Technological Innovations in Warfare
On Thursday, Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh emphasized the significance of technology in warfare, specifically referencing India's recent anti-terror initiative, codenamed 'Operation Sindoor', which was executed with remarkable professionalism. He expressed India's commitment to utilizing domestically produced defense equipment, adding a unique twist reminiscent of Salman Khan's style, stating, "Once we make a commitment, we don’t listen to ourselves anymore."
Challenges in Project Timelines
Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh pointed out that timelines pose a significant challenge. He noted that once a deadline is set, it seems no project has ever been completed on time. He questioned the rationale behind making promises that cannot be fulfilled, highlighting that sometimes contracts are signed with the knowledge that the work may not be completed. Singh reflected on a time when there was skepticism about Indian industries' capabilities, but he acknowledged that perceptions have shifted significantly over the past decade.
The Need for Self-Reliance
A.P. Singh remarked that the current global situation has underscored the necessity of 'self-reliance' as the only viable solution, urging readiness for the future. He stressed that this mindset should persist when empowering the defense forces, advocating for increased investment in research and development. He referenced the Punjabi concept of 'Dasvandh', suggesting that a portion of earnings should be reinvested into society, particularly for defense and R&D initiatives.
Acknowledging National Victory
Describing Operation Sindoor as a national triumph, Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh expressed gratitude to every Indian who contributed to its success. He stated, "I want to record Operation Sindoor as a national victory. I thank every Indian present here, as I am confident that each has played a part in this achievement.
