Lt Gen Sharma 4

Lieutenant General Pratik Sharma, the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Indian Army’s Northern Command, conducted a high-level review of the Whiteknight Air Defence Brigade to evaluate its preparedness in the face of evolving security challenges along India’s volatile northern borders. The visit comes amid heightened alertness following recent cross-border drone incursions and the successful execution of Operation Sindoor.

During his visit, Lt Gen Sharma commended the unit for its swift and calibrated role in Operation Sindoor—a precision operation that dealt a strategic blow to terrorist infrastructure across the Line of Control. This operation underscored the operational synergy between India’s air defence and intelligence networks, with advanced platforms like the S-400 Triumf and Akash surface-to-air missile systems playing a key role in deterring aerial threats and neutralizing hostile drones.

The Whiteknight Corps, headquartered in Nagrota since 1972, has been instrumental in India’s counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations in Jammu and Kashmir. Lt Gen Sharma’s inspection covered a wide array of activities, including hands-on assessments of the latest air defence assets, electronic warfare modules, and readiness drills. The commander, who previously served as the Director General of Information Warfare, also held discussions with troops and unit commanders on integrating psychological operations and cyber capabilities into air defence frameworks.

The operational review conducted on June 20 validated the brigade’s high state of alertness, adaptability, and technological proficiency. The brigade’s layered defence setup, supported by mobile radar units, interceptor batteries, and real-time coordination with central command structures, was particularly lauded for its deterrence value in high-conflict zones.

In addition to his assessment of military preparedness, Lt Gen Sharma engaged with local veterans and their families as part of the Indian Army’s continuing outreach under the Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare. The Whiteknight formation remains a key player in ensuring both border security and veteran engagement in this strategically vital theatre.

Lt Gen Sharma’s visit reaffirmed the Indian Army’s commitment to modernizing its force posture in northern India. His emphasis on multi-domain integration—ranging from kinetic firepower to information warfare—signals a doctrinal shift in how India plans to counter hybrid threats in the future. The Whiteknight Air Defence Brigade, with its proven track record and renewed focus, stands as a critical shield in India’s defensive architecture.
