India deployed T-72 tanks along LoC in Akhnoor sector of J&K during Operation Sindoor, with armoured firepower, air defence precision, and artillery coordination delivering a strong response to Pakistan's aggression. The operation exposed serious lapses in Pakistan's artillery training, with an unexploded shell found fitted with a plug instead of a fuse. T-72s, integral to the operation, were fitted with 125mm guns and missile capability up to 4,000m. They were part of a joint force deployment along with BMP-2 armoured vehicles to seal infiltration routes, showcasing sustained readiness. Army officers stated that the operation remains on hold, not terminated, with military action against Pakistan paused since May 10. The soldiers maintain around-the-clock vigilance along the LoC.
