Sir,
The Chief of Defence Staff’s emphasis on operational preparedness, modernisation, transformation, and indigenisation in India’s defence strategy is timely and critical. With escalating border tensions, particularly with China in eastern Ladakh, it is essential to enhance our combat capabilities along the LAC. The unresolved disputes highlight the need for constant vigilance.
India’s focus on indigenisation under ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ will reduce dependency on foreign military imports, ensuring strategic autonomy in an increasingly volatile world. Additionally, the integration of AI and data-centric warfare will play a vital role in future conflicts, underscoring the need for technological advancements.
Moreover, the expansion of defence diplomacy will strengthen alliances and cooperative frameworks, reinforcing our defence strategy. To secure national security, India must remain adaptable and forward-looking.
