The video, widely shared on social media, captures the moment the JF-17 Thunder takes off from the runway. Fully loaded and ready for a high-risk mission. Although the actual strike is not shown, sources confirm that the aircraft in the video participated in the operation targeting the S-400 system located in Adampur.
Pakistan’s successful strike is a major achievement for its defense forces. The S-400 is one of the world’s most advanced long-range air defense systems. It can intercept threats such as fighter jets and ballistic missiles from distances up to 600 kilometers. The system plays a crucial role in India’s military defense network.
The destruction of the S-400 is seen as a significant setback for India. India had signed a $5 billion deal with Russia in 2018 to acquire five units of the S-400, marking an important step in its defense capabilities.
