India’s defence preparedness at the border with China in Arunachal Pradesh has been strengthened. The first UCAV from Turkey has arrived in Maldives. And for Philippines, Tejas’s customised version with BrahMos NG.

A report has been released by CNN. And in this report, two senior administration officials have been told that when the conflict between Russia and Ukraine began in 2022, at that time, due to the possibility of Russia’s nuclear strike on Ukraine, a lot of preparations were made by the US to deal with it. And the Biden administration was most concerned about whether Russia would use tactical or battlefield nuclear weapons.

And in the midst of this fear, the US asked for help from India to remove the threat of this nuclear strike. So that they can stop Russia from attacking this way. And according to CNN’s report, the US officials believe that India’s PM Shri Narendra Modi and some other countries’ interference in this has helped in avoiding this crisis.

And especially, Indian PM Shri Narendra Modi’s Russian President Vladimir Putin and a good relationship with him, helped a lot in stopping this possible nuclear attack on Ukraine by the end of 2022. And in CNN’s report, officials have been told that when Ukraine’s forces advanced and almost all of Russia’s units were in danger of falling from all sides, in such a situation, the administration had a thought that Russia’s such destructive damage could be a possible trigger for the use of nuclear weapons. As I was reminding you that Russia had accused Ukraine of using dirty bombs.

However, both the US and Ukraine rejected this claim of Russia. And in CNN’s report, this claim of Russia was told as a false flag story. But the US officials were also worried that Russia could use this dirty bomb claim as a cover for a possible nuclear attack.

The leadership of the first training squadron of the Indian Navy, which is called INS Teer, participated in the Cutlass Express 2024 exercise, And this exercise was inaugurated by the President of Seychelles. And it also included a large number of people from India, USA and African countries. And 16 friendly foreign countries participated in it.

For your information, the INS Teer is the first dedicated cadet training ship of the Indian Navy, which was built by Mazgaon Dog Ltd. And it was commissioned in the service of the Indian Navy on 21st February 1986. And another update is that, recently during the Defense Summit organized by NDTV, the Indian Army Chief said that in the process of improving mobility and protection, the Army is in the process of preparing the Artificial Intelligence Roadmap.

And which includes Natural Language Processing, Facial Recognition, Vehicle Tracking, Satellite Imagery Analysis, Autonomous Systems. So there are many such Artificial Intelligence Projects, on which the Army is currently working. To develop a high-powered computing AI cloud, a tri-service project has been started.

In addition to this, he also had to say that Army Robotic Surveillance Platforms, Autonomous Combat Vehicles, Manned Unmanned Cleaning Solutions, 5G Communications, are also included in such projects. In addition to this, Terrain Specific Electronic Warfare Systems, Drone and Anti-Drone Systems, have also been deployed by the Army. The Army has Swarm Drones and new Artillery Platforms.

He also said that the modernization or replacement of all vintage platforms is neither possible nor desirable at a time. And that’s why we intend to increase the ratio of modern equipment from vintage to present. And with this, till 2030, the roadmap to develop self-reliance capabilities is being focused on.

The Army currently works on about 45 niche technologies. There are 120 such projects. And the Army’s vision is to transform itself into a modern, agile, adaptive, technology-enabled and a future-ready force.

So that we can win all wars in a multi-domain operational environment. Yesterday, on Saturday, Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated the Sela Tunnel, This tunnel has been built at a cost of Rs. 825 crore.

Assam’s Tezpur has been built on the road connecting Arunachal Pradesh to Tawang. And the place where this tunnel was built, was occupied by the Chinese soldiers during the 1962 India-China War. So you can understand how important this place is for India.

And this tunnel is not only for civilians but also for defense purposes. It will provide all-weather connectivity. In winters, due to heavy snowfall, the Sela Pass is closed.

So that the military and civilians have to use the Bali-Para-Charidwar road to reach Tawang. But the Sela Tunnel and the Nichifu Tunnel have been designed in this way to provide all-weather connectivity. And through these, all types of military equipment can be made available in any season.

According to military experts, this newly constructed Sela Tunnel will ensure that the Chinese will not be able to monitor the traffic movement in this area. Because the 13,700-feet-high Sela Pass is easily visible to China. And if there is any military movement from the Sela Pass, China can easily observe it.

But due to the construction of this tunnel, if there is any military movement from this tunnel, China will not be able to monitor the activities from here, which is a strategic advantage for India. And on border regions, this tunnel will increase socio-economic development as well as defense preparedness.
