As part of the visit, Singh will commission the Indian Navy's latest multi-role stealth guided missile frigate, INS Tushil, at Yantra Shipyard in Kaliningrad on Monday. Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi will join the Defence Minister at the ceremony.
Speaking at the MPhil Convocation of the 62nd National Defence College (NDC) course today, Singh urged officers to adapt to a multi-domain battlefield, where conventional and unconventional warfare intersect.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday stressed the importance of adopting unconventional ideas, unseen by the world, as the only path to success in modern unconventional warfare.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday responded to his earlier statement that "Armed Forces need to be prepared for war". The Defence Minister said that he gave that statement so that India's peace cannot be disturbed under any circumstances.
Speaking in the border town of Rajouri, the defence minister asked the soldiers to “win the hearts of countrymen” and ensure that “lapses are not repeated which hurt the countrymen”.
During his address to the officers and jawans of the Indian Army's 14 Corps at Karu Military Station in Ladakh, Singh stated that India is a peace-loving nation that never resorts to any kind of aggression, but at the same time, it is always prepared to give a befitting reply if provoked.

The defence industry can gainfully utilise this golden opportunity to build robust R & D facilities, capacities and capabilities to meet the futuristic requirements of the armed forces.
The bench sought a response from the centre to a request made by the Delhi government for calling in the army to manage the crisis.
The initiative taken by the Ministry of Defence on procurement seems sound but India will take another two to three years to become self-reliant, for which constant efforts are required and the dependence on the bureaucracy must be reduced.
