Retired United States Army Army Officer John W -Spencer on Wednesday called India’s’ Operation Sindoor ‘a’ decisive victory in modern war “and said that the country has not yet completed the operation. He also said that New India hit back, while India absorbed and waited in 2008.
In a long X post, Spencer, who is also a researcher of urban war and a writer, said that India achieved a “widespread victory” in their operation against Pakistan.
He said that ‘Operation Sindoor’ fulfilled its strategic objectives through decisive powers and a symbolic force.
“India has not completely eliminated Operation Sindoor. Now what is present is a sensitive stop in operation – some can call it a ceasefire, but military leaders deliberately avoided that word. From the perspective of a war, it is not just a break; it is a rare and unrelated military victory after a rare and unrelated military victory.”
“After only four days of calibrated military action, it is impartially decisive: India won a major victory.”
He said, “Operation Sindor fulfilled his strategic objectives and crossed the terrorist infrastructure, demonstrating military superiority, restoring the preventive, and unveiling a new national security theory. It was not a symbolic power. It was a decisive power, applied clearly,” he wrote. “
Referring to the Pahalgam terror attack on 22 April on 22 April, the Pengam terror attack, the Spencer mentioned that the responsibility of the attack was claimed by the Resistance Morcha (TRF), an offshoot of Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (Let).
“India was attacked. On April 22, 2025, 26 Indian citizens, most of the Hindu tourists, were massacred in Pahgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Resistance Morcha (TRF), an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba (late) in Pakistan.
“But contrary to the previous attacks, India did not wait this time. It did not appeal for international mediation or issued a diplomatic demonetisation. It launched war aircraft. On May 7, India launched Operation Sindor, which is a sharp and fine military campaign. The Indian Air Force killed the nine terrorist infrastructure targets inside the heads of heads. The terrorist attacks started from the soil will now be considered as the acts of war, “he said.
Spencer also asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and mentioned how he strongly stated that India would not tolerate any nuclear blackmail.
“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has infallible the new principle:” India will not tolerate any nuclear blackmail. India will strike accurately and decisively on the terrorist hideout developed under the cover of nuclear blackmail. “More than a vengeance, it was the unveiling of a strategic principle. As Modi said,” Terror and talks cannot go together. Water and blood cannot flow together. “,” they wrote.

Spencer also wrote how India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’ was executed at the feet.
“Operation Sindoor was deliberately executed in stages
7 May 7: Nine accurate strike was launched deeply in the Pakistani region. The targets included major terrorist training camps and logistics nodes at Bahawalpur, Muridke, Muzaffarabad and other places.
May 8: Pakistan retaliated with a large -scale drone herd in western states of India. India’s multi-level air defense network- About and promoted by Israel and Russian systems- almost all of them anytime.
May 9: India increased with additional attacks on six Pakistani military airbase and UAV coordination hub.
May 10: A temporary stop in firing. India did not call it a ceasefire. The Indian Army referred to it as a “stagnation of firing” – a semantic but intentional choice that strengthened its strategic control of the situation.
This was not just strategic success. It was theoretical execution under live fire. ,
The Spencer wrote, underlining the effects of ‘Operation Sindoor’,
“Got strategic effects
1. A new red line was drawn – and applied
Terrorist attacks from Pakistani mitti will now meet with military force. This is not a threat. This is an example.
2. Demonstrated military superiority
India demonstrated its ability to attack any target on the Will -Terror Site, Drone Coordination Hub, even the airbase in Pakistan. Meanwhile, Pakistan was unable to enter the same rescue sector inside India. This is not equality. This is heavy superiority. And in this way the actual preventive is installed.
3. Restoration
India retaliated by force, but reduced the full war. The controlled growth sent a clear preventive signal: India will respond, and it controls the speed.
4. Claimed strategic freedom “
Spencer also said in its X post that without demanding international arbitration, the situation was dealt with by India with single-form.
“भारत ने अंतरराष्ट्रीय मध्यस्थता की मांग किए बिना इस संकट को संभाला। इसने संप्रभु शर्तों का उपयोग करते हुए, संप्रभु शर्तों पर सिद्धांत को लागू किया। ऑपरेशन सिंदूर कब्जे या शासन परिवर्तन के बारे में नहीं था। यह विशिष्ट उद्देश्यों के लिए सीमित युद्ध था। आलोचकों का तर्क है कि भारत को इस बिंदु को याद करना चाहिए। रणनीतिक सफलता विनाश के पैमाने के बारे में नहीं है – यह वांछित राजनीतिक प्रभाव को प्राप्त करने के बारे में है,” उन्होंने लिखा।
“India was not fighting for vengeance. It was fighting for the preventive. And it worked. India’s restraint is not weakness – it is mature. It imposed costs, redefined the threshold, and maintained the growth.
“In an era where many modern wars are spiral in open businesses or political confusion, operation vermilion is different. It was a demonstration of disciplined military strategy: clear goals, alignment methods, and means, and adaptive execution in the face of unexpected growth. India absorbed a blow, defined its purpose, and all received within a place of time.”
“The use of force in Operation Sindoor was still controlled – pre -determined, decisive, and without any hesitation. Such clarity is rare in modern war.” In an era defined by Forever Wars “, in cycles of violence, vermilion is different. It provides a model with clearly defined loops.
Compared to India in 2008 – during the UPA rule and current India, Spencer wrote, “India of 2008 absorbed the attacks and waited. It hits India back – unfairly, accurately, and with clarity.”
“Modi’s principles, advancing India’s domestic defense industry, and its professionalism of its armed forces all indicates that a country is no longer preparing for the final war. It is preparing for the next one. The stop in operation is not the end of operation vermilion. It is a stagnation. It is a stagnation. India has taken the initiative. If he will be revived, it will strike again,” he wrote. “
“This detention is restored. It is a new principle. And its study should face the crisis of state-provided terrorism by all countries. Operation vermilion was a modern war-shade under the shadow of-under the shadow of-, with global attention, and within a limited purpose framework, and with every measurement, this is a strategic success.”
“After only four days of calibrated military action, it is impartially decisive: India won a major victory. Operation Sindoor met and surpassed its strategic objectives- the terrorist carrying out the infrastructure, performing military superiority, restoring the preventive, and unveiling … https://t.co/yvxcjajjrs– John Spencer (@Spencerguard) May 14, 2025
