Operation Sindoor

The government said that the Pakistani army has not been targeted. 24 missiles were fired in Operation Sindoor, Rafale was used in it. Hammer and Scalp missiles have been used in this operation.
Surgical Strike
In 2016, India entered Pakistan and carried out a surgical strike. On the night of 28-29 September 2016, the Indian Army entered Pakistan and carried out a surgical strike. Indian Army soldiers crossed the Line of Control (LOC) overnight and reached the hideouts of the terrorists and returned after killing them. 45 terrorists were killed in this operation. This operation was a response to the Uri attack on 18 September 2016. In which the terrorists were sent to hell and the terrorist launch pads were also completely destroyed.
what is the difference between the two
In the surgical strike, the Indian Army entered Pakistan and killed the terrorists and destroyed their launch pads. This was a military action carried out in a limited area of the enemy. If we talk about Operation Sindoor, then in this action too, revenge of Pahalgam has been taken and the Air Force has been used in it. In this, targeted air strikes have been carried out with ultra-modern weapons like Rafale and Scalp, Hammer Missile. Overall, in surgical strikes, the attack is carried out by entering through the ground route, whereas in air strikes, fighter planes drop bombs from above.
