PM Modi Visits Adampur: PM Modi's visit to Adampur Air Base exposed Pakistan's false claims of destroying India's S-400, runway, and fighter jets. With the S-400 system visibly intact, India's military strength and readiness remain undeniable.
In a clear message aimed at countering Pakistan’s falsehoods, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid a surprise visit to the Indian Air Force base in Adampur, Punjab, on Tuesday. His appearance came on the heels of Pakistan’s dramatic claims — that its missiles had wiped out the base, destroyed the S-400 missile defence system stationed there, and killed 60 Indian soldiers.
Those claims, now widely discredited, were built on doctored satellite images and misleading reports, government sources said. Far from being “destroyed,” Adampur remains fully active and mission-ready. Standing beside IAF officers with the S-400 system clearly visible in the backdrop, the Prime Minister’s visit was both symbolic and strategic — a direct rebuttal to Pakistan’s propaganda and a visible show of India’s operational strength in air defence.
Pakistan’s Satellite Evidence Debunked: Adampur Air Base Fully Operational and Defending Against Threats
Government sources have firmly rejected Pakistan’s claims, confirming that the satellite images it presented as evidence were digitally manipulated. Pakistani media outlets had circulated images depicting extensive damage at the Adampur Air Base, but these were quickly dismissed by Indian intelligence officials. According to defence experts, the supposed “damage” in the images did not align with the real-world conditions of the base, which remained untouched.
Far from being inoperable, Adampur played a pivotal role during the recent flare-up, actively countering missile and drone threats aimed at Indian airspace. “The claims are laughable,” remarked a senior defence official. “Not only is the base fully operational, but it was crucial in intercepting and neutralizing hostile actions in real-time during the recent escalation.”
The base’s defensive readiness was clearly evident, contradicting Pakistan’s narrative of destruction. The Indian Air Force’s ability to continue operations without interruption highlights the robustness of its defences and the resilience of its personnel on the ground.
PM Modi Visits Adampur Air Base: Pakistan’s False Claims of Missile Strikes Exposed
The image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi standing confidently in front of the S-400 missile defence system was far more than a routine photo opportunity — it was a clear statement of India’s defensive strength and resilience. As one of the most advanced air defence systems in the world, the Russian-built S-400 is integral to India’s strategic deterrence against potential threats. With three squadrons of the S-400 already operational and two more on the way, India’s military capabilities are only growing stronger.
Pakistan’s claims that it had successfully neutralized this high-tech asset during recent hostilities were swiftly discredited. Not only were these claims exaggerated, but they also revealed the inherent weaknesses in Pakistan’s information warfare strategy. The S-400, visible in the backdrop of PM Modi’s visit, remains fully operational and ready to defend India’s airspace against any future threats. This moment captured the essence of India’s message: the country’s defences remain unbroken, and the narrative of Pakistan’s missile success is nothing more than propaganda.
Operation Sindoor: India Strikes Back Strong After Pahalgam Attack, Destroys Pakistani Jets
In their second press briefing on Sunday, the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) revealed details of Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the Pahalgam terrorist attack that killed 26 Indians, mostly Hindus. Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai, India’s DGMO, confirmed that 35–40 Pakistani soldiers were killed during the three-day operation, which concluded with a ceasefire on Saturday.
Air Marshal A K Bharti also addressed questions about Pakistan’s air force, confirming that Pakistani jets were prevented from entering Indian airspace. While no wreckage was recovered, Bharti assured, “We definitely downed a few planes.” This statement emphasized India’s robust defense and military readiness.
The briefing made it clear that India’s military strength remains resolute in defending its sovereignty and responding decisively to cross-border terrorism.
