Defence Minister Rajnath Singh emphasized the government’s commitment to modernizing the armed forces to adapt to the rapidly changing geopolitical landscape and evolving warfare dynamics. Speaking at the ‘Gaurav Gatha’ event during the 77th Army Day celebrations in Pune, he highlighted the growing use of unconventional and asymmetrical warfare methods, urging the military to stay vigilant and prepared for any challenge.
