Rajnath Singh Observed Thar Shakti
Earlier, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh observed the Indian Army’s “Thar Shakti” military exercise near the India-Pakistan border in Rajasthan on Friday. He praised the soldiers’ courage, valor, and dedication. On the second day of his visit to Jaisalmer, Rajnath Singh observed the exercise in Longewala, where hundreds of soldiers demonstrated their modern warfare capabilities and strength on the desert sands. This military exercise included robot dogs, drones, advanced vehicles like the Ataur N1200, state-of-the-art tanks, and helicopters, demonstrating a unique combination of futuristic warfare skills and speed and strength.
What is NOTAM?
Actually, NOTAM stands for “Notice To Airmen.” It is a notice that provides pilots, air traffic controllers, and other aviation personnel with critical information related to air travel. The primary purpose of NOTAM is to ensure safe and smooth air travel. It provides updates on temporary changes or hazards that may affect flight operations, such as closed runways, adverse weather conditions, or military exercises. The primary objective of NOTAM is to ensure flight safety by informing all concerned parties in real time.
Army Launches Operation Sindoor
The Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on April 22nd. As part of this operation, the Army carried out attacks on nine terrorist hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on the night of May 6th and 7th. Since then, tensions have persisted between India and Pakistan. Pakistan launched numerous drone and missile attacks, but India’s air defense systems thwarted all of these attacks. Currently, a ceasefire has been established between India and Pakistan following a mutual agreement.
In “Operation Thar Shakti 2025,” the Indian Army conducted a war exercise with Bhairav Commandos, Infantry, Artillery, and Army Air Defense units at Longewala, Jaisalmer.
The Bhairav Commandos, an elite unit of the Indian Army, displayed their bravery and skill in “Operation Thar Shakti 2025” at the Longewala border near the India-Pakistan border in Jaisalmer district, Rajasthan. Along with the Bhairav Commandos, infantry, artillery, and Army Air Defense units also participated in this exercise. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh warned Pakistan on this occasion, saying, “The Army has given Pakistan a lesson in Operation Sindoor. But if Pakistan dares to do anything again, this time Pakistan will be destroyed.”
Army’s Strength Showcased in “Thar Shakti”
In “Operation Thar Shakti,” the Indian Army practiced operations such as tank column movements, artillery fire, and air support for the Army. The Army Air Defense team practiced attacking the enemy with kamikaze drones. The exercise utilized weapons such as artificial intelligence-based targeting systems, electronic warfare systems, indigenous Arjun and T-90 tanks, and the Pinaka rocket system. The exercise aimed to prepare for the use of modern technology and artificial intelligence in future warfare. The exercise placed special emphasis on joint operations, self-reliance, and innovation among the three services.
BLongewala is the historic site where, in 1971, 120 soldiers of the Punjab Regiment bravely fought off a force of 2,000 Pakistani soldiers and 40 tanks. Recalling this heroic act, the Defense Minister said, “Operation Sindoor will go down in history not only as a military operation, but also as a symbol of the nation’s courage and restraint. The action taken by our Army against terrorists was consistent with both policy precision and human dignity.” The operation is not over yet. Our mission for peace will continue as long as even a single person with a terrorist mindset is alive.

Defense Minister’s prayers at the Tanot Mata Temple
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh offered prayers at the Tanot Mata Temple in Jaisalmer on Friday. He was accompanied by Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi and Major General Ashish Khurana, Commander of the ‘Battle Axe’ Division. Singh performed Jalabhishek at the Mahadev Temple and tied a handkerchief to a Khejri tree near the Mansa Mata Temple to fulfill his wishes. He also saw the unexploded bombs dropped on the Tanot Mata Temple during the 1965 Indo-Pak war. Singh said, “I feel honored to have visited Tanot Mata and my life has been blessed.”
Pakistan is facing a double blow. India’s military might has likely increased the difficulties of Pakistan Army General Munir. Meanwhile, Afghan fighters have also given Pakistan sleepless nights. The Afghan Taliban do not recognize the Durand Line as a border and claim Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) as their territory. Afghan fighters are challenging the Pakistani Army, saying, “If you have drunk your mother’s milk, come this way sometime, we will teach you a lesson in war.” Former Pakistani military officers also say that Afghanistan has worsened Munir’s situation. Now, Pakistan faces a well on one side and a ditch on the other.
