Chief of Defense Staff General Anil Chauhan said on Friday that the border dispute with China is the biggest security challenge for India, and the second major challenge is Pakistan’s pseudo -war.
Speaking at an event in Gorakhpur, the CDS mentioned the security challenges facing India and the challenges faced in the future. “He said,” One of the first challenges is a border dispute … I consider the dispute with China to be the biggest challenge. The second major challenge is the pseudo -war of Pakistan, whose strategy is ‘strategy by giving thousands of wounds’. “
He said, “Another challenge is what kind of war to fight. Everyone knows that the war is changing. It has included not only the Navy, Army and Air Force, but also space, cyber, electromagnetic fields.”
The CDS said that people connect self-sufficiency only with defense production, but it should also be linked to defense research. “When we talk about national security, it is also an important aspect of this. Most people also associate self-reliance with defense production, but it should also be associated with defense research and we should be self-sufficient in it.” CDS said that India and Pakistan said that India and Pakistan said that India and Pakistan said that India and Pakistan said that the Balakot operations were separated in it. It is, which India carried out in response to the Pulwama terror attack.
He said, “India focused on assessment of long distance accurate attack weapons and post -attack damage, and Pakistan must have focused on its air defense … After the 2016 Uri terror attack, during the surgical strike, the Indian Army entered Pakistan through the ground and destroyed the terrorist camps. Later, we already had an exact attack capacity. When we discussed with political leadership, it was decided that we would not be able to achieve political objectives by using drones and ammunition only.
The CDS said that during Operation Sindoor, the political leadership had given a clear message to destroy terrorist camps and retaliate only on the attack. “He said,” During Operation Sindoor, we were given complete operational freedom including planning and selection of goals. “China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi had visited India before the SCO Shikhar Sammelan last month. To maintain effective border management to maintain peace and harmony in border areas, it was decided to set up a work group under WMCC.
In addition to the existing general level mechanisms in the western region, the two countries decided to organize a general level meeting of general level mechanisms in eastern and central regions and a quick meeting of general level system in the western region. They agreed to discuss the stress using the boundary management mechanisms at diplomatic and military levels and reducing stress, using limit management mechanisms to carry forward the process of boundary management.
