Adampur, India’s second largest airbase, was among key military establishments that Pakistan tried to attack on May 9 and May 10 following India’s strikes as part of Operation Sindoor. Islamabad had claimed that its JF-17 combat aircraft had struck the S-400 air defence system located in Adampur. The charge was rebutted by the Indian armed forces during several briefings.
