Satellite images show damage India wrought on Pakistan military

India’s military targeted the eight Pakistani airbases with missiles and other long-range weapons in retaliation for Pakistan’s attempts to strikes 26 military facilities early on May 10, people familiar with the matter said on Sunday. The Indian strikes exposed the “massive gap” between the technological and military sophistication and application of power by the armed forces of the two sides, the people said.

Damien Symon, a geo-intelligence researcher at The Intel Lab, said the imagery provided by India’s defence ministry confirmed a series of well-executed precision airstrikes targeting several Pakistani military facilities.

“The strikes appear intentionally designed to neutralise specific military infrastructure while avoiding collateral damage,” Symon said.
