The New York Times in their recent report stated that India appeared to have had a "clear edge" in targeting Pakistan's military facilities and airfields during the four-day confrontation last week and also cited satellite images to support the statement.
The report featured high-resolution satellite imagery, from before and after the strikes that shows "clear damage" to Pakistan's facilities by Indian attacks.
India carried out precision strikes under 'Operation Sindoor' on terror infrastructure early on May 7 in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people. India and Pakistan reached an understanding on May 10 to end the conflict after four days of intense cross-border drone and missile strikes.
What Did NYT Report Say?
The described the India-Pakistan tensions following 'Operation Sindoor' as "The four-day military clash between India and Pakistan was the most expansive fighting in half a century between the two nuclear-armed countries. As both sides used drones and missiles to test each other라이브 바카라 air defences and hit military facilities, they claimed to inflict severe damage."
It added that satellite imagery indicates that while the attacks were widespread, the damage was far more contained than claimed — “and appeared mostly inflicted by India on Pakistani facilities.”
In the new age of high-tech warfare, the report said that strikes by both sides, verified by the imagery, appeared to be precisely targeted.
"Where India appears to have had a clear edge is in its targeting of Pakistan라이브 바카라 military facilities and airfields, as the latter stretch of fighting shifted from symbolic strikes and shows of force to attacks on each other라이브 바카라 defence capabilities,” the report said.
The report pointed out that India's defence officials had struck an aircraft hangar with a precision attack at Bholari air base, located less than 100 miles from the Pakistani port city of Karachi, and “The visuals showed clear damage to what looks like a hangar,” the NYT report said.
Further, the Nur Khan air base, within a roughly 15-mile range of both the Pakistani Army's headquarters and the office of the country's prime minister and a short distance from the unit that oversees and protects Pakistan라이브 바카라 nuclear arsenal, was “perhaps the most sensitive military target that India struck.”
The Indian military said it had particularly targeted the runways and other facilities at some of Pakistan라이브 바카라 key air bases and “satellite images showed the damage”, the report said, noting that on May 10, Pakistan issued a notice for the Rahim Yar Khan air base saying that the runway was not operational.
At Sargodha air base, in Punjab Province in Pakistan, the Indian military said it had used precision weapons to strike two sections of the runway.
"Satellite images of the sites Pakistan claimed to have hit are limited, and so far do not clearly show damage caused by Pakistani strikes even at bases where there was corroborating evidence of some military action.”
On the Pakistani officials’ claim that their forces had “destroyed” India라이브 바카라 Udhampur air base, the NYT report said “an image from May 12 does not appear to show damage.”
Following the Indian action, Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military bases on May 8, 9 and 10.
Reportedly, the Indian armed forces launched a fierce counter-attack on several Pakistani military installations, including Rafiqui, Murid, Chaklala, Rahim Yar Khan, Sukkur and Chunian.
Radar sites at Pasrur and Sialkot aviation base were also targeted using precision munitions, causing massive damage, as per PTI.
