Operation Sindoor and Agnishodh: Redefining India's Defence Strategy

Army chief Gen Upendra Dwivedi emphasized the Indian armed forces' readiness for fifth-generation conflicts characterized by non-contact warfare, strategic tempo, and psychological dominance during an event at IIT-Madras.

He highlighted Operation Sindoor as a game-changer in India's counter-terrorism doctrine, demonstrating precise, coordinated military action prompting a swift ceasefire with Pakistan.

The inauguration of 'Agnishodh,' a research cell at IIT-Madras, marks a significant step towards self-reliance in defence technology, fostering collaboration between the Indian Army and academia to integrate cutting-edge research with real-time military applications.
