Pakistan successfully targeted and destroyed an Indian S-400 air defense system in Adampur, located in Jalandhar district of India’s Punjab state, in an airstrike on Saturday, the Pakistani military said in a statement. Pakistan Air Force’s JF-17 Thunder jets have destroyed India’s S-400 air defence system stationed in Adampur using hypersonic missiles, Pakistan’s state owned news agency Associated Press of Pakistan reported.
The S-400, valued at approximately $1.5 billion, was considered one of India’s most sophisticated defence assets.
The strike came as part of Pakistan’s ongoing ‘Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos’, a series of retaliatory actions following Indian attacks on Pakistani territory targeting mosques and residential areas.
India acquired its first S-400 units under a $5.43 billion deal signed with Russia in 2018, with deliveries beginning in 2021. The system’s deployment in Punjab, a strategically critical region near the Pakistan border, was intended to bolster India’s air defense capabilities against potential threats from its western neighbor.
It comprises missile launchers, a phased-array radar, and a command center, and can engage multiple targets simultaneously. India had deployed three of the five squadrons, with the Adampur unit being one of the primary installations.
In addition to the S-400 strike, Pakistan also announced it had targeted and destroyed several other Indian military sites, including the BrahMos missile storage in Beas, airfields in Udhampur, Suratgarh, and Pathankot, and artillery positions in Dehrangyari.
Pakistan’s claim of destroying such a system, if verified, would represent a significant blow to India’s defense posture. According to the ISPR statement reported by ChinaDaily, the airstrike was executed with precision-guided hypersonic munitions deployed from the JF-17 Thunder, a lightweight, multirole fighter jet co-developed by Pakistan’s Pakistan Aeronautical Complex and China’s Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group.
The JF-17, introduced in 2007, is a cornerstone of Pakistan’s air force, designed to replace aging Mirage and F-7 aircraft. With a maximum speed of Mach 1.6 and a combat radius of approximately 1,350 kilometers, the jet is equipped with advanced avionics, including the KLJ-7A active electronically scanned array radar, which enhances its ability to detect and engage targets at long ranges.
International observersnoted the downing of Rafale jets has challenged India’s narrative of regional air superiority. A senior French intelligence official also confirmed the loss of one Rafale aircraft—the first combat loss for the jet.
In addition, Pakistan’s armed forces reported intercepting and neutralising 77 Israeli-made Harop drones allegedly launched by India. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations, the drones were brought down using a mix of electronic warfare and conventional air defence systems. Inter-Services Public Relations described the drone activity as a “desperate and panicked response” to Pakistan’s defence strikes.
