Srinagar, May 08 (KINS): Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said Operation Sindoor reflected the Indian armed forces’ swift, precise and coordinated response to protect national interests, while urging the military to stay prepared for future security challenges.
Addressing the joint military commanders’ conference in Jaipur, Singh said the operation highlighted India’s growing defence capabilities and the new military ethos of the country. He asked the three services to remain future-ready by strengthening capabilities in artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, data analytics and secure communication networks.
