One thing that everyone can understand is that the sky is done in the dark of night because the aircraft or drones do not come at night. But it is the thinking of the ordinary people, who believe experts on this issue? News18 Hindi spoke to the defense expert and retired Colonel Danveer Singh of the Indian Army and got to know why the air strike is being done at night. What is the opinion of experts? The expert said that a target before the attack is detected from the electro-optic system. Herein means electro using technology and optical vision or light, in an optical way. In simple words, by attacking the daylight, the drone or plane can get into the eyes of the radar, along with the soldiers of the foreland. But the optical aspect ends by attacking at night. Danveer Singh said: “Strike is done at night to neutralize the optical method. Strike at night can only detect in an electronic way, not in an optical way. So one of the two ways to catch the aircraft can be denied.” The expert also explained the second reason that is psychological. He said: “If the operation at night the army or operator is to wake up all night and if this action continues the next day, the soldiers or operators start to take tired and their capacity. As a result, the operations are done at night.” Stay connected to reading every small and big news related to the growing dispute between India and Pakistan.
