The Indian Army used indigenous weapons and air defense systems well in ‘Operation Sindoor’ in a four -day military action. The army enlisted the help of modern missiles and defense systems as well as vintage (old) system.
,
The world saw the strength of modern air defense systems like Swadeshi BrahMos missile, S400 and indigenous sky. At the same time, Vintage Pichaura Air Defense System, Summer Missile System and M70 Air Gun were also used.

The Air Force currently has more than 25 pichaura squadrons. It has destroyed many drones in Operation Sindoor.
Pichaura: came to India in the 1970s The Pichora or Picora missile system also known as S-125 Nova is its NATO name: SA-3 Goa. The missile system, which hit the Soviet Russia -produced ground, came to India in the 1970s. It was developed in the 1960s by former Soviet Union designer Alexi Isev. The 70s has been a reliable weapon for the Indian Air Force (IAF) in dealing with air threats. India first deployed the Pichaura missile system in Bhuj in 1974-75. The Air Force currently has more than 25 pichaura squadrons. It has destroyed many drones in Operation Sindoor. In Bhuj Airbase, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh showed a glimpse of the Pichaura missile system to the world.
- Changes in radar system: Pichaura was an old -fashioned system. Its radar system was upgraded by DRDO. The Pichaura missile system has been upgraded to the latest missile system.
- Experts in destroying drone: Pichaura is particularly more expert in destroying drones such as targets flying at a low level. However, these systems are also capable of destroying fighter aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles. It can destroy the target flying at a height of 20 meters to 20-25 km. Its firing range is 30–35.4 km. Pichaura was destroyed by the advanced drone of Turkas fired by Pakistan due to the quality of hitting a low -height target. It can be easily moved on trucks. In such a situation, it is easy to deploy and transport anywhere.
- 60 to 70 kg warhead: Pichaura uses 5V24 (V-600) and 5V27 missiles. The V-600 contains a 60 kg warhead, while the advanced 5V27 has a 70 kg warhead. This includes 33 kg of explosives. It can detect a target up to 100 kilometers. Heavy electronic can also work in the environment of jamming.
The summer missile was also performed in the air exercise air power in Pokaran.
Summer missile system The summer missile system is also a vintage system. It was replaced by Indian scientists. Summer missile was an Air to Air Missile which was converted into Surfase to Air Missile. The Indian Air Force took R-73 and R-27 missiles from Russia years ago. These missiles fitted in fighter aircraft and hit the air from the air, but their stock became old. It seemed that it is no longer used, but changed it to Surface to Air Missile System and named it Summer. The summer missile was also performed in the air exercise air power in Pokaran. It is run by the Air Force’s 7 Base Repair Depot (BRD) unit, which specializes in new weapons.
Recycle to old Russian missiles: This is India’s small but dash weapon, which piles drones and helicopters, fighter jets in the sky itself. Recycled the old Russian missiles and made it a Surface to Air Missile System. The summer air defense system can be loaded on a truck and deployed in the high mountains or how any indulgent area.
Two missiles: It has two missiles. The first missile summer forest weighs 105 kg and length is 10 feet. It is capable of targeting the target 12 to 40 km away. It targets drones, helicopters and other air threats. The weight of summer two is 253 kg and the length is 13.4 feet. It can destroy the target 12 to 40 km away. It can also target fighter jets and large threats. The missile system killed several Pakistan drones in Jammu. Summer is deployed in areas where drones or helicopters are at risk of attack.
The L70 anti-aircraft gun can destroy its target in the range of up to 3-4 km.
L70 Anti Aircraft Gun The old -fashioned anti -aircraft gun L70 gun has been updated in modern surface to air anti -drone guns. L70 killed a lot of drones from Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.
The L-70 is a defense system of Sweden origin. This is a little old technology, but India has upgraded it with BEL. It can destroy its target in the range of about 3-4 km. This defense system is used to kill drones and light air vehicles flying at low height. It has an automatic firing system. It performs radar -based targeting. Former Wing Commander Manish Chaudhary said that our army achieved the Hundred Percent Interception ratio in Operation Sindoor. The whole world showed its strength about the performance of the integrated multi -layer air defense system.
