, highlighting the inclusive and modern spirit of today's armed forces.
It concludes with the IAF motto, “Touch the Sky with Glory”, marking the video as more than a display of military prowess — a heartfelt tribute to every soldier’s courage and a call for national pride and unity.
Rahul vs Jaishankar
Earlier on X, Gandhi reshared a post and wrote, “EAM Jaishankar’s silence isn’t just telling — it’s damning. So I’ll ask again: How many Indian aircraft did we lose because Pakistan knew? This wasn’t a lapse. It was a crime. And the nation deserves the truth.”
This was Gandhi’s second public statement on the matter, following his May 17 post that stated, “Informing Pakistan at the start of our attack was a crime. EAM has publicly admitted that GOI did it. Who authorised it? How many aircraft did our air force lose as a result?”
In response, the Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement pushing back strongly against the allegations: “External Affairs Minister had stated that we had warned Pakistan at the start, which is clearly the early phase after Op Sindoor’s commencement. This is being falsely represented as being before the commencement. This utter misrepresentation of facts is being called out.”
