In changing nature of warfare, govt transforming armed forces: Rajnath

The government is leaving no stone unturned to transform the Armed Forces in view of the dynamic geopolitical world order in the constantly changing character of warfare, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh while speaking at the Army Day event in Pune on Wednesday.

The minister said the use of unconventional and asymmetrical methods in today’s warfare have increased.

“Conflicts and wars will become violent and unpredictable,” the minister said, adding the emergence of non-state actors in many countries and their resorting to terrorism is also a matter of concern.

Due to the rapid technological advancements, future wars witness a change to a great extent. Cyber and space domains are rapidly emerging as new war zones.

Singh lauded the forces and added that “might of our armed forces is such that the adversary does not dare to wage war against India”.

He also launched the ‘Bharat Ranbhoomi Darshan App’ through which the people of the country will be able to visit historical war zones easily and learn about them. A commemorative medallion marking the 352nd coronation of Shivaji, along with a special day cover, was also released.
