After Pakistan’s drone attack in Operation Sindoor, the Indian Army has now created a special drone platoon in all the infantry battalions. On Friday (October 24, 2025), in the presence of Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, the Army presented its special ‘Ashni’ (Ashni) platoon to the world.

In mythological history, ‘Ashni’ is considered to be the weapon of Devraj Indra, which is also known as Bajra. There are 20 soldiers in the Ashni Platoon of the Indian Army, who have been trained in hovering munitions including FPV, surveillance drones and swarm drones.

Capable of carrying hand grenades

FPV i.e. ‘First Person View’ drones were used extensively during the Russia-Ukraine war. These drones are capable of carrying hand grenades along with surveillance. Swarm drone is a group of many small drones, which can attack a convoy of tanks or vehicles along with a group of enemy soldiers. In Loating Munition, the drone is equipped with a high explosive bomb. Like a functioning drone, it gets destroyed on its target and causes tremendous damage to the enemy.

India foiled Pakistan’s drone attack

During Operation Sindoor, Pakistan carried out drone attacks from Siachen to Leh-Ladakh and from Punjab to Rajasthan and Rann of Kutch (Gujarat). Although the army had completely foiled Pakistan’s drone attack, only after this the army prepared a plan to raise a drone platoon in every infantry battalion.

This year, on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas (26 July), Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi had announced the formation of Ashni Drone Platoon and Bhairav ​​Commando Battalion. In just three months, the Army has raised an Ashni drone platoon in every infantry battalion. There are 380 infantry battalions in the army with about 13 lakh soldiers.

Bhairav ​​and Ashni platoon ready

Recently, the Eastern Command and Western Command of the Army had demonstrated drone capabilities by organizing a special drone exercise. In the near future, every soldier of the army will be given training in drone operation, so that he can face drones in the battlefield. As part of technology transformation in the Army, Bhairav ​​and Ashni platoons are being raised.

During this, Samajwadi Party MP Ramashankar Rajbhar told the media that today there was a debate on Operation Sindoor, so the terrorists were killed in Pahalgam. He said that if this debate had happened earlier, then the terrorists could have been eliminated earlier. Rajbhar alleged that the government is working very cleverly and it seems that it was deliberately waiting for the debate day.

In a conversation with the news channel Aaj Tak, the SP leader said, ‘The Defense Minister said in the House that we have killed hundred terrorists, their hideouts have been demolished. But this country wanted to know whether those four terrorists were killed or not. If this information has come today, then it is a good thing.

Questions raised on the intention of the government
Ramashankar Rajbhar said that if the government was active, then it could have done this work earlier. If this has happened after passing months, then the government can answer it. If the debate had happened before, the terrorists would have been killed earlier. The intention of the government may be like this.

“The government votes in everything”
He further said, ‘The government is very clever, it always votes in everything. If the terrorists have been killed on this day, then the Defense Minister should have spoken, but he did not say in the House that this has happened.

Priority told the safety of jawan, farmer and poor
SP MP Ramashankar Rajbhar from Salempur seat in Uttar Pradesh said in his address, ‘The life of the jawan should be safe on the border, the farmer’s field should be safe and the poor’s stomach is safe, this should be our policy.

Starting the discussion on ‘Operation Sindoor’ on Monday in the Lok Sabha, while Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that more than 100 terrorists, their handlers and trainers were killed in India’s military action, when Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi stood up from his seat and asked the question- ‘Then why did you stop the operation?’ After this question of Rahul, opposition MPs also started making noise in the House. But Rajnath Singh said in a restrained tone-‘Let me speak completely, I am ready to answer every question.’

Operation vermilion is not over, postponed: Rajnath
Rajnath Singh made it clear that the operation vermilion was not stopped, but has been postponed. He said, ‘If there is any hand again by Pakistan, then this operation will be resumed. Our aim was not to tease war, but to teach a lesson to those who raise terrorism.

‘Pakistan pleaded for ceasefire’- Rajnath
The Defense Minister claimed that when the Indian Army started targeting Pakistan’s military bases, the neighboring country was completely nervous. The Indian Air Force’s acute aerial action, the army’s counter -attack and the possibility of the Navy attack forced Pakistan to kneel.

He said that on May 10, the DGMO of Pakistan called the Indian DGMO and appealed to stop military action. Then after formal talks on May 12, both countries decided to stop the action.

All goals were met, so stopped operation
Rajnath Singh dismissed the allegations of Rahul Gandhi and the opposition and said that the operation was not stopped under any pressure. India stopped military action because all the strategic goals set were met. He taunted and said, ‘The result matters in the examination, not that the pencil was broken. The result is that during Operation Sindoor we achieved all our military goals.

Rajnath Singh insisted that the Indian Army targeted only those terrorists and those who were involved in attacks on India. The main objective of this operation was to destroy the ‘Terror Nursery’ on the land of Pakistan.

Opposition asked wrong questions, yet I ready to answer
The Defense Minister took a sarcasm at the opposition and said that he repeatedly asks how many aircraft have fallen, but never asked how many enemies of enemies have dropped. He said, ‘If you want to ask the question, then ask- was the operation vermilion successful? The answer is- yes, completely. He said that when the goals are big, getting entangled in small matters can harm the security of the country and the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

Rajnath Singh finally said that he never looked at politics from hostile perspective. ‘Today we are in power, tomorrow can also be in the opposition. When the public handed over the opposition to us, we still played a role responsibly.

Turkish ministers Visit Islamabad: Both senior ministers of Turki arrived in Islamabad on Wednesday, where they are scheduled to meet Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, External Affairs Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar and Army Chief General Asim Munir. This tour is being considered an important step towards the growing defense cooperation and Islamic unity of both countries.

Business, defense and strategic cooperation review
According to the Turki media, issues such as fan and guller’s meeting with Pakistani leaders and military officials will be discussed on issues like economy, defense industry, trade and military cooperation. Also, there will be talk on the review of the High Level Strategic Cooperation Council held in Islamabad in February and the preparation of the next meeting in Turki.

Indo-Pak tension is also in agenda
This tour is happening at a time when India and Turki relations are stressful, especially due to the support of Pakistan. According to the Turki Media Hurriyat, the fan agenda also includes tension and regional peace attempt between India and Pakistan. In such a situation, India can become an important issue of this conversation.

Pakistan can get and Turkas weapons
The Turkas have already said that it will strengthen defense relations with Pakistan. This means that Pakistan can get more weapons and defense equipment from Turki. During the Indo-Pak struggle in May, the weapons made in Turkas helped Pakistan. In 2023, Turki sent weapons and ammunition worth about $ 20.95 million to Pakistan.

Turkas also interested in energy and minerals
Apart from defense, the Turkas are showing deep interest in Pakistan on the economic front. According to experts, Turki is eyeing three national oil companies of Pakistan.

Operation Sindoor: The successful military action taken under the ‘Operation Sindoor’ of the Indian Army filled the entire country with pride. On the night of 6-7 May, India gave a decisive response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April, targeting nine terrorist bases in Pakistan and POK. On this historical success, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh tried to explain India’s policy in a religious manner by giving an example of “Jinh Mohi Mara, Te Mare” from Sundarkand of Ramcharitmanas.

Rajnath Singh described India’s military thinking as Hanuman ji’s policy. He said that we killed only those who killed our innocents. This shows that India does not want any war, but adopts a zero tolerance policy towards terrorists. India’s army did not touch any Pakistani citizen or military establishment. He only targeted the terrorist bases of Jaish, Lashkar and Hizbul.

What is the real meaning of the chaupai of Sundarkand
“Jin Mohi Mara, Te Main Mara.
Mohi na kachu tied Kinh chahun nij prabhu kar kaja॥ “

This chaupai is done when Hanuman ji is present in Ravana’s court. He is asked why he killed Ravana’s son Akshay Kumar and many demons. Hanuman ji answers this with truth and policy. He says I only killed him, who attacked me. I did not touch any innocent.

Operation vermilion and a combination of Indian philosophy
The policy of Lord Hanuman can become diplomatic ideal for any nation, when karma is for religion, then it is a policy to answer with responsibility. Operation Sindoor was not just a military campaign. It was the message of India that now we will not sit silent. We will answer, but with justice.
