Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, on Monday, during the press briefing on Operation Sindoor made a special mention of Australian greats Denis Lille and Jeff Thompson. During the briefing Ghai was explaining the Multi Layered Counter Drone and Air Defence Grid, that played a crucial role in India’s response to the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam last month.
“The diagram which you are seeing, it reminds me of a incident from 1970s. That time Australia vs England Ashes rivalry was at its peak in cricket. During that time, Australia’s Jeff Thompson and Denis Lille used to among the most lethal pacers in the world,” Ghai said.
“That time a phrase came out which read, “from Ashes to Ashes and from dust to dust, if Thomas don’t get there, then Lille surely must. If you see this layer, you will get to understand what I am trying to say.
“Even if you (Pakistan) have passed all the systems, then someone (airfield or logistics installation system) from this layered grid system will take you down,” added Ghai, who took up the role of DGMO of the Indian Army on October 25, 2024.
Well, for anyone, who is not from cricketing background would be thinking who Lille and Thompson are, as mentioned by Ghai.
