India Considers Rocket-Missile Force Amid Security Threats
The Army Chief of India, General Upendra Dwivedi, has said that India is thinking about creating a special force that uses both rockets and missiles.
This is because countries like China and Pakistan already have such forces.
The Army is also using more drones and other advanced weapons to become stronger.
Recently, there were some drones seen near the border in Jammu and Kashmir, and the Army fired at them.
The Army is also working on new groups and units to make the military more modern and effective.
They want to be able to think smart, see everything, strike deep, and win together.
The Army is also talking to Pakistan about these drones and has warned them not to do this.
India is considering raising a rocket-cum-missile force due to evolving regional security threats from China and Pakistan.
Multiple drones were sighted in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district, prompting the Indian Army to open fire and step up surveillance.
The Army Chief, General Upendra Dwivedi, warned Pakistan against ceasefire violations and cross-border provocations.
The Indian Army is focusing on enhancing its combat prowess by inducting large numbers of drones, missiles, and air defence weapons.
Major reform measures are underway, including the restructuring of the force and the creation of new integrated structures like theatre commands.
