India is developing several advanced, most powerful weapons to respond to threats from neighboring rivals China and Pakistan. Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is working around the clock to design and develop existing systems that will help improve India’s defence capabilities. Currently, DRDO is also developing many advanced technologies that, once completed, will cause worry for Pakistan and damage to China as well. During the ‘Ran Samvad’ seminar, General Anil Chauhan, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), discussed the lethal weapons being developed by DRDO.

Addressing the Run Samwad, the first Tri-Services Seminar at Army War College, in Madhya Pradesh’s Dr Ambedkar Nagar, CDS Gen Chauhan called for academic pursuits on analysing the techniques and tactics of a war. He said, “As a Viksit Bharat, we also need to be ‘Sashastra’ (armed), ‘Suraksit’ (secure) and ‘Aatmanirbhar’ (self-reliant), not only in technology, but also in ideas and in practice. Hence, there is a need to increase awareness on all fragments of our society on doctrinal and conceptual aspects, that’s the academic pursuits of how war is fought and practical and actual war fighting techniques and tactics.”

In the backdrop of Operation Sindoor, the CDS said that India is a peace-loving nation but cannot be a “pacifist”. According to news agency ANI, CDS stated, “India has always stood on the side of peace. We are a peace-loving nation, but don’t get mistaken, we cannot be pacifists. I think peace without power is utopian. I like to state a Latin quote which translates as, ‘if you want peace, prepare for war”
At the Ran Samvad, CDS General Anil Chauhan said, “… Two or three days back, you would have heard about DRDO testing a particular integrated system in which there were QRSAM, VSHORADS and 5-kilowatt lasers, they were all getting combined into one. We’ll have to look at multi-domain ISR, integration of ground, air, maritime, undersea, space, sensors, all becoming a key necessity and integrating them.”

“Use of artificial intelligence, advanced computation, data analytics, big data, LLM, and quantum technologies will be essential. For a vast country like India, a project of this magnitude will require a whole-of-nation approach. But like always, I am very sure Indians will do it at a minimal and very affordable cost to us,” he stated.
