MoD sources  have confirmed that along with Lahore, India has also destroyed air defence radar units in Karachi.
Direct and pin-pointed hits on the targets took place sometime on Thursday the 8th of May 2025.
Israel made Harop drones, known for their radar-seeking capabilities, were used to attack multiple strategic locations across Pakistan including the selected targets in Lahore and Karachi.
In Lahore HQ-9 Pakistani key radar infrastructure was destroyed.
A strong flotilla of about 26 warships have been deployed in the high seas in the Arabian Sea most likely led by aircraft carrier INS Vikrant.
Harop drones are deployed both from ground based cannisters and naval platforms.

The Harop, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), is a loitering munition – a cross between a drone and a missile – capable of independently identifying and destroying high-value targets, particularly radar systems and air defence platforms.

According to the Military Balance report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, the Harop is a part of India’s growing arsenal of unmanned precision-strike capabilities.

Designed for deep precision attacks, the Harop can loiter over target zones for up to nine hours using an electro-optic seeker to locate, identify, and strike from multiple angles.

Its immunity to satellite jamming (GNSS) and real-time human oversight give it both autonomy and flexibility in complex battlefield environments.

As stated earlier these drones are launched from canister-based systems mounted on mobile ground vehicles or naval platforms, making them deployable across diverse terrains and suitable for fast, targeted strikes.

India’s use of the Harop in ‘Operation Sindoor’ is a clear signal that it is aiming to not only eliminate terror infrastructure but also degrade Pakistan’s defensive capabilities to prevent further incursion.
