During Operation Sindoor, the ARC gave the Indian Air Force accurate information about the targets of terrorists in Pakistan. These locations included the headquarters of terrorist organizations Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba. Also, the Cordinals of the Terrorist Launch Pad of Jaish, Lashkar and Hizbul Mujahideen in Pakistan’s illegal occupied Kashmir (PoK) were also provided by ARC.
During the operation, ARC also played an important role in monitoring Pakistan’s aircraft and air-space. In such a situation, the Indian Air Force carried out a big strike against Pakistan.

ARC was established in 1962 during the China war. Now it operates like Raw’s technical (aviation) wing. The scope of this wing is from the enemy’s military, sensitive and aerial monitoring of the enemy’s military, sensitive and secret locations. Like the Air Force, ARC has its own reconnaissance aircraft and helicopters, which help in this work.
How important the role of Raw was in Operation Sindoor can be gauged from the fact that when Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a separate meeting with Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, CDS General Anil Chauhan and the head of the three armies, Raw Chief Ravi Sinha was also present during that time. In recent years, Raw has played an important role in uprooting the feet of Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI.
