My assessment is that the Indian armed forces are adopting emerging technologies for incremental change and not transformation—which is the need of the hour.
IAF aircraft that will participate in exercise from 12 July to 2 August include the Su-30 MKI multirole fighters, the C-17 Globemaster and the IL-78 Air-to-Air refuelling aircraft.
Given the complexities of the challenge, it is not the Armed Forces alone but all organs of the government that must dwell on these issues. Technologies and doctrines must develop concurrently.
The use of drones in Ukraine has highlighted key advantages over MBTs like situational awareness, allowing commanders to gather real-time intelligence and assess enemy movements with precision.
Pitch Black 2022, Australian Air Force’s biennial warfare exercise, stands out for an unusual display of enthusiasm by two EU powers, France and Germany.

As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
I have only one question. Can Indian Armed forces has the capability to fight with an enemy. I reaaly don’t think so. Most of the Generals don’t even know how to fight? They are all desk based. First India must conduct a short war and check its capabilities. Only those armies which are constantly on fight like US can win battles and wars.
