India’s Chief of Army Staff, General Upendra Dwivedi, has acknowledged that Pakistan possessed complete satellite-based intelligence on Indian military movements during Operation Sindoor, enabling it to track the deployment of Indian aircraft, vessels and ground units in real time.

Speaking at a press conference in New Delhi, General Dwivedi levelled allegations against Pakistan but, in the same breath, conceded that Islamabad had comprehensive awareness of Indian military activity through satellite surveillance.

According to India’s news agency ANI, the army chief stated that Pakistan knew precisely which Indian aircraft, central units and naval assets were operating in specific locations.

General Dwivedi also admitted that the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir remains sensitive, though he maintained that conditions are currently under control.

He further remarked that both Pakistan and China have established rocket forces, arguing that India must also develop a similar dedicated rocket force to strengthen its strategic capabilities.
