Retired Air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra revealed that Pakistan deployed spies and activated sleeper cells within India to track the locations of India’s S-400 air defense systems. Speaking in an interview, the former Western Air Command chief noted that the Russian-made S-400 system effectively created an impenetrable air shield, keeping Pakistani fighter jets at least 200 km away from the border. Indian security forces completely neutralized these espionage efforts while keeping exact locations confidential.
Retired Air Marshal Jeetendra Mishra, who headed the Western Air Command, revealed that Pakistan went to extreme lengths to track the exact deployment sites of India’s Russian-made S-400 air defense systems. Desperate to map the air shield, Pakistan activated covert sleeper cells and local spies within India while receiving satellite intelligence support from foreign allies.
