"We Are Decades Ahead": Lt Gen Minwalla Reacts To Pakistan’s Satellite Launch

Lt Gen Zubin A. Minwalla, UYSM, AVSM, YSM, Deputy Chief of Integrated Defence Staff (DCIDS), has delivered a calm but crushing response to Pakistan’s recent launch of four satellites. Highlighting India’s 25-year head start, the General noted that space is no longer just an enabler but a "contested operational domain." He revealed that the Defence Space Agency (DSA) is now preparing to control entire constellations of ISR and Communication satellites. With "niche programs" set for launch, Lt Gen Minwalla makes it clear that India remains the dominant force in orbital situational awareness.
