Future Ready Force
1/16/2026 10:08:37 PM
Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi while addressing the Army Day parade sent a clear message that the Indian Army is moving forward as a future-ready force, possessing well-trained soldiers, modern equipment, and multi-domain operational capabilities.
The technology is being used to make the soldiers more lethal, resilient, and adaptable across diverse terrains and operational scenarios.
The Army Chief’s assertion has driven home a point that technology is being used to make soldiers even more capable. Besides technology the armed forces are laying emphasis on using the indigenous weapons. India during the past few years has become self-reliant and the focus is on making the nation Atamnirbhar.
The increasing induction of home-grown weapons, platforms, and systems not only enhances operational autonomy but also ensures faster maintenance, upgrades, and customization to India’s unique requirements. General Dwivedi’s emphasis on indigenous solutions underscores the strategic understanding that true military strength is inseparable from industrial and technological self-reliance.
With the changing times, challenges too are becoming stiff. The armed forces are preparing for future wars and new structures are being created in this direction. While discipline, courage, and training have always been the Army’s defining strengths, technology is now acting as a force multiplier. Advanced surveillance systems, network-centric operations, precision weapons, and real-time intelligence have enhanced situational awareness and decision-making on the battlefield.
Every effort is being put to ensure that an agile, responsive, and mission-oriented army always remains prepared to face any eventuality which may knock at our doors in future. Conventional threats persist, but they are now accompanied by cyber warfare, space-based challenges, information operations, and hybrid threats.
Success of ‘Operation Sindoor’ told the world that India is capable of safeguarding its territorial integrity and hitting the adversary hard within its own territory. The
Indian armed forces established their supremacy by destroying nine terrorist camps within Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). The skirmishes which ensued for 4-days led to Pakistan suffering heavy losses.
The hostilities ended after Pakistan Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) reached out to his Indian counterpart to seek a ceasefire.
At present Indian armed forces are in a combat mode and are prepared for a war. The Army Chief has made it clear that “Operation Sindoor” is on pause and hasn’t been called off yet.
